I'll print off a overlay of a GT3076R vs Kando T67 with very similar mods and on the same dyno... You will be very surprised how similar they are :)

If I wanted to I can do a 13-15sec ramped run and make my graph come on that early like "wasnt me" run.

I'm not revving it to 8000rpm for a number, it's going to be like that all the time... If I wanted a number it would be going to 9000rpm

Not really crazy, most the drift guys over here run 8500rpm and sit on limiter all day without too many issues

Maybe thats why some motors last and some don't. I personally dont rev mine past 7100.

Still making 405kw at 7100 :)

Remember also that mine is still a happy at 8000rpm and power is still rising, where as GT30 turbine Garretts have turned over well before then and the motor is just getting stressed.

I guess only time will tell how long it lasts...

Your missing the point...Why rev your engine to 8000rpm when you could make the same power at 6000rpm....The most my car has made is 356rwkw (Mainline Dyno from memory) and it sees that at a bit over 6000rpm. My car has been on E85 for 2+ years now and i havnt looked back. Response and power cant beat it...If you are ever in SA i will be more than happy to take you for a spin.

Whats a good close GTR estimate of 400rwkw in awkw? Anyone got the AWD drivelines power loss figures from one of them sweet dynos?

I ask cause I'm running 301awkw now, I'd assume that's up near 345-350rwkw? -5's, stock engine, 18psi.

Cause if that's the case, and I work the engine to handle 22+psi, throw in some cams, and minor port work, I figured 400rwkw is easily obtainable? Car already has all the other supporting mods, big cooler, big exhaust, afms, jectors, so on..

Really? I thought there was about a 10-15% difference in power output between the 2 drive types.

Edit: Heh, I've searched for this before, and I'm looking again, and it's tough to find an definitive answer through all the total nonsense answers.

Further reading on trash forums, I found a bright spark with a convincing way of saying the drive train losses are fixed, what with all the articles/forum threads around talking about percentage losses.

Eg: You might make 200kw at the engine, and 140kw at the wheels. Then if you make 400kw at the engine, you'll make around 340kw at the wheels. Excuse the fact some of you probably know this, but I'd assume lots of people (myself included) think about fixed percentages.

And if that's the case, then the AWD mode on GTR's would used a fixed amount, instead of a percentage too. The pieces come together! :D

Edit: Excuse the fact if it's posted somewhere here, but I haven't seen it, and in fact, I've never read it this way until today... And I read forums a bit too..

Huh? through a transfer case, diff, axles and hubs you gotta see at least a 20kw drop.

Has anyone done the back to back runs to check it out?

Power isn't always running through the transfer case...

Back to back runs always confirm they are so close there is nothing in it!

Bloody hell don't start the fixed vs percentage debate again. There like a 10 page thread on it.

Percentage loss is a good way to work out factory approximate drivetrain losses. When you start making 3, 4 or even 5 times the factory power levels, those percentages are not logical any more. There was a big thing on it here, once again, a lot of people agreeing to disagree.

My arguement is you can't say that a drag car making 3000hp at the wheels is still going to have a 20% drivetrain loss coz that's BS

Power runs through the transfer while it's on the dyno though doesn't it?

The rear wheels are always in a slip event so the fronts should always be having 'some' torque applied to them. That torque has to come from somewhere

nah it's no where near that much. 400rwkw is about 375-380awkw or so. if you've got 301awkw you would be about 320-325rwkw on most dynos. there is not much difference between AWKW and RWKW on dyno dynamics dynos. certainly not 15%. and it's not a fixxed percentage anywway. the gap does widen a little bit the higher the power level but it's not linear. like it might be 20kw difference at 200kw and only 25kw at 400kw. there is no fixed answer. regardless of that even just different dynos vary a bit even when all reading RWKW or AWKW.

The rear wheels are not in a slip event if the dyno allows the front wheels to match speed... Even for a split second :)

if it will really help people sleep at night if I have time this weekend i'll put one of my GTRs on the dyno. run it in AWD, then run it in RWD and see what it gets.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
