Sensor was ordered from south this morning Steve. should get here monday/tuesday.

As soon as Sean has a spare spot he will throw it back on the rollers. I think he's quite keen to see where this goes as well.

Awesome !

Thats not the plan Dave. Mid 500 hp has always been the goal. What we are trying to achieve here is that figure on as low a boost and revs as is attainable.

Surely you're keen to see how far you can push the envelope though, then turn it back down to the power youre after?!

EG turn it up to max efficiency for results sake then back down to 20psi or whatever for everyday use

From what we heard before we put one on Gervase's 33GTR, the XR6 guys were replacing Z's with them and gaining about 100hp at the wheels and 400-500rpm better response

Gervase took off his 0.84 T04Z and put on the 0.89 GT3788 and gained about 400rpm response and made (I think) about 80hp at the wheels more on the same dyno.

This is the 4th one of these turbos I have fitted now, every single one is as responsive as a 35R or around the same but makes 150 odd HP more at the wheels depending on the application of course (mostly 25/30's or heavily modded 26's)

Interesting, would love to see some actual results. I'm a little lost on how a compressor that should flow about 100hp more makes 100hp less at the wheels?

Thats easy..the T04Z is a nugget.

Was a nugget when it was still the T04R

Thats this blokes opinion anyway.

Theread revival time. back on the dyno yesterday for some preliminary work and promptly spat out 450 hp at 13 lb.Serious time gets serious next week.

I think I'm gonna love the new turbo.

Missed them lb's didn't you Simon, haha.

All round very impressive results anyway, am very happy to see that a size up in turbo can be combated by a move to a twin scroll housing. Time to have another read of the EFR thread.. I need a price in time for tax return.

If you had blown 5 turbos in 3 years and had to rebuild the engine every time, lunching bores and destroying heads, I think I know where I'd stick that envelope if he pushed it.

The aim of this was purely to give Noel a fast car. He continued to push the 35R til it's absolute breaking point. Every time one would blow, another would go on, then blow.

We moved to this turbo because we know what it can do and hopefully it will mean he can actually go out and race the car instead of waiting for me to have time to build him another engine.

Also, unless he can show both myself and Sean (tuner at EFI) that he actually NEEDS more than 565hp at the wheels, then he won't be getting 1hp more. If it was a dyno car or something that only saw driving on weekends, I'd push it til it stopped making power. Should be good for 700hp at the tyres with everything going for it.

Yeah lets do it Dan. (insert evil grin here)

Nice work Noel, hope she works out!

Thanks Si, Theres an air of confidence about it this time from all partys.

Awesome, good luck - keen to hear results! (and dyno vids :D )

Do you have dyno plots from the old GT3582R for comparisons sake?

Will definitely post the old and the new Lith. I am as keen as any to see how close the power curve v boost can match the 35R.

And you get back on the dyno. i dont want any delays tomorrow. :domokun::nyaanyaa:

Exciting stuff Noel! No doubt you will ring dad as soon as you know.

Im always getting the information second hand..... I thought we were friends :(

Because i have his number in my phone and not yours. pm me bish.

by stock bottom end do you mean stock pistons as well? how on earth do they cope with the cylinder pressures that 444kw creates at peak torque? or has your tuner flattened out peak torque a bit?

He is the/our tuner Rolls. His 26 is a rolling testimony to safe tuning.

I can attest to the stock bottom end, I was there when they screwed it together. We practically had to bulldog him to the ground just to drain his wallet to put new bearings and a decent harmonic balancer on the damn thing.

Yes they are the original pistons the car came out of the factory with. The only bottom end change is ARP rod bolts.

I have never seen a piston break from cylinder pressure unless the engine pings.

If you dont let them ping, and dont melt them they are pretty much indistructable.

Yep pinging is the death of most motors, I was under the impression that even not pinging once you got to those kind of torque levels it would damage stock cast pistons as well. Learn something new every day

How do you monitor temps to make sure they aren't getting cooked, do you just do it based on the EGTs at the collector? if so what kind of temps do you aim to keep it under?

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
