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?

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
