Also interestingly (this is always an interesting topic) - Nizpro only use 63mm on their 400rwkw+ XR6 setups. They are taller than a GTR item, but not as wide (they are bolt in replacement).

Now those cars have the MPH to back their power levels (130mph+ in a FG FPV), so they certainly aren't being restricted by any means of the word :)

Well different kettle of fish my friend, 4000cc motor that is capable of 400kw (lets not mention the 1000nm of torque at 3000rpm lol) at alot less boost pressure than that of our little 2600cc milk crate motors.. In saying that i dont know really know much about XR's but thats the direction that common sense seems to point me towards

No.

Now this one i will agree with you on :P

Is there a thread discussing tie down methods to hold gtr's onto the dyno properly? I will be booking more dyno time soon and want to do all the tuning in 4th so I can compare my results to what everyone else does.

What has boost pressure got to do with it? Its about the volume or air/airflow through the cooler and its ability to cool it with as low a pressure drop as possible. Coolers work efficiently when they have turbulent flow through them as all those excited air particles bounce off the wall of the intercooler and allow them to transfer heat. So by nature anything that cools will have a pressure drop across it. Otherwise a straight bit of pipe would offer less pressure drop , but of course nowhere near the cooling.

So I suppose you can make the assumption that a turbo at 18psi may have cooler outlet temps then something spinning 22psi. But hp is hp and requires a certain amount of cfm to achieve. So whether its a 4L at 6,000rpm or a 2.6L at 8,500rpm...an intercooler doesnt care or know the difference. It just has to pass air and cool it

Check our card's channel on YouTube. You will see how jim ties his gtr's down on his clips.

Usually runs a loop inside the cabin with both doors open and ties it towards the rear of the car.

Yeah Ive seen that method before. I'll have to see if the shop I use have ancors on the floor behind the doors.

Your 5 th is 1:1 though Ian as is R32/R33's 4th. Although you have a slightly taller diff ratio.

True, but I've noticed that a lot of the other R34 dyno sheets in circulation (from known tuners like Racepace and RIPS) seem to be done in 4th. The only reason I want to use 4th is for comparison purposes. Roller speed maxes out around 200km/h in 4th at about 7500 rpm from memory.

Dyno sheet in RPM rather than road/roller speed?

My dyno sheets have had both so far.. but the sheets I am aiming to compare too don't. And while 4th gear vs 5th gear results should produce very similar power figures, the torque and boost response curves are completely different. On the street I'll get full boost at 4500, but on a dyno the car wants off the rollers if it is loaded up at 12km/second to achieve the same response curve.

lol Dan! :D

i love how you ask loaded questions when you know the answer - i know, ya know.

I know Racepace do use "dyno wheels", just a set of R34 GTR rims with tyres for a lot of cars when doing comparo's etc. That way at least everyone uses the same rim/tyre combo. Also so that people don't have their semi's chewed out given the cars that go in there.

I think doing it that way is a good idea for parity sake. Im not sure other workshops do the same, however I've seen some that do so depends where i guess.

So because this thread is full of sooks who want NA response and big block Chev amounts of torque rather then old school kick in the ass when the big single hits....I am curious to know of those making 400rwkws, what power are you making at 4,000rpm and 5,000rpm.

Agreed.. you wouldn't think changing the intake would be a restriction though would you.. you think that would be the least of the restriction...

Anyhow - just pointing out they 'change something' when getting up to those levels.

I'll have to do a back to back myself someday just for interest. I'd like to log the intake temps and pressure drop over a known 'load' etc and see what happens.

I am curious to know of those making 400rwkws, what power are you making at 4,000rpm and 5,000rpm.

3500 RPM = 140 RWKW

4000 RPM = 190 RWKW

4500 RPM = 260 RWKW

5000 RPM = 350 RWKW

5500 RPM = 395 RWKW

Peak power is 426 @ 7500 RPM

8000 RPM = 415 RWKW

Have you got the same figures for GT-RS's handy?

I only have these figures on me right now;

3000rpm = 150rwkw

4000rpm = 235rwkw

Thats compared to the old setup;

3000rpm = 70rwkw

4000rpm = 120rwkw

Should add, not that it's slow, but these numbers are done with the wrong cams, i'm certain a cam change will net a bit more gain but with a new engine on the way the current one will stay as is and nothing be changed on it before its removed and stored somewhere

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
