The graph stevo is talking about, I assume it's that one you drew up haha

Yea good robo, made 375rwkw at 18 psi

Gonna up the boost, bigger feul system, e85 and play with gears...

See what happens, out on AACAP ATM :D

??? U referring to my setup here???

I tried to hold my tongue, I really did. It's almost comical hearing what people think will get them past the 400 mark from people that have never done it before. It is NOT as simple as bolting 2530's on (as an example as they're spoken about recently). If it was, everyone would've done it. Look at how many people get -5's with 24psi and get results around the 330-350 mark as another example.

Choosing parts for your car is not a matter of picking the shiniest parts from the biggest and most well known shops, it's about choosing the parts for their own individual merits. Example; There's one bloke going around with a built engine in his GTR who keeps on saying it makes heaps of HP and would be uncatchable but then you overlay the curves and it's as if he is using an RB20 ffs and the comparison curve is a bent 8. He has all these fancy brand name parts with a "bigger is better" attitude, and most of them are junk like split dump pipes, massive duration cams (because the idle sounds fully hectik bro and pullz da bitchez), drag size intercooler and the car has never been to any kind of track.

It's similar to the HKS GT-RS lover crowd who were arguing in some other thread recently (may have even been this one).......newsflash for you...............those turbos SUCK!!! Im able to say that because I've had them and while the curve was acceptable with my cams and engine the choofing and throttle response was certainly NOT acceptable, there is better out there! Open your damn eyes! My setup now MURDERS the GT-RS setup, I haven't found a GT-RS curve that's close to it eventhough the HKS GT-RS's are the best turbos known to man according to some, and even one of the most well known motors from Victoria's curve is behind the current setup on mine even with his variable cam as an advantage. But does that mean it's a good setup - in my eyes yes, but in other peoples eyes no because it doesnt have a huge aftermarket parts list.

Ash, Scott and Dan make very valid points about using the stock hardware gets good results and with a few parts added here and there you can have a total weapon. One of the seemingly most overlooked parts is intercooler piping. So often at meets/trackdays/workshops you see a car where the piping looks like it's been done by a 5 year old trying to put lego together, mismatched sizing included. That sort of thing makes a HUGE difference to how the car drives but for most it's a close enough is good enough situation.

Maybe I've lost my mind and care too much about the "small details" as designated by others, and that's probably the case! But IMO the small details are what separate it from the rest of the cars out there with big numbers (dyno queens) and the actually big hp AND fast cars (point to point). Anyone who's been in it or seen the graph will already know this.

Here ends my rant.

Ah that one. Yeah it's pretty funny. It's around here somewhere haha

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

What size cams did you have in that old setup? 280/10.5's? I was making 80kw more at 4000 rpm with stock cams, no porting and GTRS's. I still agree with you that they aren't a great turbo though. I can't help but think HKS originally intended them to be used on drag only cars that wanted low mounts to pass as a standard looking.

What have you built Steve? Tell us of this new setup!

The cams were 270's @ 10.25 Ian.

Why are ID2000's $1500.00.

This is $250.00 per injector, isn't that a bit:

2-Fast-2-Furious-ludacris-4467869-360-228.jpg ?

I mean, I can pay this if I have to, but really ?

It means I will have to stop buying skitzmix and maximum base compilations for a few weeks.

Run the risk of ending up with a single injector flowing 7% extra at low duty cycles. ID weed out this problem.

Just so we're all clear it's not all about flowing within a certain percentage of each other...

Spray pattern is another biggie... Probably why the ID2000s idle better then a much smaller injector such as the sard 800s

Spray pattern makes a big difference to atomization of the fuel ie better atomization = better combustion and more power

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
