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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
