Hey i am about to put twin turbos back on my car after a problem with the single turbo conversion and the pits not passing it, now i cant decide between the 2860r - 5's or the -7's. I have a single gt3076r on the car now and its just not got enough power, its only making mid 300hp range though, im hoping for around the 420hp range or so with reasonable boost levels and not too much lag. I dare say the 3076r is too responsive, though it is a 3L bottom end, but im thinking of going back to the complete rb26 engine setup.

Now could any perth guys with preferably stock cammed rb26 take me for a 2 min drive to see how the lag is on the 2 different setups. Im mainly interested in the feel of the -5's, i have already been in a car with the -7s (though it was with poncams and built motor). Even a spin in a -7 equipped car with stock cams would be ideal, as i dont want to upgrade cams in near future.

I live in the northern suburbs (Joondalup area) but am willing to meet anywhere really, give me a PM if someone can possibly help.

cheers

Rev210 - its the 0.8 housing

Paul the tune is only a quick one (safe for the 150 000km old bottom end) and im trying to get the car over the pits at moment, its not on the good motor either, just a stock internal rb30 bottom end and stock rb26 head, motors not the healthiest lol, needs new rings, but i tried to get through the engineer with the single turbo and he said i need a 5 gas analyser test to pass, dont think its gonna happen, but if i go back to twins then i dont need the test. I have only drivin the gt3076r setup twice (too and from engineers on permits, because car is unregoed). Its running 17psi and a cheap used cat just to pass, also plumbed in screamer too, it should be making 400hp atleast on this boost but i left it safe as im just focusing on passing the rego stuff at moment. I just feel like its on boost at cruising speed which wont help my fuel economy etc, it whistles and makes so much spooling noise under 2000rpm it is abit much for me. I am used to the t04z power/lag so i have a different perception to alot of other people of power/lag haha.

Have u swapped the Z for the 3076r? or are u talking about your old engine setup from years ago? i assume your running the 1.0 housing for that power?

so its now either the -5's or -7's, and the weight of the car makes under 400hp feel like a slug to be honest, i need atleast 400hp to be slightly happy :D Im even stuck whether to keep the 3L or go back to the 2.6L bottom end as well. decisions decisions :(

dont bother...just get guilt-toy to fly over and tune what you have...he can tune anything that will pass emissions.

Yeah, swapped the Z for the 76r, trying to get more response for the track. Running the .82 housing.

I disagree, I have SS's (9's) which are slightly bigger than 7's and smaller than 5's.

I am spewing I went with the SS's. 400 rwhp (true hp on X-speed's dyno) is about the max from these things and I have all the supporting mods (everything!!)

Go the 5's, the lag will not be noticeable you will be fully on by 4,500 and let's face it, are you ever really going to be squirting below that anyway? at least with 5's it leaves you with plenty to go later on if you so choose (which you know you will)

5's all the way, or alternatively, buy the 5's and ill swap you my 500 km old SS's (installed new by X-speed and only running 17psi) plus $500

Hey Guilt-Toy, the test i am not 100% sure on the exact details i sort of gave up the idea when the engineer mentioned it lol. He reckons the DPI said as of the 1st of Feb, i will require to do the IM240 (i think thats the name) test, but if i get in before then i only need the 5 gas one, i only got told yesterday arvo so i havent got time.

I might try and pass the pits without any mention of the turbo and see what happens, i can always throw the stock twins back on and pass and then put the gt30 back on, i just think its too slow at moment and was thinking recently to swap up to the gt3540 instead, but i havent even sorted this tune yet its all relying on the rego being sorted.

I am running an Autronic SMC ecu and stock gtr injectors, stock cams so it shouldnt be that extreme, i got a cat on it too, its not a compliance cat though.

This is the qoute from an engineer friend who contacted the DPI about the 5 gas test details....

"alternative to a full IM240 test is a 5gas analysis before and after test (5gas is HC, Co, CO2, 02 & NOx). You would need to find a standard car to test on the dyno at two or three load points then compare with measurements from your modified car. I can't see this being particularly economical, hire of a 5gas analyser, dyno and tuner to get your car to comply would be a headache, not to mention separate hire of a dyno and gas analyser to test the standard vehicle if you can find someone with a standard rb26. That said if you were able to pass these tests then you'd be in a very good position".

how hard would that be to tune and pass ?

stop convincing him to keep the single... he needs to buy something else so i can buy the 3076R off him. :yes:

lol i might just get engineer to sign everything off except the turbo and go to pits and see what happens. Even if the car doesnt pass ill throw the twins back on and get it through and then put gt30 back on after and when cops pull me over i show engineer permits for all the other stuff (lots of permits) and i doubt they will sticker it. I gotta try something after getting everything running nicely and finished. Gt35 will be on the cards im sure if single is passable :)

Thats a fair way short of their potential.

I bought a motor with a set of those that made over 400rwhp completely stock (and with a little wear) and at only 1 bar , on x-speed's dyno

go to the wreckers, and get one or 2 late model cat converters, im thinking 2006model or newer. if you run 2 of them then you should pass that easy test. even if you have one only try get a 2007 or 2008 model cat if you only have one, also run the car on e10 if you can.

what year model is this car? to tune for emissions you need a dyno and a 5gas which will need to be done for a IM240 test.

What am i missing here, that turbo is rated to 525hp. How is it possible for you to get that power? I have the seame turbo on my rb25 and i am getting 390rwhp

Or is there just that much extra power in the rb26 head with 3l bottom end?

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
