Gospel huh? Considering im making a lazy 250rwkw @ 12psi with GT-SS, and I know of at least another 10 cars making over 300rwkw (between 300-330rwkw) on 20-22psi… On various dynos to boot (more on th

Not likely mate Piggaz 2.8L stroker with all the fruit is probably at around 20psi @ 4K. Full boost on your car would be around 5-5.5K id say.

I'd hope not - my GTRS's were on full song @ 5.5krpm.

When I had -5s, the turbos were getting tickled at about 3.5krpm and pretty were in 'get up and boogy mode'.

Both examples on 2.6ltr.

Sounds about right.

That thing of Paul's is a weapon, and not the average build. It's got ALOT of rnd and tricks, all of which work. A lot of secret squirrel.

yep totally agree with you.

IMO -5s on stock 2.6 will see full boost around 4.5-5K - if you get it earlier than then I want to know.

firstly are you really running 25lb????

secondly if you are, how bout you throw a dyno chart with boost / rpm curve so we can see at what RPM your really making at full boost with -5s....then we will all know.

I'd really like to see an overlay of -9s with -5s on a dyno graph.

:)

Does anyone have this info or happy to post their graphs running -9s and another with -5s...from here, we can overlay to see the difference...would put a lot of debate to rest

There is one out at unigroup on the same car. On the dyno, they came on exactly the same but the 5'a made more grunt. However, to drive they were a TOTALLY different car!

What's wrong with running 25 psi Ants? :P

LOL....I was wondering when you were gonna say somethin.......aside from being a ship load of boost nothin really just curious.....about how long an engine would last if predominately driven at that boost level :glare:

That is odd Paul. Dyno shows that they huy full boost at same rpm?

Ill try and get the sheet. Or it could have been the power low end was the same but boost levels were pushed to the right a tad on the 5's.

Leave it with me.

I spose the tune would have a massive part in this. Mine lasted 7 years with anything upto 2.0 bar shoved down it... Only died because the oil pump had a hissy fit.

Mate I watched a built 26 with -5's and poncams on a dyno for a good hour and full boost was by 5000 and it went to 345kw iirc. No chance of getting -5's in by 4 on a 2.6L ;)

IMO -5s on stock 2.6 will see full boost around 4.5-5K - if you get it earlier than then I want to know.

I know Paul.....I know. I'm just conservative and want to have an engine tuned to last as well (I will certainly not push my advance spec beyond 25psi). Your car is insane and would of loved to have a 2.8ltr with similar mods to yours :)

Keen to see those graphs though.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
