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?

Didn't answer the question.. why the doubt? I am offended.

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.

yep totally agree with you.

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.

    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
