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.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
