paul - u got time to overlap your graph with king87s?

Converting rpm with speed makes it confusing

Google it :P There is a brilliant one for skylines on there. CBF doing it now... Ill have a play tomorrow after work ;)

When you compare the VQ25det with Variable cams to the VQ30det without, the turbo response and power seem very similar even though the engines are 500cc apart. At a guess the Vcam (vq35 cam actuator) upgrade for the RB26 would make it feel like a 2.8 - 3L in response, although it sells with a higher duration cam I assume, which may drop response back slightly again.

King87 u made 150hp@ 100km/h = winning.. awesome top end tho! But in all honesty wouldn't 2530's be better suited to a 3.o bro or 3.2/3 for the street?

Yeah it's defantly not a bad result. It's ok to drive on the street the lag isn't that bad to be honest but guess it just depends what you get use to and like.

They would be better with a 3L pushing them for sure.

Yeah I know what to expect and I will keep you all posted if and when it does let go.

Not sure what it made on 23psi it's got 25 @ 5000 RPM I will try dig up the dyno print out.

-5's for the win for street and track but agreed they could use a few more cubes behind them

On the street.

Either dial in the cam gears or go HKS V-Cam or 2.8lt or HKS V-Cam 2.8lt.

Will help with the low down.

Makes you wonder how the Mines R34 GTR is so responsive using 2530's on a 2.6ltr engine doesn't it?

It has NOTHNG at 4500 RPM. Look at the videos. It's a lag wagon if it "falls off". People bust a nut at how quickly it "revs". 5:1 or what ever they are plus the 6 speed give the illusion it's "responsive"

Between gears it's a bulldog, but you have to keep it spinning!

so your saying it's a "bulldog between gears" (which IMO is what you want) but a pig from standing start?

Not when you launch it from redline a 26 is not laggy and when your changing gears at 7.5 k there is no lag. A 26 with -5s has to be driven a certain way to be raced properly and the motor has to be built properly for this purpose to be reliable. -9s on a stock motor is a much better setup if you don't want to kill your motor.

I believe the HKS 2530's on the Mine's R34 GTR are modified.

And the RB26 ain't stock either :)

That sounds very enticing if it would feel like a 2.8-3.0. On a 2.8 with vcam and -5 that would be the ultimate setup in terms of power and response. Antz I think you need to add a vcam to your advance spec and you probably wouldn't have to worry about going a 2.8 later down the track :)

Would love to hear from anyone who has gone from standard displacement to vcam with same turbos and comment on the results

I completely agree with you on that one. I also think there is more to response than just gearing.

Having seen the Mines R34 GTR in action (in many different videos) you simply cannot conclude it has no balls under 4.5K unless you have a dyno chart to compare it with.

Yes, they are very lightly modified with the ex. housing ported (very similar to what I did with my -5s ) but that's it. Its a built 2.6 alright but still a 2.6 and not a 2.7 nor a 2.8 stroker

Look at the video where it compares it with the supra. That left hander up the hill it falls off song and it takes a bit of time to get back to its "happy zone".

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
