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".

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
