I didnt polish the exhaust manifolds much, too hard to reach some places and you cant really see it under the turbos and everything anyway....

I removed the head studs and used new high tensile bolts (plenty of antisieze too:P) Inside diameter of the pipes is the same as the outlets on the head. No port matching was needed:)

I did a big write up on polishing on www.calaisturbo.com just look for the editorials.

If you'd taken the trouble to read all the posts you'd see that Stimpy says he's running 10psi in the post before mine.....sounds like thats full boost ;)

i did read, there is no such thing as 'full boost'

that term is just thrown around.

maybe, Max Psi or something, or ... how MUCH psi are you running.

But if your runing say, 15psi, does that mean you are at full boost?

:) i think not.

ermmmm..well im an industrial electrician and i get around 20 bux an hour....and i put in around a years work of my free time (and some of my works time too hehehe) and yeah if you put a figure on it...yeah id say about a years wages.......SHIIIIT.

I simply went the twin turbo way because it meant bigger turbo power for basically bugger all money. Had a spare turbo, did some welding..wallah.

So approx how much do you get a year... do you work 6 hour days or 10 hour days?

But it's good to see, give the person (who cant do it themselves) and idea of just how much it would cost.

Eh ? Do you actually read what you type ?

Max PSI, Max Boost, Max bar....its all the same ;)

Stimps, all your pictures have disappeared bud :)

you read :bahaha:

Define the term full boost... lol.

Put it this way... i wask you what RPM you him 'full boost'

what is full boost? :rofl: :bahaha: :bahaha:

Thats splitting hairs a bit isnt it?

Full boost in my book is the max boost that is being run, so it may be 1 bar if you are running 1 bar, or 1.5 if you are running 1.5bar boost.

If you dont know what max boost someone is running, then yes, the terms full boost or max boost by themselves would be very arbitary.

Hi guys, from what I can tell from the previous posts, Stimps could have bought all the bits, got the satisfaction from fitting them himself, worked the saved hours in his job and put $10K in the bank. Ohh and when he sold the car he would get more for it because it would be full of "brand name" parts.

Add it up for yourself, it's frightening.

I prefer the middle route, where I do as much as I can, but when the fabrication hours look too high, I buy the parts and fit them.

Interesting thread this one

Apparantly a stock GTS has 187 kw of power, vs a GTR making 206kw of power stock. The GTS weighs less than a GTR and without doing the calc, it was told to me that the GTS-t has a better power to weight ratio.

So the GTS-t is faster, provided both are factory stock.

Provided the GTR really has 206KW... which i think we all know it doesn't... closer to 220kw. I think i speak for everyone here when i say i have never seen a bog stock GTST drag off a bog-stockGTR and win... I have seen a light-modified GTSt drag off a bog stock GTR.... and loose. And power to weight isn't everything either... there are a multitude of other factors.

such as area under the curve. If you dynoed both stock cars, I think the GTR would show more usable power area under the torque curve which in turns makes the car faster. Even tho both cars may have the same peak power output. The GTR has broader power delivery due to more turbo, and the cam profile is slightly more agressive. Correct me if im wrong but I think this is mostly the case.

Sydneykid : the only brand name parts I have installed are a malpassi fuel regulator, and Haltech E6k. I bought the plenum, and modified it slightly. Everything else is more or less other stock parts modified or home made (pipework etc) If you wanted to include them, I guess you could add a Link Lambdameter and E boost boost controller to the list too.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
