haha dammit, hoping nobody checked the new SAU jumpers out, theyre pretty comfy but the models need work lol

for everybody scratching there heads check out the NSW section and look at the NEW Merchandise

Sarge's car made 244kw at ADVAN performance on 11psi, then 1st run on our dyno it barely made over 200 from memory, after we had tuned it it made 244kw on 19psi, there is something holding this car back, according to Tao the intake pipe on this car is a 60kw restriction, Sarge is in the process of making a new intake pipe but has run into major issue's since doing so, looks like his car will need a full retune due to the different position of the AFM.

Harey what makes you say the dyno i use is a happy dyno? that is actually quite funny cause if it was a happy dyno than everycar i have tuned would be making unrealistic numbers which they don't. even funnier that before we started tuning Dave's car there was a comment made about atleast 1 person on SAU saying i bet its a happy dyno.

So back on topic, Tao how's things going

I never said you had a happy dyno?? All I was saying is if you are using a different ramp rate then the full boost @ X rpm will be different. In this very thread Stao did back to back tests and proved this.

Using the same dyno and tuner as Stao uses, I have never seen a HKS2835 Pro S hit full boost before 3500rpm using a 9 second ramp rate. Just trying to compare apples with apples.

Come one Sarge fix ya issues :P

BTW these discussions are more on topic then SAU jumpers or zombies :whistling:

I would rather a longer ramp rate to better match the car being on the road.

Eg from 1500rpm to 7500rpm in 4th is going to take longer than 9secs when you are on the road

Is pulling from 1500rpm really indicative of on road performance? The only time I pull from 1500rpm is when I'm going to shift at 3000rpm. If I want the car to get up, I'll give it a gear or two and be pulling from 4k or more.

I'm not particularly concerned about performance off boost or below about 4000rpm (as long as it's not dire).

It it absolutely indicative on on road performance in my book...you dont drive every where like its a race track, so being able to pull cleanly away from low revs and big throttle is important.

And to me is a key difference between a good tune and a crap tune...even if they both make the same peak power

Its also the key difference between a decent and crap turbo...

Well that just says a lot about the performance of my ss-1 then doesn't it. :(

A tune of arse aside (which is obvious so a 9 or 12 second pull is irrelevant), not driving like you're on a track supports my belief. If you're driving around "normally", assuming the car isn't running a T88 or the tune isn't borked to hell, it's not really important what it's like pulling from 1500rpm. How many times do you have WOT at 1500rpm? if it's often, then you're doing it wrong.

If I am WOT, then it's pretty unlikely that I'm going to wait around for 2000rpm for my turbo to come on the boil. I'm going to give it a gear or two and get it into lots of boost and then go WOT.

Ok then if the part about the happy dyno wasn't aimed at me then its all good.

In relation to ramp rates, i used the same ramp rates on dave's car as i did dynafits ss1.5 and sarge's ss2 so tht would have to be the best comparison seeing as its the same dyno. And its not in victoria or wa lol :P

So if we can dig up sarge's and dynafit's sheets we can hv a looksy. Once sarge has his car up and running again i will do a full tune on it.

Harey i know ur not a believer but come for a drive and get dave to take u for a run. His car really does do exactly what he says.

Yes yes :)

but sometimes you dont have time to go back a couple of pegs...eg merging.

There are huge torque gains to be had by spending an hour or so on the off boost low rev area of them map.

I.e when I get the JZ tuned with the t78...I'll need to spend ages on the off boost part to make as much torque as possible for the around town drive.

Not sure how relevant this is but Trent gave me a simple way of thinking about the ramp rates, 9 second ramp rate is similar to having 1-2 people in the car, 12+ second ramp rate is like having 3-4 people.

Zeb the only thing u need to be aware of is advancing the timing in off boost area can make the boost laggier. Sometimes u need to use less timing to get the turbo spooling which promotes power, even a few psi is going to help.

Any chance of posting up some dyno sheets directly comparing the 3 turbos on the same screen?

I am sure Dave's car is a beast! My point was that there are other turbos that can do similar. Is Dave's car with the sexy shiny engine bay? Thats another thing that car has aftermarket plenum etc etc, not a true comparison to bolting a turbo on with a new exhaust, afm and injectors. The 2 Hypergear turbos you have tuned dont necessarily show what they are capable of either. Thats all I am saying is I would love to see a direct comparison.

Yes I am bitter that I cant afford a setup like Dave's :worship:

Isn't it more like driving in 1st gear, or say 4th gear? Or say driving up a really steep hill?

Yeah thats the one :blush: Just dont tell the wifey how much i have spent!!!

Thread with dyno sheet can be foundhere

We are going to tidy it up a bit in the next few weeks, time got away from us on the friday sorting out some other issues

Yeah, Its a bit of a catch 22 lol

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
