Just realized they said there was boost control issues so I guess that would be affecting power up top a fair bit as well.

If it was holding boost to redline I still think itd be 250+

I wouldn't expect it to be hitting 270kw on 20 psi with a 15+ yr old motor.

Wait for the charts gentlemen, no point speculating over power figures or what's responsible for them until we see what the engine is doing. As JEZ said, there's probably a bit more in the turbo if they take the time to sort out boost etc. but for now Kasko should be pretty happy and he looks to be.

Very smooth. Boost tapering off = another 10-20 if you can get it to hold without the engine pinging?

Full boost looks like high 3000's / 4000rpm, I'm guessing.

Need ebc to hold boost up top. I'm testing a little mod this weekend and hopefully that changes the boost behavior up to.

Already got a profec b spec 2 installed in it

This didnt help with the tapper.

Seems the actuators are not up to holding the 20psi consistently

Also as DVS said it seems my clutch is either on its way out or needs a bit of adjusting/bleeding

The car feels phenomenal when it comes onto boost and spins 2nd without hesitation cruising.

Next step is a CAI and a box for the pod filter might help a little.

We did back to back power runs on a safer tune and only lost around 1-2kw

Is that same turbo you have birds?

Yeah man.

How bout that! :)

What size tyres you running?

Assuming it's 4.11 diff ratio and normalish sized tyres is nearly at full boost at 4000rpm with 180rwkw

Not exactly comparable with a GT-RS

180rwkw @ 4000rpm IS comparable to a GTRS, I agree.

Forget about where it hits full boost etc etc. The power @ RPM will tell you what its doing flow wise, which is what counts.

Every decent turbo makes 180-200rwkw at 4000rpm on a RB25... It can be a T67, 3071, 3076 or HKS 2835pros, they all do it

It's what happens before and after then that makes the turbos different!

Yeah, so doesnt a GTRS do roughly 180-200 @4000 and end up around 250 by 7000? LOL

So its more or less hitting GTRS benchmarks, OK glad we agree. :whistling:

If the turbo can hold boost for the upper RPM, there's no reason it can't make 260-270 IMO, so no it's not comparable to a GTRS...it's slightly better :P

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
