Me too. Although, unlike Hanaldo.....mine is actually running. Sorry.

An accurate observation :D

Mind you, 34GeeTeeTee and I probably have the most accurate power figures on here at the moment :P Check sig :glare:

Congrats on the result. making my self wanting E85 for me SS2 now :woot: .

Harry and Georger34 is also on a Neo motor. Both of them are on a G3 high flow doing 280ish.

G3 high flow or ATR43 G3?? I can't keep up with all these high flows... :/

Or you can just get him to run a high mount manifold with a 50mm gate. that will unlock another 50kws from it. It would also like the taste of some sweet E85 fuel and couple psi of extra boost. using E85, high mount and external gate. That turbo will be able to make 350rwkws+.

i was just after some dyno sheets to see what others are making, its hard to keep track of who has what in this thread. as said earlier stao has offered me an exchange and im trying to decide if its worth getting another tune and going bigger, my current thought is ive wasted alot of money to only make stock power. but in saying that if my fuel consumption gets any worse il need to buy a new car to drive to work.

so hanaldo, gtsboy and 34geeteetee, are you happy with your setups? whats your fuel consumption like? running rwd or awd?

Mine is recent transplant into R32 GTSt. 4.11 gearing also, but less weight than R34. Running std tune on Nistune board until it goes through Regency (soon), then will receive boost and a tune. No std boost solenoid installed, just wastegate, so only runs about 5 psi, peaking at 7 psi when really loaded up.

Mods include a good split dump and 3" exhaust and cat, FMIC, cold air and steel inlet. All adds up to mean there's little restriction in and out, so it will probably be making stock power or a bit more.

RB20DET before was making 170rwkW on same inlet and exhaust and 14 psi with Nistune (and 4.3 gears). Used 13-14 l/100km. Neo is using 11.5 - 12.5 l/100km in exactly the same horrible Adelaide traffic commute.

The Neo torque is dramatically better than the RB20. Can surf it around in 4th or 5th at low speeds that would have needed 2nd or 3rd to make forward progress before. Generally it is nicer to drive 2 gears up from where it was before.

its a bit rough to say stock power when your making a solid near 240kw

How much fuel your car uses depends on how the car gets driven. Just go easy on the throttle for better millage, if you go heavy, car drinks more fuel. On high way cruise the car reads of O2 feedbacks, realistically it makes no difference in fuel consumption unless the tune is too rich. My car's using more fuel after all those mods becuase I can't help my self not thrashing it.

Your on the money georgesR34. Its all how u drive it. Mind you get the tuner to make it a tad leaner off boost and low loads. Essentially the bigger the Turbo the more often u will be off boost under daily driving duties. Hence using less fuel. I had a car tuned and got better than stock fuel economy stuffing around with AFR's etc. Out of a r32 rb25 with 260kwatw it achieved 500km per tank. I think 63L (correct me if I'm wrong).

Well I'll let you know once it has been set up properly. To be honest I wasn't 100% happy with the setup how it was before, it was a bit laggy and you could question the power figure based on the dyno it was tuned on. But having said that, I don't think it is fair to judge the turbo when I've got known issues with the ECU.

I've taken the time and spent the money to try to get my setup working 110% now, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing how it goes this time. Eventually :glare:

*EDIT* Forgot about fuel economy. That was probably the one thing I was very happy with. I was getting 550-600kms to a tank driving around town. 500 if I did a lot of highway driving. Didn't make much difference whether I boosted around a lot or just putted around, but then when I'm over the speed limit in most places at the top of second, I don't spend a lot of time on boost. On the track I was getting about 200kms to a tank :P

Looks like I might talk to stao a bit more then.

I'm basing my car on its fuel consumption before and after the turbo replacement. And the power/speed I'm basing on a stretch of road that I regularly open my car up on. Currently its about 50-70 meters slower then before my turbo spat the rear wheel. But that could be bad fuel.

Fuel consumption has absolutely nothing to do with the turbo though. If you're getting bad fuel economy or good fuel economy, it's all in the tune.

As for being a bit slower, that doesn't mean you're not making the power. I used to (when I had the stock turbo and the G2 turbo) be able to get to the top of third down this one road and just have time to get on the anchors and pull up before the corner. These days I'm only just onto full boost before I gotta pull up.

My testing starts at 100km/h so my car is deffinately on boost. Il try it again next week on the next tank of fuel and see how it goes. If stao and I can work something out it won't matter anyway.

Hanaldo its not just in the tune. It has alot to do with the driver.

Also a laggy turbo normally helps fuel economy as the tune can be ran at stoich in more of the driving around part of the map.

The mystro re-tuned the car.

21U High-flow. Now on S15 Injectors, Z32 and United E85. My old ass fuel pump from jland (tomei/nismo) is a little sick and needs a holiday, have a replacement on the way.

Green = BP98

Blue = United E85

Good result mate, now you won't need to upgrade to the SS1PU...yet...

Super responsive looking too, yours would make an awesome street car with that sort of response.

I noticed you haven't upped the boost for E85...did you try? I know Ethanol is good for timing, I thought it was good at keeping temperatures down too, allowing you to feed more boost (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Like Arthur said, I could be heading just shy of 300. Clutch going in this week...soon as that's done it's toon time.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
