Run your ball bearing cores with your new billet TD06s, I'm sure that will turn plenty of eye balls.

That can be done. As long as it increases response without the singing the Dingo bell song like Trent's 2530 then its good :P .

I hope this is the right place and apologies if this is covered in a FAQ somewhere, I couldn't find it. Btw the car is an R34 GTT auto with a stock turbo and Nistune, currently at 200rwkw.

With a power goal of 250-280rwkw, and good response rather than outright peak power, what's the difference between an SS2 highflow and a comparable ATR bolt-on turbo? Pricewise they seem roughly on par and the supporting mods would be very similar, is that correct?

Since its a OP6 R34 turbocharger, standard high flow will get you goal with pretty decent response.

Thanks Stao. Would one of the ATR profiles offer a comparable response? Just in case I wanted to keep the OEM turbo as is for putting things back to stock later.

For this power range on the SS1PU would be a pretty responsive turbo for your application. That generally makes around the 260rwkws mark in a manual, I'm unsure the Auto/Manual trans lose as I haven't had results of it from a Auto yet.

Alternatively you can use the SS2 it is not as responsive, but still reasonable, and I've had two customers making 260rwkws on autos. Reference:

This is another interesting point. J-Rod made 340rwhp with his G2.5, and I beat him in all the runs we had.

J-Rod. Get your car to Kwinana, I want a comparison! :P

I actually went to the drags as soon as i got my car tuned.

I dont have the sheets anymore but i believe i was getting a poor 14.4-14.6 (not 13)

I really suck at launching from stand still.

( might not even be that it was a while ago )

Once i get my 255s on the back im going to goto the drags to practice launching for race wars :)

What sort of trap speeds were you getting?

any one tried to launch in 2nd gear. wouldn't get get rid of the wheel spin in fist and saves gear shifting time?

Puts a lot of strain on the clutch so make sure you have a good one before doing this

I was walking the car off the line with about 3, 000rpm and was a long way from a launch as I was protecting my clutch and gearbox. Even with 2.3-2.5 60ft times I was still running between 12.9 and 13.5 with 234rwkws from a torqueless RB20. My car is 1335kg plus driver with 15l of fuel.

Why are so many cars with 250rwkws in the mid 14s? Is it the way they make power or torque falls off?!?!?

Basically if you launch hard enough so you dont bog down you light up the tyres hard and if you dont light them up youll bog so doesnt really help.

I can't imagine how people are ending up with those times, as I'd mentioned earlier I let a mate drive my car before it was tuned for more boost (probably making 260-270kw @ hubs with a GT3076R at the time) for a single run after I had pretty much hit a wall for the day at mid/high 12s - he had a stock turbo R33 GTS25t and ended up launching at too low rpm, completely bogged then when it hit full boost it lost traction/revved out like a demon compared to a stock turbo then he had a bit of a freakout going for second and ended up in neutral, took a couple of shots and third then went on his way. That lot still resulted in a 14 flat, which was the only 14 the car ran with the GT30R on it in the 4 years it was on the car.

The rest were 12s, low 13s and the occasional mid/high 13 I did on complete fails - I am curious as to why these are resulting in average times and lower-than-expected trap speeds. Are they internally gated? Perhaps they don't build as much boost on the road as on the dyno or something - like the boost builds more lazily or something?

Mine is externally gated, I believe Luke's is still internal.

Yep, mine is internal with a hybrid lowmount manifold and tomei 256 poncams . watching it lately its making 17psi by 4500 and holding to redline (7500 i think).

You need an SS2. I'm hitting 17 around 3500

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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.
