scotty mines the same, went 2 the drags last weekend, cold Friday night, lining up guy behind me had headlights on and all it was, was steam haha... all I know is I pulled manifold n turbo off yesterday and inside manifold turbine housing and dumpipe is crystal clean, but also is all brown n rusty.

Stao i thought it would be best to ask you as you have your finger in the pie so to speak.

I see all these copy billet GTX 3540 and GTX4202 comp wheels floating around on ebay/kando and other

sites lately...Are they a straight copy of the real deal and any good?

eg, not just a straight copy of standard style 3540 etc, but done in billet, so no real difference except for maybe weight

cheers

Yeh I remember reading the article in HPI magazine about the condensation of E85 and how much more critical it is to do regular oil changes, the theory being that the same condensation that builds up in the exhaust also builds up in the combustion chamber and then finds its way back down into the sump, contaminating the oil quite quickly.

Can't wait to join the club :D

Hurry up already!

It does end up in the oil, but generally the oil is hot enough to evaporate it out. My catch can fills quickly with ethanol/water vapour over winter.

The oil would barely be affected unless you do short cold start runs continuously.

I don't really know much about other wheels. The SS wheels has been developed through time from data collected from many dyno runs. Like a mm difference in the trim of hub, tip height, wheel crop or degree in the blade angle, they all contributes to a small change in the dyno reading (that's also why a hub dyno is an accurate tool, it can map the tinniest changes made from a small alteration) , and from there I could work out the best combination of a good performance wheel for a Rb25det.

Once a base wheel is worked out its just a matter of extending/retracting wheel length using trail data to work out the size required for a particular power level.

Definitely lots of progresses lately. Can't wait to get my PU .82 high flow upgraded to VNT.

And post lots of feedback :D

HG billet T67+VNT would be ballistic! The HG 25G billet wheel seemed to make the T67 hit target with less boost and less revs. I can only imagine what the VNT would add to the mix.

The two T67s had very similar response while our billet version made 40kws more then the Kando item. We can certainly do the upgrade if you have a Kando T67 item.

Either way, I think the SL2 + 25G type of turbochargers might be good for certain tracks or drags that response don't bother too much. The standard SS2 which made 20kws more then the Kando T67 and 15kws lesser then our SL25.5, is a much of a better and smoother turbo to use on road.

While the VNT version of that is even more responsive then a 21U high flow while maxing out at 385rwkws. It is probably the best road turbo there is.

Stao what would you expect a set of bush bearing GT2560 highflows in Z32 housings to make? I got a set here with the forged bottom end that i bought and was wondering if they are capable of over 300rwkw on 98.

For the 300zx turbocharger high flows, I've seen 320rwkws on pump 98 so far. that is from Benny's blue Z on the 300ZX forums. those are capable of doing around the 360rwkws mark with supporting mods.

I've had few CHRA options to high flow the 300zx turbos, how ever the smaller ones didn't shown an great difference in terms of response, while the largest combination I've used (ATR28G1) made the most power. So I stick only to this profile now.

Bennys high flows where using the ATR28G1 CHRAs, Which are 2860rs equivalent. We can run FNT nozzle in those housings and bring up the down low response, while Billet SS1 and 1.5 are also now options to consider, since none of them where invented during my time with the 300zx.

Best is highflowing them with a pair of stock manual turbos that has .63 T2x rear housings.

Also VNT option is now available. I've only released it with SS chras, and for standard Engine under comparison it worked best with the SS2 CHRA. Price starting from $2000 with optional roller bearing centers for now.

I Will be into VNT Type B developments for the next few weeks. It will be an expansive and time consuming project to build, how ever for some thing makes 20psi by 3500RPM and 400rwkws+ is welly worth the efforts.

Engine wise the Evo 7 (GSR) was a carry over from the Evo 6 but they changed (I think) to hollow camshafts and added EGR .

Turbo wise the larger heavier Cedia based E7 went back from the Evo 6s 10.5 cm turbine housing to a similar 9.8cm sized one with the cold side unchanged . The std torque peak moved up noticably 500 odd revs from Evo 6 to 7 and I think they went looking for earlier turbo response to try and get some mid range squirt back . Also they would have been struggling with emissions in that 2001 era hence EGR etc .

The 8MR and 9s also use the 10.5cm turbine housing but its not the same as the E6 10.5 , instead of two holes and two wastegate flat valves the later one has double "D" shaped outlets mirror imaged to form a circle and uses one large waste gate disc/flat valve . Many people consider them to be better than the E6 one and you'd think Mitsy changed them to get better results . The thing is Mitsy kept increasing std boost levels right through the Evo Lancer models up to I think 21 psi with the 10s . People say the early 10.5s can crack over time and replacing them fixes some boost issues caused by the leaking gates .

Mark at GT Pumps used to sell an aftermarket 10.8cm direct replacement turbine housing which people like . I've been in a 7 with one of these on a std turbo with the IC pipe changed plus the exhaust after cast dump and E70 , its a bit of a weapon for a roadie and drives nicely as you'd expect with std valves cams etc .

A .

Haven't read all the pages but would one of your Hi flows be very close to the dimensions of a HTA3076 or that comp wheel be replicable in billet? be interesting to see a HTA3076 in VNT

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
