No not your motor's dyno graph Paul, just cam duration change to Marko's one :cool:

lol...interesting comparison though...just shows a basic 26...is just as good as a big $$ 30...and makes earlier torque but doesn't hold on as long. The graphs are very similar with Marko's pipping mine by 0.1KW

I thought you may have been hinting at your engine...don't you run smaller cams Steve ?

Thats right, I used 270IN and EX with 10.25mm for the current one. But the cams were never dialled in during the tune as we were pressed for time, that aside it would be great if someone could overlay Marko's graph and this graph;

Note this is using the same size turbos (im pretty sure marko has the .6 -10's meaning 400hp each, im on HKSGTRS's) and my head is only cleaned up, its not "ported"

Down low its pretty much the same, but look at the midrange and up top, also lower boost

stevo, if i switched them there is labour + another tune = $

your above graph is based on a 2 wheel dyno whereas mine is a 4 wheel dyno which may also change the results (i.e. jim @ crd advised my power level on 2 wheels on his dyno is 445rwkw)

the bigger the better with rb30's as i was informed!

to be fair yours still has a little way to go though Marko and i was running more boost (27psi)...why do you think im building one.

can't wait to see what it does with my head, turbo and plenunm on one drinking methanol at 35psi. :P

a direct comparison between my current bottom end and the 30 after running mine in with pump shall be interesting...my turbo should really come into its own. I feel that 30 bottom ends do have their application, but im far from convinced they are the be all and end all.

i spent over 20k building my engine BUT i sold off all of my other bits from the rb26, end of the day the whole thing cost me approx 13k (includes tuning cost @ $1500)

best 13k ive spent to date :P

As Bakes says...if it makes you happy its a bargain.

how much do you get back from Wayne Swan for the engine ?

no need. :) you can see if it peaks at 8500 that each line is 3,4,5,6,7,8000rpm. :ninja:

it's interesting that my 26 with headwork, small cams and GT-SS made 160kw @ 4,000 vs 150kw on the 30 with GTRS, and at 4,400rpm mine was 210kw vs 180kw for your 30. at 5,000rpm i'm making 250kw and you have 230kw. at 5,600 I have 275kw and you are now just overtaking me with 290kw (also getting very near your peak torque). and then at 6,000rpm I have just 290kw you have 330kw and from 6,000rpm to 8,000rpm you run away with the bigger turbos and make another 100kw.

it's interesting though that the 3 litre doesn't make the GT-RS turbos as responsive as people make out. there is still a lag price to pay when you see that a little ol 2.6 with the baby GT-SS are about even with it up to 6,000rpm. having said that mine was only running about 17 or 18psi at the time as I was being a bit conservative, it's now running 23psi in the hands of it's new owner and I think with that more boost, and it coming on sooner it would give the RB30/GT-RS combo a good fight up to 6,000rpm and would probably feel more responsive/torqueier down low on the street. the top end power can't be denied though!!! and when it comes down to it they are two different dynos so it's hard to really get any truth from it, but it is still interesting. I've no doubt though on the whole the 30/RS combo is faster. but i'm not 100% sure which would be the better street car/hills thrasher... ?

no need. :ninja: you can see if it peaks at 8500 that each line is 3,4,5,6,7,8000rpm. :ninja:

Well see that's i would think myself at first glance... However i don't want to assume just yet because as it was asked earlier...

Have I got it right, max torque is around 4,250 rpm and max horsepower is around 6,100 rpm and it makes less than 50 rwkw at 3,000 rpm? Or is my maths totally screwed up?

So 3 of us are thinking that is how the axis is, so indeed only making 50rwkw @ 3,000rpm (by what we think)

However Marko then came along and said...

your calculations are not right, would be if it was a rgv250

Which basically says none of us are correct in our assumption of the bottom axis

So that would almost certainly mean its not the scale we are thinking :ninja:

Hence I'm trying to find out by actually getting the bottom axis to be sure :)

i'll post another graph tonight from my other pc which includes the km/h axis (it is from 0-200km/h)

i had an rb26 with gtss's & i can tell you that the difference in torque is massive between the rb26/gtss v's rb30/-10s :)

chalk & cheese

well he himself said it was revv'd to 8,5000 not 9,000rpm. so assuming he's telling the truth then peak TORQUE is about 6,500rpm and peak power is about 8,000rpm and held to the 8,500rpm limit. not sure where gary got the 4,250rpm for peak torque if it's being revv'd to 8,500rpm?!

this well considering i pulled an 11.1 @ 129mph with my rb26/gtss setup which had 312awkw...this setup will smash a 10!

agree with that, but not all RB26/GT-SS set-ups are the same.... :)

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
