Just to add a bit of fuel to the fire! I had a bit of time up my sleave and was bored so I made up this graph. Now it's not perfect, there are different dynos, different boost levels, different correction methods etc etc but it gives a decent indication of levels of response and overall power on stock stroke rb26's.

Green Line - 2.6L Garrett T04Z 0.84 (24psi) on modded china manifold, HKS 272 10.25 cams and decent head porting

Yellow Line - 2.6L Garrett T04Z 0.84 Split (24psi) on 6-boost split manifold, JUN 272 10.5 cams and no head work

Black Line - 2.6L Garrett 3582R 0.8x T4 rear (28psi) on china manifold, TOMEI 270 10.8mm cams and no head work

Blue Line - 2.6L (the motor from the yellow line) but with Garrett 2860-5’s (24psi) on 6-boost low mount manifolds

Pink Line - 2.6L with HKS GT-SS (18psi) on Tomei manifolds with Tomei 260 9.15 cams with head porting

Anyways a picture tells a 1000 words (sorry about my shocking excel skills)

I'm not trying to discredit what your trying to do - but different dynos, different days, different strapping methods, different setup methods, possibly different rolling diameters, different drive ratios, different tunes, different cam timing, different ramp rates, different tyre temps - the list is endless!!!

I can tell you from expereince that on a Dyno dynamics dyno that even getting consistant runs from day to day with no modifications performed is a task in it self. I usually get within +/-2.5% of the previous runs with the methods we employ with no changes. You need to get all these cars on the same dyno within 2hours of each other for real comparison. I would get the tacho numbers precisely calibrated so you can compare in rpm not vehicle speed.

Dude, everyone knows that (it was only a matter of time before someone jumped on it), it is just a rough comparison for people to see, we are on a forum not in a laboratory.

Keep the comparisons going, can you put "twoogle" on there, I am sure Paul won't mind.

I just dont see the point in comparing when for example there could be the difference between the 35R run on a happy dyno when compared to a TO4Z strapped tightly on a low dyno and they both read the same power now is that to say that the 35R is the same size as the TO4Z???

Thats why I hate these threads becasue the results are arbitary!!!

i said pretty much exactly the same thing in the original post... i have accounted for a few things you have listed though

tacho numbers are directly proportional to rpm... this graph actually translates 2 graphs from rpm to road speed, i can repost it in rpm if you like!!!

i cant find a twoogle graph in rpm and the ones based on road speed seem to be in 3rd gear (he has a os mission so i dont know the road speed/rpm relationship)

Yes but different cars may have different diff gears and tyre rolling diameter so while 4th gear is usually 1:1 the rpm/rev ratio may be different car to car.

What is the purpose of this thread??? Are you comparing turbos or engine setups or what?

all 3 cars done by road speed were r32 gtr's with 1:1 4th gear ratios, 4.11 diff gears and very similar rolling diameters (2 exactly the same) the other 2 cars were on rpm... i know the rpm relationship between speed and rpm in the r32 gtr's so i can translate from there...

turbos comparison mainly, most the motors have very similar specs

the red line i added is a rb27 with t04z on 22psi and pump fuel and only revved out to 6800rpm roughly on that run (misfiring above that so we called it quits), usual redline is 9000-9500rpm. This dyno reads very low too compared to some of those numbers on there :angry:

Edited by unique1

looking at the graph however inaccurate it may be the yellow line twin scroll t04z setup looks the bees knees compared to the others. same response as the 2860's and loads more top end.

I still can't decide what turbo choice to go for with my new build. 26/30 twins or twin scroll is the question ;) response is the main goal but i wouldn't mind getting 350kw+ i was origionally thinking of slapping some ss's on there. be nice to have the cash and your own dyno to change them all over and pick :happy:

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
