nismoid is going off 98 you are going off E85. whats the point of the argument?

I'm not sure he has one to be honest. He knows full well you wont make the figure on PULP, the ole smoke and mirrors trick perhaps?

PULP is what everyone talks about with regards to fuel, power output and requirements unless otherwise advised.

If someone makes more power on a specific fuel (which happens), it is clearly stated.

Everyone knows E85 is not a commonly accepted fuel, it is no different to any other boutique fuel and is irrelevant to 99% of applications discussed here on a daily basis.

If the OP is going to use E85 then of COURSE he will make 360-370rwkw, and i would agree with that.

Anyone will tell you that as its the typical 40rwkw gain from using that fuel.

However E85 was not stated as a requirement or part of the scenario, nor is the equipment list supplied upto the task. So one of course assumes the norm, PULP.

Every power estimate thread, every "what will this turbo make" thread all assume PULP.

News to me if E85 is now a commonly available fuel.

Cerbera just enjoys trying to make people he doesn't like look silly any chance he gets, must be some kind of childish game those WA people play from time to time, but that's ok as long as i get to play too. :P

700cc injectors says that he won't be making 350rwkw on E85, they're not up to the task. Dave (NYTSKY) is on 1000cc injecotrs now, and so is Anthony (Guilt-Toy) I believe. Anthony also has a 3L bottom end. And I don't think he's running a 3076R, I thought it was a 3540...

So with the combined facts that a 3076R won't make 350 unless on E85, and the fact that 700cc injectors won't run 350 E85 rwkws, and that the original poster never mentioned E85, Nismoid is right.

That turbo, with those injectors, and either fuel, will not make 350rwkws... E85 will get you closer, but then you will have to up your injectors...

Sorry to detract from the entertaining argument... but assuming capable engine and appropriate head work etc from an RB26, would it be possible to make 350kW or more using N1 turbos or GT-SS's (or Garrett equivs.) taking advantage of the higher octane of E85 with timing etc...?

Mike

Fact. A GT3076 will not make 350rwkw on PULP. Nor will it make 360rwkw, or 374rwkw on PULP.

That may depend on dyno....

Shows how ignorant those with the incorrect facts really are.

Was this a dig at me? Not sure what you think of me but I try to help cut through the shit where possible.

^ lol no dude, not you :P

I reckon you should be able to do it, there is no reason you can't. Same would be said for any other boutique fuel - Martini, Sunoco

If you can get 320-330rwkw from GT-SS's on PULP, then you are looking at around 360rwkw give/take?

Every result i've seen from E85 skylines, EVO's, WRX's - once you get to the 300rwkw marker, to approx an extra 30-40rwkw.

Just gotta remember the offensive fuel consumption of course.

So you could probably apply that percentage to below 300rwkw and workout the gains there as well, should be "near enough" for the intents of results projection

not at all, love a good debate and dont like people slinging "facts" that may not be true!!!

OK to summarise this thread.

1. A 3076 .82 will get you there however you will need to run E85 and your injectors will need to be upgraded to 1000cc items and upgraded fuel pump to reach your desired hp goals.

2. If however you are prepared to accept a laggier setup a GT35 will acheive your power goals on PULP and you can retain your existing injectors.

3. Members from Perth don't get on with members from Collingwood. :P

  • 2 weeks later...

just to stir nismoid up a little bit more...

joeyjoejoe just made 320rwkw with 555cc using E85

now my maths may be a little off but does that not translate to 700cc injectors capable of 403rwkw :laugh:

OUCH!!!

Oh snap.

ps. on topic, go a GT30R, you don't need massive HP for drift, instead you need lightning throttle response, a 35R will take too long to spool in your application.

3. Members of the human race don't get on with members from Collingwood. :blink:

Fixed.

Cerbs is wrong ... as usual .. hehe :)

If its PUMP the gt3076 it won't make 350rwkw ... lets see some TIME, WEIGHT AND MPH to back a car that has ?

It its E85 far out run the GT35. If you understood E85 you would know why ..... oh wait you don't have a car tuned on E85 do you cerbs ?

Just FYI b4 mods freak, having a friendly rib from one Simon to another !

You will get around 375rwkw depending on rail pressure and your chosen AFR.

Agree 100 %

Disagree 100 %

Disagree 100 %

Simmo, I know you have had the 35R like I have, but you've used it in a drag application.

On the track, I found the 35R to be a bit lazy when coming on/off the throttle.

You can disagree all you like, but thats just my experience :ninja:

Hey Brockas :D

There a few points around this discussion.

Our setups are not apples and apples. As you have a china mani and t4 rear. So I would expect yours to be more laggy.

One interesting thing we both have is the OS gearset ratios. Man they do make 1st n 2nd feel a bit laggy when your caught off boost.

Remember we are talking drift(not track or drag) which neither of us have actually done. So I am using Bangers setup as an example.Its an RB25 and gt35 turbo and yer we both know he's one of the top level performers in perth.

An rb26 would be better again !

Finally for track setup, yer I would use E85. Thats a whole new world again !!

Hoping to one day soon, get my car on the no limits night. So find out for myself what you mean.

Guess again it will be different though as my car is a lot lighter. I just need to get a sway bar fitted to my car lol.

banga is a invalid argument, his rpm range is between 10rpm below limiter to 10rpm above so respnonse isn't really needed :(

i remember sean talking about tuning the various wa drift rb25 powered cars and they all make a bit over 400rwhp on his hubber with the 3076R's making shit loads more mid range that the 3582R's

Yup all valid points, except I'm running a stock gearbox now (after breaking the OS) and it actually makes it feel a lot more responsive than with the gearset.

The on/off transition of the 35R isn't bad by any means, just don't think it feels as sharp as a GT30.

maybe you need to harden up then and stop whining about lag and CLUTCH CLUTCH IT !! hehe.

Ahh yer forgot about the broken box :(

At the end of the day I reckon I agree with you. Big power isn;t really needed for drift. More time should be spent on car setup and driving skill :) (ps I have none) The GT30 will have plenty for sure.

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
