250rwkw is easily doable on the factory ECU trent - ben has done it on countless cars

i agree, just not on my dyno. Ive had plenty of std ecu gtr's on mine (about 17 now) and none have made anywhere near that unless remapped. i had one come close and that was dirk digglers (SAU member) he made 239 ish on a mines ecu.

yep soon as the restrictor is removed the std ecu pours in the fuel and dumbs it down. Most GTR's will pull around 190-200rwkw with a stock ecu, with a mines ecu they will pull around 220 (loads more timing about 29 degrees peak but still rich) a remap will yeild 230rwkw at less boost or 240kw with the restrictor removed and the remap controlling boost.... Sarumatix yours still has the highest reading on my dyno for a std rb26 so dont worry..... yet :)

Sweet, so mine seems ok then assuming its running 14psi.

I think the ecu is stock, doesnt have any stickers or anything on it.

Its running 11:1 afr by the time the boost peaks and goes down to 10:1 from there to the redline.

Can the timing be advanced from stock?

ROFL.

Yes, not saying it isn't ceramic but no one has actually proven it to be that.

Keep in mind that you are talking about dust, not chunks, and when a turbine wheel comes off, what happens to the comp wheel? It starts machining the housing away at the front. This creates dust also. What happens to alloy dust when you burn it? It looks like what you'd imagine ceramic to look like.

Theories of engines sucking blades back into themselves is a bit far fetched. Can happen, I'm sure, but you guys all make out like it's going to happen to every single GTR turbo that ever existed.

Thought you might like that one :D

Funnily enough actually the comp wheel actually seems to stay intact in most cases. I would agree this is a weird occurence being the shaft is now unbalanced and so on.

You would expect the comp wheel to make a fair meal out of the comp housing - i've personally seen 4 blow GTR turbos (one of them my own) missing just the rear wheel and zero damage to the front side of the turbo.

This again would defy common logic (shaft unbalancing etc etc).

They are not sucking the blades though, only small portions of it. I know i used a poor example in another thread where by you drop a glass and it basically shatters everywhere even though the force is going one way - similar to when a turbine lets go, totally depends i would imagine on where in the dump/exhaust flow etc that it decides to split into cosmic dust sized pieces.

Is that on an untuned car with just a cat back exhaust?

Well yeah dude, stock ECU means stock - ie no tune.

I had:

- Cam gears

- Stock dumps

- Custom 2.5" x2 front pipes that merge...

- Into 3.5" exhaust

- GT-SS turbos, 12.5psi

That is all i needed to make 250rwkw on the stocker ECU @ Racepace. Ben said at the time it was a pretty solid result compared to the majority which usually required around 14-15psi for similar results.

When i get my car back i'll do the rounds (ill attempt to do it the same day).

I'll hitup Dr Drift, you, Racepace and RE.

See if in one day, how/where the results vary, would be a very interesting thing to do i reckon

I would have thought once the exhaust wheel has exploded, the turbo stops spinning, as there is nothing to drive it, hence why the comp wheel is fine. If it was chewed comp wheel/housing on the pistons, then it would be on all the pistons, not just the corresponding three to the blown turbo.

Well dude, your stock ecu could have a daughter board in it, therefore be tuned, I dunno. Thats why I specified untuned rather than just factory ecu.

Also I dont have cam gears, front pipes, or a couple of grand worth of turbos. I was a bit worried I was down on power when you said it should be 250.

Given this Im thinking 222kw is probably ok for a stock car with just the catback.

What I really wanted to know is if my engine is making normal healthy GTR power.

Adriano, I was thinking the exact same thing. even if the turbo did start chewing the housing it would stop pretty damn quick, and yeah the ali would be thru the whole engine most likely.

Its weird cause I have never heard of other skylines doing this and they all have ceramic wheels. Maybe its that GTR manifolds are a lot shorter?

I ran my GTS4 with a GTt turbo at 15psi for years and never had an issue. Even managed a 12.995 1/4 with it at 18psi

It would be interesting to know how many of the turbos that fail are on cars with aftermarket BOVs which are adjusted to build more pressure before they open.

I was reading that thread which was linked earlier and one guy said his failed when he changed gear, and another said his was after a drag run. Both are times when the throttle has been snapped shut so there would be a lot of pressure built up on the intake side, and still a lot of gas flow and inertia on the exhaust side.

That would mean a sudden spike in the torque being applied to the turbo shaft and it might be why the wheel drops off.

My GTS4 always had the stock BOV on it.

I must admit i was a skeptic until i saw the pic of the piston on the exhaust side with all the little 'chips' in it. We can all speculate the laws of physics, but the pic is pretty conclusive...

To give you something to compare against, i was pretty disappointed when my healthy R34 GTR made 210awkw last week, with Power FC, 2.5" front pipes, cat, 3" catback, pods, and 14 psi (200awkw on 12psi too). It does feel tough though, so don't be too fussed with the numbers too much if the car feels solid..

well I think 200-220 is about right for a standard gtr with standard turbs. ash's example had aftermarket turbos is it is not relevent to the discussion.

a little bit of realism is a good idea, everyone reading this thread will think every stock gtr makes 250kw when 99% of them make 20% less than that. and the 1% that are making 250 are either bullshit, not standard ecus, not standard boost or not standard turbos.

Well you would need 250 to run a mid 11 in a 32GTR (street tyres), i know a car that has indeed achieved this, and a few that have come close.

So some people are making around that much.

Proof is in the pudding, or the 1/4 mile in this case.

HAHAHA no wonder GT-SS's make all the difference, i was talking std ECU and STD TURBOS. The std ecu runs around 24 peak degrees but can handle 3-4 more, it is also mega rich from about 5500 so you could get away with around 12-15psi on the std gtr ecu.

Yeah definately, it wont cost you a cent on my end. We have had a few guys do comparos now from the melbs15 club so ive nothing to hide. I think even STAO from hyper gear drove from DRDRIFTS to mine and pulled within 2-3rwkw on his old CA dyno test car, he didnt tell me either till after we pulled the runs :P

      R32 GTR fuel gauge not working despite fixing fuel level sender

      By XoRoKu · Posted

      Opened up the cluster to inspect the gauge itself for signs of damage and it looks good. Got curious since that needle doesn't go back to a "neutral" position by itself (it stays in the same position when ignition is off. so I manually moved it to 1/2. Connected it back, turned on the ignition and the needle started moving up! Not sure what's up with that but before that the needle was way down below empty like fully south west. There's always a chance that the needle moved slightly the first time I tried and I didn't notice because of how slowly it moves and how far it was from the markings. I don't know if the current needle position is accurate so I'll fill it up and see where that brings it. I guess I'll try to adjust it manually if it doesn't get to F. Looks like the needle position is relative and not absolute? Thanks all for your help and patience!

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You're confusing two different responders and more than one issue. The stock Neo ECU boost sensor is used by the ECU for protection purposes. It is essentially only an overboost sensor. It is not used for determining engine load for fuelling or ignition purposes. That task falls solely to the AFM. Any aftermarket ECU that either has an onboard MAP sensor or a plug in one, will use the MAP sensor as the primary load sensor. Or I should perhaps say "can", rather than "will", because some of them have the option of using other primary load sensors. That MAP sensor is not for the same function as the stock Neo boost sensor. The reason I recommended against a plug and play ECU is that they are intended to run a particular engine and usually in the car that the particular engine came in. So, if you have a transplanted engine in a different car, with some parts of the original missing (such as the boost sensor, for example) and therefore likely non-standardness of the loom and its insertion into the car's loom, then it is very likely that you will run into the same problems with needing to fix up wiring to make it work that you would with the stock ECU. And, if doing so for the stock ECU is enough of an obstacle that you start considering a standalone plugin as a solution, it should become clear that the plugin is quite possibly not the solution you'd hope it to be. It would just lead to more of the same type of problem solving work to get it going. In the above paragraph and in my earlier post, the lack of the boost sensor is not critical. It was just used as an example of something that we knew you did not have right, such that the stock ECU would not work. I took that as an indicator of a reasonable probability that there were other related problems hiding there.

      I can think of two places in my city of <1.5million population that specialise in automotive instrument repairs.Unless you're out in the wilds of Quebec, you have 3 major Canadian and 3 major US cities within the same distance as the single nearest city to mine. Surely there is somewhere you could send it.

      Can anyone shed some insight on this Turbo?

      I never cared for twins but whenever these conversations came up, I always presumed the higher number represented a larger turbo. Learn something new everyday.

      how do i install this 3 port mac valve for boost control?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Interesting, I've never seen a failure like that before but with the age of these cars and the general questionable-ness of all kinds of parts these days you can't rule anything out I suppose. Boost leak testing the boost control system would've revealed this though.
