For a GT-RS on a RB25 it seems to be coming on fairly late at 3600rpm.

The peak looks about right so there is still room for more power earlier when that is sorted. I'd expect it to be all in about 500rpm or so earlier.

I think he is concerned that excessive blowby will develop if I go any further HP wise.

Apparently the standard exhaust manifold starts to become a restriction at this level too, ie excessive exhaust pressure/heat buildup. Correct me if I'm wrong.

dont think so dude... i had my old car making 290rwkw on the standard manifolds and it was all good... no catch can either :D

he must want you to have it as a precaution rather than anything else...

The manifold is not an issue at that power level.

I would have a look at the wastegate as a reason for the lazy-ish boost response.

So thats just a matter of fitting a tighter spring, right? Would the stock BOV have anything to do with this ie leaking?

How long were you running that power level? How do you know you didnt have blowby if you didnt have a catch can?

I dont think you will get much more than 250rwkw out of a GTRS on a stock RB25. But it should have really good response.

If the stock bov was the issue you would have issues with high amounts of air not with response.

Mine GT-RS runs 256rwkw @ 14psi.

However, it has headwork, HKS cams, Plazaman plenum aswell.

Nice results! Bet you are happy. Gets boring quick tho :P

Standard everything else, RB25, Powerfc, injectors, FMIC, exhaust, and GT3076 with 56trim, 0.6 comp cover, a 0.63 IW rear housing, 18psi of boost. Full boost at about 3100rpm.

Boost was on steady here to stop traction loss. Came on hard though, and at around 3000rpm as I said.

Set up the 3076 properly, and it will not be laggy.

Er.. while thats annoying to see it spooling earlier than my smaller turbo, its not entirely relevant now that I have a GT-RS :P

I am pretty happy with the way it drives though, much smoother coming onto boost.

Unfortunately after 6 months of being f**ked around by yellow sticker, getting hail damage, and having it stuck at the workshop for 3 weeks getting tuned guess what.. its been raining all day yesterday and today, which means I can't really test the acceleration properly.

since we're posting set ups...

heres mine... stock neo motor, un opened except for poncams type b's, has AM performance stainless steel steam pipe manifold with custom collector, 3076, tial 44 gate, fmic, 3.5 inch exhaust, nistune, 600cc injectors and runs 50/50 ethanol/bp98

running 16 psi too... its crazy to drive and is very VERY responsive. torque chart was on the wrong read out when they printed it but it makes around 550 nm torque at the wheels.

Check the wastegate preload SoFreshSoClean. If the actuator has some play in it, crack the 10mm nut and go a turn or two!

This wont need retuning because the AFM compensates for the extra air and adds fuel right?

Gonna have a look-see tomorrow. If its stopped raining. Which it hasnt. :)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
