All good man just having a friendly dig.. :thumbsup: Back on topic...

Fair enough... was a bit cheeky though! ;) I am a bit of a nerd especially when I don't know something, come hell or high water I want to know exactly what and how happens.

To rob82 my comments were more to suggest that an internal wastegate creates more back pressure on the exhaust side. I also think you answered your own question as well... why would you have a large frame single turbo on a small capacity engine with small cams? Engine would choke before the turbocharger even came into its own.

I honestly think that most internal wastegated turbo would cause less flow disruption/diversion at the point of gating than most externally gated setups. Hence the exhuast backpressure would be less for the same size turbo with an internal gate vs external gate.

Also I was just trying to point out before that if response is the goal massive cams are not the go.

No better example of this than ole mate Marko really.

About time you did, everyone will benefit.

I mean you supposedly asked for a tune without a midrange...

And are firmly on the big cam bandwagon this month:

Yet only 2 months ago you come out with this?

Says it all really. :rolleyes:

i am not prepared to go into detail of my old engine setup as it is not my business to share this intell, however, i will tell you that the engine is running 100kw less - case closed.

my cam choice has ALWAYS been chosen by my tuner - not what i read on the internet from a computer warrior. for example, would someone who has built many rb's (i.e. CRD, RIPS, Red R Racing, Hi Octane) carry more weight than a someone like yourself or me for that matter? stop kidding yourself...how many engines have you built ash & how many combinations have u personally tried?

i have had this thread reviewed (not disclosing name) i am sure you will keep following me around as its blatantly obvious, please stop trolling and posting off topic as this is not the 1st time.

thank you & sorry guys

Sorry mate you are wrong there on your first paragraph.

Yes, you want response choose small turbos like HKS GT-SS or N1 upgrade (which means high exhaust manifold back pressure) and chosing short duration camshafts with little or no overlap.

Can you explain why I am wrong.

I dont think you understand what I am saying - try reading my post again.

Under the assumption that the external wastegate is vented to atmosphere your theory is incorrect.

Arguing with you is like masturbating with a cheese grater - slighty amusing but mostly painful!

WTF are you talking about.

Real world data. Rb26 at 86.5 bore, stock stroke, all steel internals (endurance spec build, probably overkill, but I hate failures), Tomei 280 degree 10.8 mm lift cams, Tomei cooling channel pistons at stock CR, Motec M800 ecu, stock TB's, stock CR, mildly ported head, all manifolds port aligned, stock ported cast manifolds, NO AFM's, MAP / Throttle based but with 4D mapping, stock elbows, -10 turbos, 3 inch ultra quiet exhaust (98Db at 2/3 max rpm static), 850 CC injectors off single 044 pump, in a GTS-T RWD shell. 1.2 bar boot. Motec shows absolute, not gauge pressure. mikey whatsisname speaks a lot of sense, IMHO.

In car with basic data overlay from same track day:

Manually synched to video, so a tad out, sorry.

I want to try the bigger -10 turbine housings. Car is a pussy cat on the road, no shuffle at all, totally pleasant off boost and at cruise. Would benefit from a less restrictive exhaust system, exhaust manifold pressure V boost pressure ratio is not brilliant, but here in the UK noise is a major issue. Car runs from the roadside pump Shell V power, no det, no issues.

Edited by Chris Wilson

I think your throttle % mapping is a bit out, highest it gets too is 65% or so whilst the 'bar' is maxed?

5500rpm in second @ full noise before 1.2bar. Maybe you need 290 cams as well to bring them on @ 4500rpm like some around here have claimed :rolleyes:

Pity the data cuts out half way through the video man, it was just looking to get interesting :(

Yes, I am just trying this manual data overlay app (Race Render, it's me, not the app as such, it's trickier than I imagined...), I am beginning to wonder just how far from synched this is, take it with a pinch of salt, but you get the basic idea. Just shut one eye ;) Automagical synching is available from Motec, but the bank manager is dubious about its merits this month ;)

I am in the UK, but try and keep an eye on all the Skyline sites. Cheers. I may have another go at doing a better synch. I have sold my Go Pro Hero camera and for next season will either get the Motec stuff if they come good on their intent to offer a higher resolution camera setup, or buy a camera that time stamps the video. The GPS data channels have a GPS time function, so tying up the two should be far easier then. Cheers.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
