How does the .68 T4 compare size wise to a GT30 .63?

3" outlet?

Sorry for all the questions lol just trying to figure out whether I should lump it with a custom manifold for a td06, use my TD07 or sell it and get one of these.

Plus im a bit of a geek when it comes to this stuff lol

LOL only just noticed the intake temp, went to post and you had already posted...

So dodgy temp correction and boost wound up so high the dyno can't even read, INTERESTING

this is a stupidly high ramp rate to smooth it out lol, don't doubt the power, just how smooth it is lol

I attempted to enter a negative figure into a DD Dyno to check correction factor but it didnt except it. I tried IT of 1 dergree C, 12.5 and also tried unplugging the temp sensor and got the following corrections. Wishful thinking but imagine if the dyno was removing another 10% from the figure... :)

Thats generally been my understanding - the greater the intake temp exceeds the ambient temp the greater the correction (inflates power) and vica versa (deflates power). So there is no correction where intake temp and ambient temp are the same.

After looking at the graph this morning, Chea though there was a bit more in it :)

Starting to lift the head at that power so we're gonna have to leave it there for now. Have the Motive drag challenge next week, after that put a Tomei head gasket on and a 6262SP!!

I'll start making the vid

awesome results PJ well done,

but

Look how the power drops up top....

Quick everyone should start hating precision turbo's like you hate Hypergears... :)

This engine doesn't have valve springs, don't think they'd be loving life right now. It would be to interesting to see if the power would hold flat then (some studs and a head gasket would help us too)

We'll log it @ the track for you :) Can't wait it should see close to 135mph trap speed!

  • 3 weeks later...

Well we've since replaced the head gasket in the S14, and while it was apart installed ARP head studs and a BC valve spring and a retainer kit, which has allowed us to rev the engine a bit harder.

The result was 392.3kW at the wheels with a 35psi spike which fell down to a stable 33psi.

For the guys who were sceptical before, we ran it at 29psi and got 367kW at the wheels. So there it is, the limit found of a 5557. Pretty crazy stuff really from a baby .63 exhaust housing!

If the weather is good tomorrow we'll be taking the car to WSID on full slicks :laugh:

Here are the sheets

And now for the Skyline lovers, here are some pics of the R34 that we're building, you can check out a full spec list on our site at: http://www.powertune.com.au/projectcars-gtr.html

It now features a BC 2.8 and Precision GT4271R ball bearing billet turbo, Powertune twin scroll manifold, hopefully we'll have it run in and tuned by the end of the month, then of course straight to the drags :P

Was not skeptical before... Was just noting that you had used more boost than you were claiming!

I myself am super impressed with your results, so much so that if you get your ass into gear and test a 5557 0.63 on a RB25 I would be very interested in purchasing as I'm just about to do a 25 conversion on my 32 this month and looking at a few options for turbos at the moment :)

Bit of an update for my rb25+5557 combo...

Picked it up last week (arrived in aus the day before) semi tuned.... still having dramas! Electrical/ignition, burnt the clutch the first night, no vct still, only 18psi atm on a verrrry conservative tune.

Feels good to drive with off boost, it starts making good power from 3k onwards.

I'm glad powertune has pushed this turbo to it's limmits... I wasn't going to push 30+ psi into my stock rb25. I'll see where we go at 250-260 odd on 98.

Yes the results are awesome, this time we turned it back to show that we were telling the truth about the boost though, as I can't show you the log on the Haltech... well I could but it's too much mucking around for a busy workshop.

As mentioned previously, we will offer free tuning to a donor RB25DET owner wanting to put one on a 5557 purchased from us. Don't be shy guys :) If we had an RB25 as one of our project cars it would be on it!

The turbo's and all other info can be found on our website.

And the 6262SP will be going on the S14 next after we race it, 40psi here we come. Wonder how/if the standard bottom end will let go!!

    • 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).
