bigmikespec, just want some advice from an expert.. wat are the pros n con of having and not having the surge cover for "my" application on this turbo?

i want to run about 25-30 psi on the street on e85 and keep winding it up for race til it tapers off the power/boost curve...

If you are running a 3L definitely go it to avoid surge issues. 2.5L I'm not sure, you might get away with it, anyone got any first hand advice?

If these cars teach you anything, it's patience....

Every 6766 should have the anti surge cover!! The turbine wheel is too damn efficient. Put a back pressure guage on it and you will see.

THIS IS A POST FROM THE SUPRA FORUM BY SOUND PERFORMANCE WHO HAS TESTED A FEW ON SUPRA'S..

Edited by Ryan1200

Not necessarily; if there is low exhaust manifold back pressure in relation to boost pressure then the turbine wheel is able to utilise more exhaust gases to spin rather than the gases just build up and create back pressure.

True but if the wheel is just smaller then it is going to spin up faster anyway, so you could half the size, make back pressure ridiculous and it would spin up about 10x faster. That's why I don't really get why it is a factor in how much it is going to surge, surge is usually just too much compressor flow for the motor at x rpm.

What do you mean back pressure gauge, as in exhaust side pressure?

I agree rolls it's a bit of unusual statement to make in that context.. Maybe they have done back to back testing of the exhaust wheels and found for a given boost pressure the back pressure is much lower and spools much faster.. Who knows..

Hey gentz,

Ive been meaning to pump my mods into my motor for a while now,

BUT I keep going around in circles :(

Ive got an R34 GTR with a standard motor (stock bottom end RB26) - GTR is currently equiped with a full exhaust (which I will need to change as current setup is @ 2.5inch dump and 3 inch outlet to catback) AND a ARC custom air filter (panel).

I was either going to put in 2860-9's (twins) or now considering putting in PT 6262 BB.

- With the -9's (ill hit anywhere b/w 330kwatw to 350kw on pump fuel, 380kw+ on E85) - with support mods ofcourse (refer below)

- With the 6262 (ill hit anywhere b/w 380kwatw on pump fuel, and 420+kwatw on E85) - with support mods ofcourse (refer below)

The question IS, is running massive amounts of boost on the 6262 to produce 400kwatw+ viable on a stock motor (Im trying to avoid building the motor which has approx 50K km on it - due to extra $ required for rods, pistons etc..)

Support mods:

- Need to change the exhaust anyway to open up top end (will get 3.5 to 4 inch turbo/dump back regardless of which option)

- Already got: Haltech Platinum Pro, Tomei Adjustable Cam Gears

- Need to get: 1000cc ID Injectors, twin fuel setup + regulator, fuel rail to match injector bore, Tomei 260 camshafts (single turbo option) + Manifold + Gate, e85 equipment (sensors)

Those are the rough mods, above figures have been confirmed by Powertune in Fairfield. Though I would like to get feedback from anyone who has previously ran MASSIVE amounts of boost on these PT's on stock motor and how they are holding up (preferably on RB26's).

Thanks.

If you want to run 400kw on a stock motor reliably you will almost certainly want to run exhaust temp sensors for tuning and trim each cylinder individually, or just run it massively rich and be conservative of timing. Any detonation at that level will kill it pretty quick smart.

How good is your tuner?

Thanks for your feedback Rolls,

The tuner would be PowerTune (who have posted up a few posts/comments in previous pages).

They are most likely going to tune feeding of the sensors currently in my GTR (i.e. no new sensors going in apart from increased boost rating sensor and ethanol sensor for e85).

i would strongly advise you to get your tune checked out after to ensure everything is okay.

had my car done twice there only to find issues with the tune afterwards and ended up costing me more money in the end to fix up his mistakes.

You sound fairly switched on so I wont delve into massive detail regarding supporting mods, just search long and hard and make sure you have every supporting mod possible before chasing your power goals.

Two things I want to touch on and a recommendation:

2860 -9s will NOT make 330-350 on pump and 380+ on E85. They will make 300-330 on pump and anyones guess on E85 (quite possibly the 350 mark).

The precisions will want a lot of boost and you are risking your factory motor in the event of a minor fauxpas. For 400kw you will want to look at a 3788R, it is the replacement for 35Rish spool and more than T04Z power. You must run it in its twin scroll form.

Please read the 'who has 400kw' thread, it is the definitive answer to your questions.

Stay away from the Precision turbo option...

Keep it twin low mounts, with good pipe work and exhaust. 400rwkw cam be had around 24psi with a set of 10cm t517z trust turbo's with good response for the power.

Cheers

Justin

Scott, a Precision will be no lazier than what you suggested with more power capability, so long as you have the correct sized turbine housing

At a lazy 20psi? Please show evidence to support.

The 3788 gets up and boogies long before 30psi

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
