I have with the HKS cast manifold which has the wastegate sitting right on top. The very short run to the gate is the worst it can be if you want to keep both sides divorced. I am guessing there wouldn't be much in it once gasses start moving at any speed.

Is that stainless ?? can't wait to get my stainless mani in favour of mild steel.... might be alright if it doesn't get too hot.

had heaps of issues with turbo to mani gaskets etc, and Grant at Per4manz turbos is pointing the finger at the stainless and turbo rear having different expansion rates...stainless is something like 10mm per 1m.

you might not be putting as much heat as the TO4 at near on 2bar, so might not have any issues...just saying (-:

I think so, but looks identical to that one. no cracks or anything, just trouble mantaining a good seal between turbo and mani, Grant thinks due to stainless flange against cast mild?? , had them both faced a couple of times, tried every type of gasket. The permeflex ( or whatever its call ) 5 layer one thats on know seems to be holding up, but hasn't seen too many long track sessions yet.. next time it lets go, its a 6-boob steam pipe or similar.

Pffft PJ. Joels is slowly catching up. U too should race :) rules are no higher than 6000rpm hahaha

Just got his off the dyno, full boost 24psi @ 4300rpm revving to 7500 335kw

Will push for more boost soon. Had to take it for a run

E-Flex, that's E85 yeah?

Top end power is great but a little laggy? I'm reading 15psi@4250rpm, 20psi@4500 and 24psi at 5100rpm (all approx). Do you think these can be improved upon with better boost control? What size gate is on there now?

I've got a 5858 and was hoping for better response that that but not so sure now!!

Don't forget it's a 2L SR20 not a RB25

It's making at around 4300rpm which I wouldn't have thought is too bad at all

Yes understand its a SR20 which is what I have.

The top end is sensational and a great result. Don't get me wrong, not meaning to be critical but would have hoped for more action a bit earlier.

In any case a dyno doesn't tell you how a car feels on the road.

Like I said I have a 5858 that is going onto a 2L (maybe a 2.2L) so am really interested in the response and power of these things. The slightly larger turbo should be able to make 350rwk or so. I guess I will find out later on.

I dont think the lag is as bad as it looks. You cant expect too much response from a 2L with a 300+kw turbo man.. For me its really on par and I think its a good result.

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
