No doubt, mine isn't getting pushed at all and it's starting to get right up there power vs power rating wise.

I just find it hard to imagine a larger turbo on basically the same motor set up as mine and Jez's is making almost double the power at 4000rpm and a huge extra wack of hp top end... All while being on 99 octane fuel vs Jez and myself on E85

If I thought that graph was genuine and repeatable I would have already sent an email requesting an invoice for the purchase :)

Any thoughts on how it is possible? I agree, it seems unbelieveable - but there has to be an explanation! SAE doesn't inflate numbers THAT much unless the temp sensor is somewhere silly, perhaps.

Might have to check more MGT dyno results to see if they have other numbers which seem too good to be true - they are meant to be a reputable outfit.

<edit> I think I have found a trend :(http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/176121-high-power-rb25s-mapped.html

Lol you are everywhere when it comes to turbo results :P

Probably wont be able to get much help here but what would you guys recommend for a n1 motor with vcam?

6262 .84 twin scroll seems to be the go for a 26 but with vcam would the 6266 be the better choice with a bigger rear (1.0+).

Car sees a little track mainly for street though and will be run on e85. Ideally I'd want 450awkw+

  • 2 weeks later...

i rekon a 6266 .84 divided rear would be choice

I got that same turbo on my built 26, still have standard cams, e85 etc getting tuned Friday so I can post up a graph then, will be good to compare to all the 6262 graphs getting around

Update guys, The Old girl made 350kw 15 psi 430kw 24psi, 30psi made 436kw @ 6000rpm ignition prob the splitfires arent coping plus Im thinking the exhaust maybe holding it back 3.5 inch dump pipe 3.0 inch exhaust maybe to much back pressure we will check & see whats going on. Should be up around 500 plus in my eyes gate is vented straight out with screamer pipe. Need to iron out the little bugs then hopfully see some decent numbers.

Very nice mate!


When does this all start to happen, RPM wise?


I would have to agree that 3" is too small for any part of the exhaust when reaching for those power limits.. 500kw is basically 4" TBE zone.

Didn't it make good power on pump gas? If it can made 450kw on straight pump gas then it should be able to make a fair bit more than that on E85... if it isn't then the cause is more likely to be ignition or something along those lines.

to put it straight Lithium, The 450kw was on race fuel at autosalon with to4z .82 rear 24psi, was making 430 on pump98. Just its really bugging me that it seems stuck at 400 plus. In all Honesty it should crack 500 plus @30psi one would think engine sounds great. Did a comp test evrything is good 134,134,134,135,137,134. Thinking either LS2 coils or okada what your thoughts about the situation?

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
