Interesting to note the SR22VET is superior on all accounts. Its over half a litre smaller.

It goes to show that cylinder head technology pays out a lot more than cubes.

I think there is more to it than that - compare it with similar sized smaller and "higher performance" wheels to an HKS T04Z, and even the larger (and older tech) HKS T51R Kai on an RB28 running pump gas: kaibb%26%2Bto4z%2Bpower.jpg

Going by that, a T04Z spools better than both turbos - and a T51R Kai is not far off them at all.

Regardless, yeah - SR22VET is way up there in terms of efficiency, while RBs are not so much... by todays standards.

The head on Ninos's engine is top shelf and costs more $$ than what most people are prepared to pay, hence a nice result. That and his engine is a result of endless testing by Advance Motor mechanics and associated companies/people.

Its is all about combo rather than bolting on an "awesome" turbo and expecting to get the same results as others.

Glad to see we agree.

I was not implying the VET head alone is all the difference, but the technology implemented in that cylinder head is clearly a winner. That means both the factory VET side of things and the work the said firms have put towards it.

Lith when I look at those graphs I still see that the RB28 you posted is behind. I typically look for the point where the incline starts to nose over and I consider that to be the point where the motor has hit its threshold. The said VET is hitting that point at 4,700 whereas the RB28 you posted is 5100 on one of the turbos and 5500 on the other.

Obviously there are only hundreds of RPM in it for vastly older tech turbos but I think it notable to consider the big difference in capacity between the two motors. Plus, my comments were actually specific to the two results shown rather than general. I am more than confident that we can find a VET result which is shadowed by an RB.

Agree Ninos engine is sensational and I'm expecting similar results with mine but isn't that RB28 on 93 octane? If so then not really a like for like comparison or even comparable IMO.

Those turbos on 93 octane are not going to perform anywhere there capability on any engine let alone that one.

Yeah definitely, the thing that really does impress me about it is that power is huge for a 64mm compressor on pump gas - I reckon. I'm not sold on the power delivery, though - I think there are competitors which would do that with better delivery at this stage.

Went out again last night with new suspension, looking forward to a prepped track and getting the car to hook up. Ran a PB on lower trap speed and a slower 60ft so that's a good start! 2730lb, only thing removed was the passenger seat and side pipe fitted. Looking forward to get this thing to hook up so we can tap out the 7175!

Different angle with incar

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
