To my understanding the 6870 is the biggest of the mid frame precision, I know of a few 2.8s with 6870s. 

From what people have said the 6870 on a 2.8 will have similar response to a 6466 on a 2.6 but make closer to 850-900hp at the wheels 

I have spoken to one person with one and he says he’s all in at around 4100 with a 1.15 rear on it 

The logic is that with my new head and inlet setup i should retain the same response and make more overall power on the 6870

It is also suggested I may hit the back pressure wall on the 6466

 

All in all I am in a holding pattern until seeing what the 6466 does on the new setup and just seeking results on a 2.8 6870

 If so on track isn't Simon R. still quicker with a 6262 on a 2.6 ?

first of all, how much did Simon pay you to say that 😁

 

The debate on that is largely irrelevant as both of us run around 550/600whp on the track, as opposed to 800+ when doing other events.

And you dont even need the 1.15..

Even in a 3.0 they are all in compressor wise on a 1.00

Far out man, a responsive wheel 900hp !

I can't even comprehend that as being realistic. Someone really needs some 6870 results here

It is possibly realistic depending on what boost number he is talking about and what size engine, how long it's loaded to achieve that or maybe how much nitrous.

For what it's worth this dyno plot is of a RB32 with VCam running a 6870, it's going to be harder to make a 6870 come on quicker than this on a sensible ramp run on a dyno without nitrous.  Definitely not with an RB28

Me either it’s why I’m asking for other people who have done it.

I would be looking at the 1.00 rear if I did it. At the moment  I’m looking to put a 1.00 rear on the 6466 and thought I’d ask about the 6870 because of the number of people suggesting to go that way

You tune with JEM right ? What did they say ?

Thanks for that mate. So there is some merit to the guys suggesting to maybe skip the 6466 stage in favour of the 6870 in the first place ? This was my original intention.

I know the 6870 will make more power, but surely that will translate into a slower car everywhere else but the strip ?

Dont know

They all have there place.. The 6466 is still the best allrounder.. Its a epic little turbo. Slower everywhere else could depend on style of circuit you use?.. Comp, camshaft/transmission type  even tyres used for corner exit.

So could be merit in it.. But apart from efr the 6466 is hard to top

I haven’t got Facebook to be able to get it, I found it using the mrs computer and it was the usual photo of a screen that’s impossible to read so I went off his comment further down the page

The only difference is turbo? 

You're going to be off boost until 5,000rpm anyway....so what difference does turbo size make at this stage?

Save yourself the money - buy the biggest turbo possible - because I guarentee you won't be happy with the 6870 in a few months time....

Realistically a 2.8L with a 1000+hp turbo isn't gunna be THAT streetable. It kinda puts you in "the middle" as it's not going to be good on the street & it's not gunna get you anywhere in roll racing either.

Obviously this is just my opinion and no doubt a 650kw car is gunna pull like a freight train once it wakes up!

 But making a car that's gunna be laggy on the street to compete in the 2nd biggest dick shwinging contest after WTAC every couple of weeks/once a month is going to ruin the car for all those other drives you will take it on.

I think you're off ya head ditching V cam and the 6466 man. 

6466 + vcam + 2.8L + sequential will make for a brutally fast/responsive car thats gunna do street duties, SAU cruises amazingly well! But realistically it ain't gunna change your roll racing result at the end of the night cos you're going home once the big boys come out to play anyways. 

 All you're doing is sacrificing a f**ktonne of low/midrange & overall average grunt for a lazy 50kw up top dude? At the expense of 80-100kw of midrange grunt  and far more drivability off boost ditching V cam.

Ditching V cam on a street car is a huge mistake. You've felt the gains its given you and you're basically going 2.8L to give you the low down grunt V cam has given you. You're taking a big sideways step with shit cams and no skinny cam. Bigger cubes & v cam is the only logical choice for a street car. All you're building is a top end screamer in the "guise" of a street car imo.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
