Hi all!   I've not really been active on this forum for some time and although I lurk in to read bits and pieces of interest I don't really think of this as a forum I'm part of but I once was and I di

Haha - yeah it could use some more boost Simon..  I'm sorry I've not put up Motec logs in the past for those who've wanted to see. Back at the time I did a bit of comparing because I did more or

mr skidz, your posts are coming off as trolling at this point.  do EFR people go into precision threads and talk about how great their mates setup is, but wont give any details??  whilst complaining t

Interesting.

Do you have the shaft speed sensor on it? If so, what does it read at what boost and powah? Got a graph? Everyone likes a picture.

Yeah, I got a shaft speed sensor on it, in fairness we had to get a circuit made to convert the signal for the ECU to be able to decipher it (there wasn't one available at the time) so I can't be 100% that I'm getting the correct reading. I have recently bought the Full-Race convertor box, so when I fit that and get a run on the track or the dyno I will get some more data logs out of the ECU to be sure.

At 22psi it gets to 132,000rpm (absolute max is said to be 140,000)

I have the dyno sheet of the tune, but nothing with the speed sensor.....I would have to maybe do a screen shot of the data log off the Link ECU software?

So really, in the current state of tune the turbo has nothing left unless you want to REALLY wring it's neck.

470 odd kw ain't nothing to sneeze at though.

No doubt there will be others out there that could get more out of it that I have, my setup is by no means perfect.....most of it was a bit of a guess as no one had run this turbo on a 3ltr six cyl anywhere on the globe at that time.

There are other 8374 1.05 powered RB's running ethanol and making bigger numbers than me......but I'm pretty sure I'm boosting earlier.

Yeah, at this stage 470kw is plenty for a road car that sees the track about twice a year :)

Haha thanks CHRIS :P

View very much noted and accepted as gospel as 8374 turbo is epic! Had the joy of going for a run in a car that had 1 strapped to it today ;)

Quite different to your car being 2.6L with V cam and 1.05 rear only running a baby 21psi with Ethanol on an "unfinished tune" (needs more injector) car made + or - in the 400kw zone but f**k me what an impressive turbo! For everything this setup had going against it (being boost limited unfinished tune not enough injectors etc) still impressed the hell out of me!

EFR FTW!

Will be interested to see the results when it's done!

Yeah a bit different to mine, smaller capacity, but V-Cam and 1.05a/r and E85......

As discussed this arvo, I think there is so much left in that setup.

- 35 degree day for starters

- the tune

- boost limited to 21 ish psi. A turbo this size wouldn't be out of bed yet

- fuel issues.

Yet it was still very impressive.

Cracking gates in 4th at 3700 rpm is silly for a turbo of this size. You'd expect talk like that with it on a 3.0 or something of the sort.

All this talk make me looking forward to see what a RB26 with 250cams with 83/74 1.05 plumb back will do. we don't have ethanol over here, but I have water/meth. I don't really care for dynoqueen number, i care more about how it will feel/drive :) Hopefully, it will be like I wanted ; responsive as a GT-SS, with power of the -5 :)

When I think about it, i'm thinking maybe I should had gone 0.92 or 7670 with 1.05 for exemple.

This car was outspooling my dads 2.6L -9 setup by quite a fair whack! Im a response whore and like you not interested in a dyno queen & this car seriously impressed the hell out of me! A 7670 with 1.05 would be as good if not better spool up than the stock turbos IMO ;) Edited by Mick_o

Good to know ! :) Surely the v-cam must be doing some of its magic. We shall see, to my knownledge, I'm the first to try a turbo of this size with tiny cams..

Oke since it was said that the 7670 did not flow enough for my hp goals I made my decision :)

Since my car will be mostly street and occasionally track I think this one will do the job for me.

More power and less hastle with external gates and pipes.

This one has a sand casting too btw.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
