hi guys, just got my rb3026 run in and the proper tune done on it but we cant get it past 315kw atw, doesnt make any more power, can wind in more boost pressure but it doesnt make a difference. here is the mod list

rb3026

t04z .84 rear housing

50mm gate

hdi rs spec cooler (95mm thick one)

pon cams b spec 9.15mm lift 260 duration

cam gears

ported head standard size valves

3.5" turbo back and cat, 3" from cat back

splitfire coil packs

1000cc injectors

built engine etc

its like there is a restriction somewhere, pulled exaust off before cat, made no difference, took of turbo inlet pipe, made no difference, checked the cooler incase i left a rag in the but nope. as I said the boost pressure is there but its like the flow is not and the pressure holds steady till redline it doesnt taper off at all. this setup should be able to make 400kw so yeh if anyone has any ideas id love to hear them

car goes fkn hard but yeh id like the extra kilowasps that should be there lol

cheers

messured? boost pressure or flow across the cooler? I looked the cooler up on hdi's website and they say its good for 900+ hp, Its new and there arent any leaks.

spent the better part of a day fiddling with the cam gears on the dyno, got good midrange but just cant get past 315.

I just remembered when putting the exaust manifold on it didnt line up perfectly with the exaust ports (used indian ink to check), its not a cheapy though, is a stainless one off the shelf from gcg. I dont know if that would cause this to happen though

I just remembered, I have a split pulse exaust housing and a non split pulse manifold. (I know got a bit excited when I started this build 2+years ago and went out and bought a manifold and stuff before id come to the point of needing it)

i was about to suggest taking a look at exhaust manifold. by how much did the ports not perfectly line up?

are u checking boost close to manifold as u wind it up? as in is the engine actually seeing more boost? wastegate spring isnt at it thresh hold and bleeding off or anything is it?

cause there are plenty of 900hp cars in china to do r&d for them....

yer accross cooler core would be somewhere to start.

2-3 mm doesnt seem right on the exhaust manifold not lining up to me.

are u using map sensor or afm? at what psi does it stop making power?

The divided .82 turbine housing is WAY too small. it's equivalent to about 0.5-0.6 a/r in a regular housing. Definately not great having a regular manifold and divided turbine housing either.

Port match the exhaust manifold to the head and get a .82 regular turbine housing and it should be all sweet!

Frst thing i would be trying is dropping the exhaust at the cat the doing a power run. 3" cat back seems a little small for big power.

edit, should have read the whole post.... you already tried that :whistling:

0.8 divided rear housings on a T04Z have been shown to make between 430-470rwkw

I dont know why anyone has not realised yet, but I believe this is definitely the problem.

You have an open frame T4 manifold with a split pulse T4 turbine housing, the entry to the turbo has a serious restriction in it. As does the manifold if it doesnt like up perfect.

I think you should ditch whatever manifold that is and switch to a 6boob immediately, you have 400kw to crack.

yeh im leaning towards the mani being the issue, I do love the 6 boost ones, but I have a few things to check first before I fork out the dough, will keep the post updated if (should say when) i make any progress

its not the rear housing thats for sure.

A friend is making close to 450kw with the same t04z .82 turbo. To be on the safe side drop the exhaust while your at it and check the cooler. If power shoots up, rebolt the exhaust back on. If the problem reappears you know its the exhaust. If it dosnt, Most likely the cooler.

.82 split or single?

a.d the exhaust was ruled out in the first post.

Split pulse housing on single entry manifold as per post 3.

Considering the ports off the head arent perfect and we have well and truely established that the turbo flange is wrong, I am willing to put money on it that this is the issue.

I would go throw that chinese made POS back at GCG and get the real deal. If it was them who sold you the turbo with the manifold you should seriously flame them (though I would just cut my loses and move on).

Im not sure how many times I have harped on about this, yet on an basic SR, I saw a 76mm test pipe mated to a 80mm system stop the motor from making any more than some pathetic number.. Popped an 80mm cat on and hey presto pushing over 200rwkw instantly.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
