Ok so as promised, I have a heap of overlays. I'll explain it all as below.

Common items/points

- All cars are Racepace builds, of near similar specification. These will not alter results massively at all.

- All using stock cams (except 517z car), similar head tidy up, RB26.

- NO EBC's are being used, just the same modified actuator setup

- All cars are run on the Racepace Dyno. Calibrations are the same except one graph where the boost reading is 50% less. Explained later.

- All cars are run using the SAME set of 18's, with the SAME set of tyres on them (dyno wheels), and are all in RWD.

- All tunes are track focused, they all run a slightly safer tune than a street tune normally would.

- All cars run factory airbox, and at least 3.5" exhausts, stock exhaust manifolds, stock plenums. Most have factory dumps also

- Most cars are R33 GTR's, stock drivetrain specs. There is one R34, so obviously some difference there

Turbo Specification & other info I will just go in order, top to bottom.

Dark Blue - Custom Racepace hybrid turbo's. I will find out specs later. (It's my car)

Light Blue - Garrett -9 / boost control issues. Car has run 124mph @ Calder in this config.

Green - Garrett -5. This motor is slightly different to all the others in terms of specs (ie, better)

Red - Trust T517Z 8cm. On graph, boost is 50% less than it was. So just double it, sensor was not reading correcly. 260° 10.8mm lift cams

Pink - Garrett -7

Black - Garrett -5

Comments:

Once the -9 car's boost control is fixed, I'll get more plots.

As you can see, the -7s and -5s spool almost the same on the dyno under load, however there is a noticeable difference when on the street that is not possible to show here.

My custom turbo's however are rather crazy in terms of response, however they do fall over in upper RPM's harder than the others. I will get EVC6 just to see if there is not more that can't be done. Even 2psi extra as it falls off would make a huge difference.

About all I can think of for now. Thanks to Chris @ Racepace for spending a good 45mins today going through over 100 graphs to find the correct/final results of cars. Some cars had over 300 runs in the database, so it took a while :)

And Troy/(Roy) was down there hassling us to put RB20 graphs on there constantly :D

What I'll try to do as well in the future is get some video on road in various gears with 2-3 of the cars side by side @ the same time etc.

That will further help to show the difference in response/pick-up that's hard to see on a loaded up dyno run etc.

That could be a little whole though as a couple of the cars above don't exist in those setup's anymore. Especially -5 cars, both of those now have -7s on them.

Ye, he is the mate/car i was telling you about.

I won't be putting any larger displacement though. It's just for 2.6ltr's at this stage.

What i will do though is get a mate of mine to touch the graph up in Photoshop to make the lines easier to see the lines.

My boost curve for instance gets a bit lost with the power lines :D

If someone could work out the RPM points @ the KM/h point, i'll add them in as well for easier reference.

Not sure what the point of this thread is - but I can say my 3yo daughter drew a pretty picture like that one as well earlier today :)

For what it is worth the black one I think is my old 2007 Dutton set-up. Now Ash mentioned it was going to be "different" because it was in an R34 but infact that would have been from when it had the full R33 drive train in it so it really should be comparable.

Funnily enough we have noticed that there is a small drop in power on the dyno and a shift in the curve line to the right when we went from the R33 drive train to the R34 drive train on the N1 set-up. So it seems you can't ever really compare an R34 to R33/R32 graph on the same dyno exactly. (Be an interesting one to try and dig up and show one day too).

Ah ok 33 drive - cool ill alter it then :)

Point, no real point i guess.

Just to see what varying setups look like @ what boost range. All the turbos are good for over 20psi without a problem on good motors, even the smaller ones even though they fall over a bit.

But ye Noel, the -9 equipped car there and another -5 car (similar spec) had rolling runs a few times and from a off-boost and the -9 car was pulling ahead in the lower gears/speeds no problems.

Id rather test that myself and video it :D

Nice work Ash, good to see how the various turbo setups behave on Racepace engines. The Trust turbos are the T517Z 8cm version, exactly the same as what I had back in the day. Now you can see why I went to -5's instead. The Trust turbos make good peak power but lack the low end response...

Ye, he is the mate/car i was telling you about.

I won't be putting any larger displacement though. It's just for 2.6ltr's at this stage.

Ah right, well in that case from remembering what you said; hurry up with it!!! Lol. I'm keen to see the results from that one

I'll wait for the stroker overlay thread :D

ash can you add in the the detals... such as if the engines have been rebuild because there is 20-50 rwkw in a 20 year old rb26 with nasty blowby

for example one of my gtr's rb26 with -5's and 1.2 bar = 280 rwkw, blowes the dip stick out regualry so much so i run 12 pounds at the track and cable ties to hold the dip stick f**ker in

i know the same engine with a hone and new filed down rings will put out 320rwkw even with the same awesome nissan factory pistons

and 3 litres in r31's are for posers

ya fags!

All the engines above are rebuilt by Racepace.

Ash, good work.

How come the one with -9s has boost control issues?

I'm curious on how -9s with boost control issue fixed would stack up compare to -7s in terms of response.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
