Hmmm ok, i always thought the inlet manifolds on the 20's were shit, maybe i was thinking of the redtop or something. Just weird how you rarely see a 20 make more then 230-240rwkw, i know not wanting to put a massive turbo on is a big reason due to lag but if the std inlet is not a restrition then whats holding these motors back? 25's seem to make more power easier, mate at work has almost 300rwkw with a unopened motor, just a 3076 (i think) and the usual supporting mods, i know been a 2.5 over a 2 littre helps but still.

Yea sounds weird if the 2535 is running out of puff after only 6.5k, should be good almost to redline. I think even the smaller 2530's are good till about 7k then they fall of.

Might have something to do with the cams, your not running cam gears are you?

yeh HKS cam gears aswel

this is mates track car down here in VIC

although rb24 it still retains the standard rb20 inlet manifold, 400KW @ wheels

And some people wonder why imports have a bad name with the general public.

Its not a skyline so its ok :nyaanyaa:

I think with the 20's you have to have a compromise between power and response, nothing you can do about the lag and as roy said it can be an advantage having less torque, with a good turbo setup and been able to have you foot planted mid corner and still getting traction is a good thing, just maybe not as fun on the street.

I'm with you on that. That guy is a f**king idiot. It sucks that we all shit canned in the same group as him.

Settle down hardparkers, he would look like a muppet if he's got drift stickers and a huge T wing and the car had 100% tread. Personally i hate getting canned in the "DRIFTSCENE" because today's driftscene is filled full of people who put stickers on their cars, chinese bodykits, fartcannons and sit at meets with 100% tread saying IF i was to do a burnout i'd light up the street.

Anyone who drives a skyline like a commodore should sell their car and buy a commodore.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
