Why go aftermarket turbo when the stock one will reliably handle n make 30 less kilowatts?? Ie 200 rwkw. If u wana go aftermarket then mite as well go for at least 270 rwkw and up

as 30rwkw makes a huge difference.

had 460rwhp on stock engine just bolt ons but limited the revs to 7g everday driver.. right fuel, right tune, right maintenance will see it last as long as it can when it blows build it ;)

Ash this may interest you as i know your a racepace (killer workshop) fan boy.

We see quite a few cars from Racepace through nowadays and the results we see from our hub dyno are very close to the dyno dynamics dyno (generally 10 up or down) they are running... so hub versus roller is moot.

In fact only last week had a bayside blue R34 gtr with t518z's from there last week which pulled 280kw on mine and he had a dyno sheet for 290 from racepace exact same boost.

ye i know your results are pretty similar mate, its just one particular place in SA that's doing ridiculous fudge :)

Using the same dyno/correction they use on the said SA dyno my car went 410kw at the hubs. On the same tank of fuel it went 360rwkw on a dyno dynamics roller!

Take from that what you want :)

Also my car has been going fairly well with the 360rwkw for about 6 months now, including a run down the drags and at the track for time attack, I wouldn't recommend this much power to everyone though haha

How much power can a neo motor reliably handle on 98 fuel and on e85 that gets tracked and little street driven?

Assuming it's all tuned properly ect..

The reason I'm asking is because I've heard or read somewhere here that neo have stronger rods.

Trackcars are tuned abit softer, keep ur oil cool and dont skimp on quality fluids.

Power will depend on setup. Pushing a smaller turbo out of efficiency (too high boost) is worse than running a slightly larger turbo in its efficiency range but both making the same power

About 270rwkw, as mentioned many times across the board above this is pushing the long term longevity of the motor. I do not think it is the rods yet rather the overall construction of the motor itself.

Yeah thats what I thought. Making 280rwkw on 17psi hypergear atr43g3 with .82 rear end. Turbo doesn't run hot at all. Have all supporting mods, greddy oil cooler. Always run good fluids. I use motul 300v 15w50 which gets changed regularly.

The reason for asking is because I am thinking of getting a tune done in e85. But not sure whether it is safe to go more power or not with this fuel. I'm happy to leave it at this power level and enjoy the other benefits of e85 but more power is always good. cheers.gif

I have a mate who had a 33 with 320rwkw on race fuel with stock internals (although tomei cams) as his daily. It ran reliably for 3 years or so until he sold it. It had done a few runs down the strip before he bought it, but otherwise he babied it. To be honest, if he had been hammering it on tracks etc i think it wouldnt have lasted. Needless to say, the thing was scary fast for the street

Well definetely get the tune done on E85. Will be a lot safer - less chance of detonation and the engine will run cooler.

Just keep the tune making around the same power if you are that worried.

Yeah I'm not overly worried, just wanted to know what is safe. If I can go more power then great! If not than I won't and still enjoy the benefits. But looks like I will just keep as is power wise and not risk it. Just thought I would try and clear this up about neo motors as I wasn't to sure with e85.

ye i know your results are pretty similar mate, its just one particular place in SA that's doing ridiculous fudge :)

yeah and you're and idiot for continuing with this without knowing the full facts.. the owner of that dyno tunes with no temp probe correction. IE the dyno assumes an ambiant of a defult 100 deg C and then spits out a high reading. MY tuner hires the dyno and uses the intake probe correction, and the RIGHT mode on the dyno which puts it within witin range of a roller dyno. gibe or take 10 rwkw or so.

mine made 410 rwkw with no temp probe. and 367 rwkw with temp probe. - 10 rwkw off that and theres a round about 357 rwkw from a roller dyno.

hmm interesting feedback. may have to reconsider some things. either way 230kw is a big difference to the 200 my car is currently making. thanks for the info guys

crack 300 on a mainline simon??

sorry, had to stir :P

Pushing a smaller turbo out of efficiency (too high boost) is worse than running a slightly larger turbo in its efficiency range but both making the same power

If they are both making the same power how can the smaller turbo be worse unless you mean you are loading it too much?

How you can do a proper temp correction on a turbo car is beyond me?:whistling: It's not just a linear equation concerting the amount of O2 (like for a nasp) but complex shit involving intercooler efficiency and all sorts.

I wish peeps would just quote power at the wheels - on the day - and not the jiggery pokery of corrected this and that.:thumbsup:

Fwiw we tuned my new motor last night and made better power and response on less boost

3kw more with 2psi less and a couple deg less timing aswell!

So it seems like after 3 years of 300rwkw on what seemed like a healthy motor might have been takin it's toll slowly over time

Was everything else the same (eg: compression ratio) and same dyno?

I would expect that a tight new motor would make a bit more power than a high km stocker :)

Keen to see your new graph, always been impressed with your set up!

Sam tuner, dyno etc etc

the motor is a "young" stagea 25 that was attached to an auto all it's life vs a very old skyline 25

Will post when I get to my computer

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
