Too bad you couldn't go for a quick spin last night mate, would have been interesting to compare it now with how it was a month ago.

As an aside, just for shits and giggles, next time you get on a dyno try dropping the correction by another 20%. I'm sure that will be useful for you to compare the progress any changes have made...

Out of interest, what is the top power figure for a GT3071 on an RB25, on E85?

You ran out of flow at 341kw, on an auto gearbox, right?

Not sure, I think its good for over 360 on a good setup but how often do you see the coin spent? Stock cams, manifolds and internal gates just don't cut it.

good stuff scott im glad to hear it all went well you should seriously get down to calder/heathcote and see if you can improve on your time

I will come and keep you company one cold Calder night. When is the next one?

I will need another sucker to sit in the stands, take video and freeze to death. Any takers?

If I could get to mine easily I would do it on my car but there is no room on my setup.

I lol'd. Rb people don't know about tight spaces and packaging :P

Mainly what I wanted to know is does the v6 have any advance over the rbs? Saw a rb25 with e85 and 26 psi go for 330kw at unigroup in the 3071 thread. I think that was a pretty good set up from what people were saying. Comparable result?

You can lol but then you haven't seen a HKS low mount cast manifold with a GT30 based turbo on it which requires a shave of the engine mount (due to the lack of room) but to add insult to injury I have an ex-S1 Stagea RB25 in the R33 and the oil drain sits higher than the original block which means that there is almost no way to reconnect the drain.

I wouldn't never complain about space constraints otherwise, certainly compared to the tight packaging on VQ powered stageas.

The turbo was maxed out in Mick's case and seemingly on Scotty's at similar power levels so dyno-wise I think the results were comparable. To me it indicated that the compressors were maxed out. Mick's setup on E85 is a peach.

My GT3076 was stronger everywhere compared to Mick's GTX3071 on 98 ron both tuned at Unigroup which is why I still think the extra coin required for a GTX turbo doesn't get you ahead of what was already available. I am pretty sure my GT3040 would perform line ball with a GTX3076. The 82mm comp was limited on 98ron but with E85 it would make a low budget +350rwkw.

Mmm, sounds fun. Lots of cut knuckles all round.

Scotty, I guess we will see the difference in your mph when you get it down the track again.

My 3037 is stronger nowhere.... Lol, actually, might be winning from 2500 to 3000 cause I have boost! But thats about it!

ive entered for saturday scott

You can pre-book Calder?

Im keen to see the mph too, and if I can pre spool this setup.

I noticed there was a 3037 result of 360kw in RB land the other day but that was with the t3 rear, not sure what your housing is yet, perhaps it would make around the same being external gate also?

Isn't Micks still internal gate on stock manifold though..stick it on a 6boob with ex gate and she could pump quite a bit more..350 maybe..

I'm rather surpised Scotts made the power it did with the auto and all..I dont know if its the larger rear housing and gate or just a dyno variance but the figure hes got now is what i would of expected from the 3071...and the figure he had before is what it should have now...

What difference does the manifold make when the compressor is maxed? I would expect it to come on earlier and hold boost better but peak power won't change.

We could sit here and wonder whether the stock manifold maxed out but then we saw a similar number on Scotty's car with a larger turbine housing.

Im not certain the compressor is maxed and that a decent manifold could quite easily allow for a little extra up top..How many 3076s make 360kw with a stock manifold on RBs, I cant think of any off hand, but there are plenty on top mounts...

So you think a larger turbine on Micks would have much effect...?

A larger turbine would make it more docile everywhere and I don't think he would make any more power on E85. On 98ron for sure he would make more up top but suffer down low. When it stops making power and isn't pinging it is probably out of flow but this is just and opinion and we will need more results to know definitively.

I don't know many RB25's with GT3076 and 360rwkw but most would change the manifold when thinking about going over 300rwkw as a matter of course....then again most cars I know are run on 98ron still due to a lack of availability of E85 around here.

It will be interesting to ask a few tuners what the max of the stock manifold is with E85.

'The compressor is maxed' equates to 'The compressor cant flow any more air in the current configuration without creating excessive heat causing loss of power.'

I think with an uncompromised setup using 3 inch short cooler pipes, the best flowing cooler around with water spray, 5 inch side pipe, screamer, ported with cams, manifold etc the 3071 may hit 400 perhaps. In the real world we are compromised obviously, noise and height restrictions, lag worries, restrictive intakes, each step back you lose power but it's a road car at the end of the day.

I like that every person craves a different setup, each build I am part of requires custom design and r+d and trialling new ideas will always be beneficial even if there are no gains.

Speaking of new ideas, this is the VQ block cooler I designed. It is similar to the 'Pathfinder" cooling bypass mod but modified to suit an easy install and fitment to any VQ block. I have been testing it out with surprising results, hopefully the logging data will show a similar lowering of temps. The main benefit of this being easy cooing system bleeding which was the main thing I was after, the thread will attach to a ball valve, to which a funnel could be added for easy filling and air purge. These cars are a pita to bleed stock and I wonder if my head gasket wouldn't have failed if this was in place oem.

I haven't worked out a final cost for it yet, I will start a thread on it soon if anyone is interested. :)

Nice work mate; got to be happy when your engineering nets a good result.

I would like to see this get off the ground; it would be worthwhile for no other reason than simplifying the cooling system bleed procedure. If it improves cooling system efficiency; even better.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • 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...
