hahaha why is that??

I was there the other day, with PIGGAZ. Yavuz and us were talking about turbos for GTRs and thinking of stuff that's not just the normal bolt ons and then the tomei turbos came up.

Good on you for trying something new, I'm keen to see actual results against the typical turbo choices for GTR owners :)

Also now you mention it, that place are fantastic for trying new things, instead of the same old setups time and time again. If only there were more people out there willing to try new things.

hahahahaha yeah thats mine.. thanx for the feedback yeah i know why go down the same road thats been done a million times when everyone already knows the figures those 6 or so yr old turbos will put out...

and Don Dada they are a Journal Bearing not bb

i know journal bearings are meant to spool up marginally slower than ball bearing but hey hopefully a good tune and the cams and cam gears will help out, tomei dyno graphs show that the turbos come on around 4000-4500 rpm with the supporting mods they list so im quite happy with that

Maybe I've missed it, but where is the graph you're referring to?

nothing wrong with 6 yr tubz if it's still able to out perform the current tomei offering, journal bearings are outdated

I saw ur car (GTR 7OY) as mine was getting tune touchup the other day, nice car, hope u get the result you want

Really zoom in on the graph, 2.8l + Poncams.. I wouldnt exactly call a 2.8l stroker kit w/ cams supporting mods... and if it took that engine to spool them to there at 4000-4500rpm.. then I would be alittle worried.

Looks like would be around 200-220rwkw @ 4500rpm

With a 2.8 stroker, cams, manifolds (and who knows what else)... 24psi to make ~360-380rwkw.

I think ouch...

Comparing them to "-5s" they have a much tighter trim wheel on the compressor side (less flow), but larger exd wheel. So potentially would explain why they dont make the top end with such a small trim not getting the air in.

Simlar rear to a -5 though, just larger trim so effectively more flow, and lag. Add in journal bearing as well...

I am not of confidence having seen that PDF

I wonder why they didnt compare the R34 N1, and chose a 20yr old R33 N1 lol :D

Still be interesting to see the results none the less.

It was probably cheaper, and they could make more money out of it.

the more you stroke the less revs you get but the more power so i dont see what that has to do with the spool of the turbos i could be wrong ???

Not neccesarily correct. A 2.8ltr stroker will have the same, if not more RPM capability. Depends on the head as well.

Howver 8000rpm is no problem for a 2.6 or 2.8 with a factory head.

A stroker is just shifting the power band to the right, so given you are 2.6 - move the graph to the left.

Tomei do pride themselves for being engine management specialists i dont really think they are out there to rip off people off... considering all their parts are top of the range...

and yeah i do agree with what you said about the stroke when you put it into that perspective..

guess we will find out in week when i get results fingers crossed... im sure ill be happy whatever the result only aiming for 350 awkw dont want to push the stock engine to hard and

it is only a street car

Thanx for all your input everyone

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
