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nothing wrong with 6 yr tubz if it's still able to out perform the current tomei offering, journal bearings are outdated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

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
