Hi guys, just thought I would post up some info about my mods and current power level, for those interested in what power levels we can expect out of the VQ35, for what mods.

Back when I bought the V35 2 years ago she made 151rwkw, stock, 5AT.

Since then I have done a few 'engine' related mods including:

Kinetix intake plenum

Ground Wires

Kinetix High flow cats

Megan Racing Y-Pipe

Custom 3" mid pipe

Cheap Chinese rear muffler

CF Intake pipe

HKS panel filter

Oil Catch can

Fitted an SAFCII but NOT tuned yet - ECU is completely untuned.

So at the SAU:SA dyno day last weekend she made 175rwkw - the SAME dyno as the 151rwkw.

Note that this is a Mainline dyno - not a 'Disney' dyno like most - so power levels are much lower than other dynos around the country. For your reference an individual with an RB25 R32 had made 205rwkw on a Dyno Dymanics dyno recently, then made 155rwkw at Willalls. Admittedly he seemed to be running less boost, but other people got up to 25% lower than what they had previously dynod on other dynos around town too, and it is a common occurrence.

Anyways, that is my story so far. Enjoy the dyno graph.

And you can see my dyno run at the 6:55 mark of this video :

Also, in the video make sure you check out 5:22 - it is RH9 - the Willall Racing original - it used to make 680awkw, but is now detuned and has smaller turbos to run on the track. Still sounds angry!

Thanks. Yeah I am hoping for another 10 or so when it is tuned. Sadly they were only using 1 wideband probe on the dyno day, and during my dyno run it became dislodged, so I have nfi what my afrs are like. I assume she is running a bit rich, as per normal factory ECUs. I am also getting a resonator fitted this week, as with the HFCs and new 3" mid pipe, it is very raspy. I am assured these will not kill any power, but just take the edge off the raspy sound, and mellow her out.

Yeah turned out that Gavin's Red R35 had had a computer tune-up the week before and Martin Donnon had inadvertently left the car in valet mode. It is tuned there and has made about 340rwkw every single time it has been dyno'd before. For reference a Series 3 R35GTR with the same mods as Gavin's (mid-pipe and Cobb tune) made 361rwkw on the same dyno the other week.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
