*points to Matts graph*

Looks like it's ramping up fast to 20 then tapering down to 17

Interesting...what turbo? Ex gate? Return cooler or straight piping?

I'm on 15-16psi

Guessing from your slightly better response my turbo is actually slightly bigger (unless you've done more than bolt ons), however my turbo gets a bit choked up top from my cooling and exhaust setup.

Almost the same setup as yours. Yours seems to hold torque for longer though, only just.

Yeah that's weird...shouldn't that produce more power at the same RPM / speed though?

Though that assumes runs done in the same gear and diffs. I don't know how dyno dynamics calculates engine torque...obviously some sort of correction for it; maybe it's open to

variability.

R34 OP6 Hypergear Highflow, Internal gate, cheap Returnflow cooler, standard cooler piping in bay, scotty's intake pipe (which doesn't quite fit and I need to ask him to modify it since it doesn't line up with the turbo and the airbox at the same time...)

Pretty sure the restriction is the rear housing not being able to flow enough

Ah yeah. Mine is an HG SS1PU, which from memory has a slightly larger rear than the OP6 highflow...but I made him match it up to a bored out standard Nissan comp housing up front for dat dere stealth (that could also be choking me out up top). Using his preferred comp cover Stao made 290+ with an SS1PU on his car...albeit Trent's dyno.

Intake and cooler piping is standard with a return flow, so they do sound very similar setup-wise. Could also be that your turbo is simply a newer / more efficient model or a difference in engine health.

Pretty damn good turbos I must say, I've had mine on for at least 50,000 now and running flawlessly.

Brought it home yesterday, pulls like a freight train... midrange definitely changes a car way more than top end power does. before it was breaking traction (265 ad08r) at the top of 2nd and chirping 3rd, now it's breaking traction for most of 2nd and if I change into 3rd hard it'll keep it going. Need to get used to that...

Had some slight coldstart issues when I started it up tonight, started and idled fine, but touching the throttle during the first 30 seconds made it choke and revs dropped down to 400 before it recovered itself... fine when it's warmed up (approx 2 minutes)

Sooooo, best of luck to my neighbours with it idling for a while at 4:40am on Saturday morning

you should be a easy 4 sec ahead of me....

Thus, why I've got work to do... Need to build confidence and learn how to turn in correctly...

ALSO, WELL DONE EVERYONE!!!!!! Page 3876 was purely about cars, not a single mention of politics, housing markets, vase selection criteria or which limited edition sneaker is just retro enough to be cool without being pretentious...

Pretty normal for E85 to be unresponsive and choke up with a cold engine. Spark plug heat range prolly a factor too.

Once started I can use the throttle immediately, but I always roll it on slow...if I stab too quickly idle drops. It also need a bit more revs when cold and letting the clutch out for take off or it will die in the ass. After a couple mins of driving or idling it runs fine and dandy with dat super response, but I've learnt how to drive it so that I can start it and start driving basically straight away.

As for actually starting, that depends how pure the E85 is in the tank. While there's still some petrol in there, starts will be easy. With pure E85 and on cold mornings mine can take 2-3 cranks to turn over. Helps to add a minuscule amount of throttle as I turn the key. Warmer weather and it's first crank good to go.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
