This thread is now delivering f**k yea Can we have a dyno graph with a single, twins and a third axis for bench press weigh for comparison

Twins on a RB will always be shit, all of a sudden the Muricans and Canadians are experts with RBs.

Look guys, I'm the guy who had the white 34 with 2863's in -5 housings, it made 489kwatw but at 33psi. It was a mental track car, I actually never got a proper time with that power figure on new tyres

here are some pics of a local newcastle engine builder & his latest project.

gtx snails with a few other goodies...take note of the intake plenum & flux capacitor. absolutely awesome fabrication work!

Hey Marko,

did that engine or intake and cylinder head come from VIC?

some very familiar parts on there ? :)

I'm just about to do a cartridge drop of a pair of GTX 2863's into my -5's next week with the modified front -5 housing, I have seen GCG have said it wouldn't work? but I'm pretty sure you can't go backwards than having plain -5's.
I am running this on an RB28 HKS engine, and was even looking at the 2867's, but I'm not very confident I need the extra power, and the response would start to suffer a bit.
My -5's have a slight oil leak developing and this is the reason for the change, but I was worried about the 2" -5 housing as opposed to the 3" one on the complete turbo, do you any of you really see the benefit of changing the whole turbo over when the -5 mods looks very viable, especially with a drop in type approach by comparison?
It looks like status saw some good results from this approach, has anyone else done the -5 rebuild with GTX cartridges?
I seriously this needs to be looked at, because it would be great for people with -5's to upgrade far easier and cheaper than the other way.
Sean's job looks great though, and would be the other way I would do it with a complete GTX item, bar the exhaust housing.

Just got my car back with the GTX2863's in my -5 housings, and it is heaps better, I have 30psi with 638hp at the wheels on E85 now, and the response and power in the mid range picked up heaps.

Cams are now 272/ 9.7's I would probably go back to 260's for a perfect combo, but even the big overlap with this GTX upgrade it feels pretty darn near perfect for response and power. I went to the track yesterday, and the corner exits were pretty much bang on, even with 2nd gear short shifted into 3rd it still had plenty of mid range to keep it pulling really well.
The green graph was the power level I had last time, and now this is the new figures. I unfortunately had coil pack failures on the 3rd lap into my day, and the power level had to be dialed back down. I was trying to break the lap record for fastest street car record in QLD and I only had 2/10's of a second to have it. With the extra 80hp I was sure to have it, and the laps where everything was fine, I was driving pretty carefully whilst monitoring temps etc from my recent head gasket change and turbo upgrades. I am now selling my car and don't know if I will have a chance to try again. The potential for this thing now is truly getting crazy, it has been an amazing car.

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      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?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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
