Nothing wrong with the stock BOV.

Agree, hence the reason for sticking with stock bovs. Also have replaced the actuators with HKS items.

Green line is GT -RS's, split dumps, HKS front pipes and a kakimoto full mega N1 cat back.

No boost drop with your exhaust gear? Similar specs with HPI dumps, Mines front pipe pro, Amuse Titan R1 on mine.

I should have also mentioned that both tunes are on BP98. I was somewhat surprised by the power GTX made on low boost.

Cams 260 at 10.85

Head

Went from 86.5 to 87 mm Pistons. My oil pump decided to shatter. And a bit more boost.

For comparison when tuning in the new setup, it went 441 at the same boost level with more mid range. Then the boost controller got turned on.

Extra boost didn't net much in the way of peak numbers (30 kW or so), the midrange however was totally different. 75 kW through the middle iirc from controller off to the full effort.

I knew that head jobs are worth it

Which setup are you talking about?

With the RS's it was choked to hell and back. Ran it upto 30 psi and it gained a whopping 12 kW (414 rwkw)

You wouldn't be suggesting the Japanese catalogue parts were restrictive and shit would you? cause that would be a travesty

Not suggesting anything, just laying it out how it happened. Take what you will from the results.

I was referring to your -5 tune. Did you experience boost tapering on -5 with the exhaust set up you mentioned?

With it would up it would hit 29-30 at 4300 or so then taper back to 26 iirc. Seemed like they're just out of puff

Drop the gain back a tad and it would hold 25 the whole way through.

maybe we should do a group buy for machined comp covers?

would anyone be keen?

I would be, it would interesting if we could get a surge port in the insert as well.

I've got some -5s sitting here that Im musing about putting some GTX wheels into. im running E85 and HKS2530s with B poncams on a 2.6 at the moment and am concerned with overspeeding them as I dont have a compressor map. running 23psi and ~400awkw currently.

even comparing the GT and GTX 60mm maps, the GTX moves more air at the same turbo speed, and has a far higher upper speed limit being billet. wanting to run 25-28psi, goal is for relatively responsive 450kw with [email protected].

depends on cost, otherwise I'd throw the lot and go an EFR8374/Precision 6262 or gen2 6062. I do like the idea of a stock engine bay making 700hp though.

Leave it as it is and run 25-28psi through the 2530's, like piggaz did to make ~470kw

People were making that power on those turbos 10yrs ago.

is your 2.6ltr still stock internals?

you could sell those -5 housings to me?

He runs 5's not 2530's & theres no way a 2.6L with a stock head will make that kinda power on them ;) Edited by Mick_o

fresh JHH built 26, forged 87mm pistons, forged rods, r34 crank, ARP studs everywhere, ATI balancer, Tomei oil pump, PAC beehives with 105lb seat, head has been clearanced for big cams later on and ports cleaned up. new guides and recut valves. currently only using [email protected] cams. port/turbine matched manifolds, HKS2530s, midori seibi 3" dumps and mines equal length front pipe 70x2 to 85mm. everything ceramic coated. and a 120mm intercooler.

is there any real difference at 25+psi between the -5s and 2530s in practice? im concerned being such old tech they won't like higher pressure ratios as much as the garrets, especially the GTX. for all i know the -5 and 2530s are identical except for marketing and a BS trim value.

I know, but everyone is aware by now that they are albeit the same thing. If anything, 2530 will flow more ;)

We are talking turbos. They will/can/have do/done it.

The "bs trim value" is the size of the actual wheel, the -5 has a slightly smaller compressor wheel, not sure about the turbine wheel tho

But 3530s will generally slightly out flow -5s

I figured it was just a point of difference for marketing reasons for HKS gear, so garret wasn't encroaching on turf with the -5s.

just did the calcs if trims are accurate, -5 inducer is 47.325mm.. hks is 47.7mm. so i guess that's somewhat "significant"

Sweet. if the compressor wheel is up to it I'll wind up the wick on them and see where I end up. will hopefully rig up a differential pressure sensor across the turbine to see what its up to. I've got a EGT port in each manifold and the narrowband bung in the dump to connect it to.

cheers all.

iv seen hks 2530's on a STD Rb26 with long duration low lift cams hit 430kw on 2bar.

the gtx2863 @2bar has a better chance of giving you that 700 fly hp on a 2.6ltr though

Edited by mr skidz

Thanks. I do understand what you say about the exhaust. I have replaced front pipe and the full exhaust - no difference. I know of two cars cracking over 500kw with similar spec exhaust systems - steady boost curve all the way. I suspect it is the stock bov ruining it for me.

Anyhow, on to better stuff. Here are the dyno graphs.

2014 = -5

2015 = GTX

Just overlayed these in excel quickly.. there is nothing in it other than 0.16 Bar more boost on the -5s. interesting! at same boost level i guess you'd be looking at an extra 25kw or so.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
