Well I for one am very impressed. Thats a fantastic power curve.

Its a prick of a job, but i have done it on my hks2530s, turbonetics make an oem size dual port actuator (part is 30326) that fits the hks actuator bracket. Need 1/4 UNF 80mm actuator rods from gcg for it to fit, and a 4 port mac valve but its a good option to keep the gate shut.

Are your gates creeping open at high exhaust manifold pressures or are the turbines just falling over?

I guess at those flow rates your post-turbine exhaust pressure becomes quite significant.

At those levels i'd imagine it would be getting quite high and pushing the 25psi actuators open. Ill let my mate know about the actuators if he feels like pushing it further although he did say its plenty quick now so I'm sure it'll stay like this for a bit.

Slightly off topic, but what is the ignition system on that car?

Im aiming for similar boost on e85 and am having ignition issues with old nissan coils.

Try ditching the standard ignitor and running an aftermarket item with new coils.

they're the all-in-one R34 Coils so no igniter required.

if healthy OEM coils can handle 660awhp@ 28+ psi in the car above, that's good enough for me. I'll just get a new set, but if i need to go beefier I'd be interested to hear what Ryan1200 and His mate have done.

Results from the 2530's with the GTX67 front wheels.

Ran 28psi and the 25psi actuators wouldn't hold so they left it there.

618hp was a 33% toluene tune and 661hp was E85 on the 2530's.

f**king f**k. haha. They always want to hit 20psi at around 4700rpm.

My HKS -5s are ass because I cannot get them to come on earlier than 4700rpm no matter what I try (cam gears, timing etc)

Are the GTX67 wheels bigger? I was considering putting GTX60 wheels in and grinding out stock covers, and HKS rear housings. Surely that would help?

Gtx 67 are 67 mm

-5's are 60.1 mm. So much bigger!

Excellent news. Surely the 60mm GTX versions will come on much earlier! All I want is 1k rpm earlier spool, then I won't be grabbing gears so much on the circuit.

1000 rpm from a slightly smaller front fan is not going to happen! Cast vs "billet" or not!

captain obvious here again... want that response? twin scroll single turbo.. job done, less heat, less manifold:plenum pressure, less hoses, less so much shit... less lag :)

To get the gtx60 wheels into the -5 compressor housing you will need to sleeve it cause the gtx60 wheel is smaller

I know this, hence why I said I would grind out stock housings to suit.

1000 rpm from a slightly smaller front fan is not going to happen! Cast vs "billet" or not!

Do you think I could even get close? Like 500-700rpm less lag? Maybe 20psi by 4,000rpm?

I remember I had some wanker on facebook try and tell me he had -5s on at 3750rpm with a stock motor. Some people talk so much shit...

haha I am one of "those" and want to keep the twins.

I'm currently running +10in, -8ex and it's still laggy lol.

I went as far as +12in and it still didn't help.

fuark that's going to punish your top end though..... set it back to 0/0 (or close) dw... comes on at 5k rpm, might as well spin it to 9k rpm like the Mine's GT-R..

That way you will have 4k worth of rpm to play with.

I've noticed at +10in it seems to fall over at about 7000-7400rpm

I will pull it back to +8in or +6in to get me to 8k. Exhaust just made it f**king fast everywhere. Not sure why the hell -8ex did that.

Nervous though. not sure how far I can go before I break something

    • 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.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
