This all started cause a gearbox broke,

I think it was actually 4 but that's in the past and right now if I want to drive mine I go to the garage and turn the key :)

And when yours wasn't running, I could have wandered out the back, pushed the boat out and rip skidz too. Your car was off the road for a similar time wasn't it? ?

The car was pulled off the road running. I could have whacked a stock box in it, replace the turbo and it would have running within a couple weeks.

Can't remember it was a few years though  was about the same time you broke your engine I think

Ok ladies simmer down.

Time to start taking bets on the power figure.

Apparently 480 AWKW was the most power out of a 8374 awkw (out of an Evo) Scott has seen on his dyno.

Nick (3.0/8374) went 461, 24 psi

Pete (3.2/vcam/8374) went 457awkw, 25 psi tapering back to 21 psi (120,000 turbine speed).

I don't know. It's all dictated by that magic 127,000 RPM turbine speed. What will be more interesting will be the boost level that it'll need to get there. Going off the -5 setup, it went 441 at 19 psi. Realistically, I should have just left it there.  Boost level I'm gonna peg at no more then 25 psi, tapering back down.

i know another evo making 450kw 8374 .92 internal gate at 36 psi

why stop at 25 psi

Because of turbine speed.

127k max. If it reaches that, the turbo is done, irrespective of pressure. 

Its no secret that these things have certain parameters to keep within, just like any mechanical part.

What speed are you at with your 30 or 32 psi?

and you know 25 = 127k?

is it to keep them alive or are you saying it wont anymore power beyond 127k

i was about to turn mine up to 34psi haha

No I don't know 25 psi will equal 127K. It was an educated guess... I could be well off. We will know because the speed sensor will be going back to the ecu.

Hopefully the wheel doesn't end up out the back of the exhaust. You're bloody crazy to turn it up that much without knowing what it's spinning at. Not the turbo's fault it if fails.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
