Area under the curve is more important than top end power IMO, your car will be mental. That's why i designed my car the way i did. 

Even at my relative power level i find for street work, it's getting to the point the extra power is useless. 

I'm loving my current tune on 98, i can't wait to see it on E85 again.

I believe Scott is spending all day on it today. No idea where it's all upto apart from the information I've posted.

Cant see it making anymore than 480 awkw. That's as much as Scott has seen out of a 8374.

how hard are you planning on pushing it - boost wise?

Whatever 125,000 Rpm is. It will be higher early on then taper off as the engine consumes more air. 

So. Bring on 125 k ASAP and leave it there. Boost, who cares but at guesstimate, 30 ish psi as it comes on (late 3000's/4000 ish) and mid 20's at 8000 rpm. With any luck, hopefully less "boost".

interesting. looking forward to it.

Just for fun rather than anything else - i compared my power in the midrange compared to yours - i'm at ~100kw at 3700 - you've got ~270kw - same turbo lol

I need me a stroker kit

Has the fluff fallen out of Ernie yet? Otherwise not a real EFR :4_joy:

Lol. When are you going to man up and buy one. Piss off that nug PTE ?

Update time!!!!

Fuel is E56 only

Still not bringing it on as hard as possible, just letting it come up as normal (not tuning via turbine speed YET). 

Turbo is a EFR 8374/1.05 AR turbine housing.

300 KW at 4000 ish, 461.5 KW at 6000 RPM then it falls over. I didn't see this coming but the issue is the turbine housing is too small! The next size up is a 1.45 AR which is the same housings they used on the indy cars. They were saying that the head is  just breathing like a weapon. Funnily enough, both Petes and Intune's car were able to stretch to 8000 RPM even though their engines are larger!

For the time being I will take it back and enjoy it for a while. If I put the 1.45 on, Scott thinks it will see 500 KW and make even more through the middle by 20-30 KW. However, i'll lose a tad at 3000 ish RPM.

I suppose I better get used to short shifting. Lucky I have 6 gears. 

For those of you who are hooked up on boost numbers, 25 psi at 3850 ish RPM but that will improve again. Pretty sporty for a lazy, laggy single turbo :1_grinning:

Go put a 6258 on your car.

I built mine so I could have a strong top end . I want to keep it and as tried to get it as good as I could down low . 

I don't want to loose anything from the top end, I still can rev it to 8000 if I want .  Just like it a bit different than most I guess :/ 

That head you had done is something else , cannot wait to see it all working together, what a machine :wub:

I just found a pic of you image.jpeg.b25b27a9dbf556a841d944083f03f787.jpeg

 

Congrats Paul, now enjoy it for awhile and mull on can of worms thats just been opened but was hiding there in front of you.

What brake set up are you running ? Reason I ask you may find that other things may need upgrade first, like stopping ,fine tune the nadling (think you sorted that but f**k me too much alcohol brain damage cant remember shit) then sort last power upgrade, all just subtle stuff. Then you'll have the ultimate skyline weapon.

Brakes are sorted, mate. 365 mm 6 pot fronts/350 mm 4 pot rear alcons. Need to change the front pads, the ones in there are woody nuggets!

Suspension and arms are all sorted, although it needs a wheel alignment. The whole rear end has been out to replace the sub frame bushes.

Cant believe I'm out of rear housing. Quite strange that the 3.2 and 3.0 can go to 8000 rpm but the little 2.8 cant. I suppose those polished ports ain't so bad after all ;).

I have in my head the 1.45 isn't a straight bolt on. The housing absolutely MASSIVE!!!! Adrian (bloke from Insight) said if they made a 1.6 you'd put it on haha.

Data is showing 46 Psi in the exhaust manifold. 

Im heading out tomorrow to sit down with Scott. Grab as much data as I can.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
