are you able to overlay the -5s results?

Different dyno

-5 was RWD

8374 is 4WD.

i can, but ignoring dyno's it feels like the car has a 3.4 in it. Absolutely NO comparison.

That's where she ended up on E80.

120k turbine speed.

Scott said it will go 500 but he was happy leaving it there.

Awesome effort mate.

Monday was a public holiday over here in the West and I spent some of the day reading through your thread again from start to finish.

Your honestly and openness in your results and parts choices etc - well done mate and a big thanks.

You have convinced me to move my ass and get moving on updating my setup ;)

Awesome thread and car - can we get some updated pics of the whole car....

Cheers man.

Yeah. Sure.

Things to do;

- wash it

- wheel alignment

- remove redundant gauges and boost controller from car

- make catch can for box ? (Although it's stopped spewing. Self level FTW)

- farken drive it!

Pick up is tomorrow. 

Thats the most power anyone has made on Scotts dyno with an 8374, with still some left in the tank.

That's roughly 26 psi tapering to 23 ish psi topend. 122,000 RPM turbine speed. If we went all in it would have been lucky to see another 0.5psi uptop. Turbo is pretty much done. 

Has anyone done a comparison with GTX twins? Hi or low, just a modern twin setup vs a modern single. 

Single still makes way more sense in terms of packaging, but I'd be curious as to what the differences were. 

Was Geoff saying they are doing twin baby EFR setups?

Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure but I think mine kept making power from 25 up to 30 psi where I told tuner to stop due to stock bottom end. The 8374 has made 550kw at 34psi on JEM's dyno before.

Maybe it was out if its efficiency range and exceeding safe turbine speeds - say past 27psi - but it made power. TBH i think JEM's dyno is a little on the happy side but the tune is good so I'm not bothered.

Mine sees 31 psi regularly and no issues in the year it has been on the car.

Boost is almost meaningless. Throw the gauge in the bin.

Want more boost? Use a less effecient setup. Put a heap of shit intercooler on it, whatever.

Top end, the boost between Pete's 3.2 and my 2.8 are the same. The difference? Most of it would be the head.

Two car's, one with a well thought out head and one with a stocker at the same turbine speed will be reading vastly different pressures. 

Pressure doesn't always mean "x" flow when comparing two setups. If I could make the same power at 10 psi, I would.

Your 30 psi may be reading the same turbine speed as my 23 psi for example. Thing is you don't know where the turbo is without a speed sensor.

As Piggaz set, the boost pressure is a tiny part of the story.  Without going far at all into the big world of turbo matching to engines etc - I'll try and give a very simple picture of what the difference between your motor at 7000rpm and Piggaz one could hypothetically be.

Say your engine at 7000rpm is running 31psi - so pressure ratio of 3.1, and has ~105% VE at those rpm.  You get a relatively bullshit but for the point of this story a reasonably descriptive 2.6 x 3.1 x 105% = 8.46 effective litres of air moved per engine cycle at 7000rpm.

Now lets looks at Piggas HEAVILY developed head/everything setup with a 2.8 litre stroker.   Lets say its at ~24psi (pressure ratio 2.63) and has ~115% VE at those rpm... 2.8 x 2.63 x 115% = 8.47.

It is entirely possible to have the same amount of air moved with much less boost using a different engine combination and the same turbo, it is entirely plausible that Piggaz' turbo is working as hard at 24psi as yours is at 31psi.    Put the same turbo on a 4G63 and you could run 35psi through it and have a LOWER turbine speed... ie, it is running more boost and is actually safer.

We talk about turbine speed being the problem, not boost.   You have no turbine speed sensor so we have no idea whether you are at a safe place or not, but if Piggaz tried running 31psi at high rpm I am certain he'd run into some kind of limit.   There is the possibility yours is actually fine, its just that the power level etc suggests that its in a place we'd not normally expect but if the dyno is happy and its making the power fine then it may actually be all good.

What kind of trap speeds are you running?  I am guessing Piggaz car could be in the territory of 140mph.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
