So for anyone who has got an RB in the last 5 years here is a video you should watch if you are looking at upgrading from your "outdated" PFC or nistune.

I would post this in some GT-R facebook groups but the knuckle draggers that are giving people bad advice would not be able to understand this video anyway.

 

This is really old news. Not sure hearing it from a more effeminate Steven Seagal adds much more to the discussion. 

Plenty of people getting around with a variety of ECUs and mild power levels not having drama. 

Fresh belt/new tensioner and not tuned on the ragged edge seems to work well enough. CAS disc upgrades available also.  

Good info for people wanting to max out a setup or making bigger power, but nothing new in that clip that hasn't been covered here?

Correct it is really old news, yet a lot of newer people don't know about it.

Knowledge is power :D and this thread is a good example of building an setup to it's maximum potential. I wouldn't call the CAS disc and upgrade more a downgrade in sample rate.

These clips are hilarious. 

Who the f**k is this spanner lol 

 

Haha mate he has more knowledge than anyone on this forum. Not to mention is a top bloke. Has sorted issues I've had with setup a at weird hours of the day even when I was on the dyno.

Still shaking from just how COMPLETELY f**king mental this car is....

Was absolutely pinned to the seat....with my life flashing before my eyes as the RB28 pulled harder and harder with every shift.......

In a split second you've run out of road......nek minnit hard on the 6 POT brakes & damn near flying through the windscreen from the stopping power of a russian army......

There was a point in 4th where it actually felt like I swallowed my stomach.....the pull is JUST MENTAL all the way through the rev range. Once we were back to the house, I clambered out of the car and collapsed on the ground in the fetal position.... it felt like I'd gone 10 rounds with george foreman....

A twin setup, to put it simply, has absolutely farknnnn nothing on the Piggaz 2.8L/HKS Head/EFR combo.

The transient response of the EFR is absolutely unreal... its hard to put into words just how good it is, but put simply there's not a turbo out there that could come close. The power is literally just "THERE", right at your foot. It's instant & completely useable. When you're feathering the throttle it behaves like a highly strung N/A....and once you're into it it's like you've opened the gates of hell.....HOLD THE F**K ON M8..HOLD THE F**K ONNNNN...

Lag.....what lag? THERE IS NONE. Wanna take a corner at full noise? Yup, no problem. The car is so damn composed and balanced that its actually possible to drive the car for everything it's made for......the car is literally how every GTR should be built......... fkn build of the decade.

Great post  Mr Ricer, I crapped the first time I opened mine up and I was the one pushing the peddle, I have been with Paul and have never been a good passenger , so no need to say anything else, LOL

Cannot wait to see a  Hillclimb vid  from the Whale :249_whale:

Those sequentials must be mad to use on a car like Pauls :521_rocket:

Lol pigsarse has a stalker

hopefully he doesn't do a Michael Hutchins while thinking of your car and you "shift"

Lol maybe you should lend him your belt so its long enough for him to reach the ground? ?

Very nice review!  I drove this year back in 2013, before the sequential and before the EFR8374 and in all honesty - even then it was a high bar to set for "how a GTR should be" in a lot of ways.   Prior to this we had many debates about twins vs single turbos and this was meant to open my eyes in terms of how twins were better, and I have to be honest.... it did surpass my expectations at that point, but while I felt I was a bit of a rude motherf**ker at the time being allowed to drive this mans AMAZING setup and still stick to my guns with the "but it'd be better with a nice modern single on it" line, I'm glad I did and I'm glad he moved on.

I seriously can't really imagine what it is like now with the new gearbox and the EFR8374 on the roads he built it for.  I have to admit that I get the shakes a bit imagining it doing what it was built to without a cage.  But yes, even without experiencing the latest form - but yet again hats off to what you've built, Mr Pig.

@BakemonoRicer - should give the EFR thread in Forced induction a bit of a nudge now you've lost your EFR cherry, it's probably beating a dead horse to death but there are still plenty of people who are dubious of the transient response magic of these things.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
