Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

The exhuast was farked when it made 330rwkw, 2.3inch front pipes into a 3inch catback than went down to 2.5inch in the cannon.

It's now got 3inch tuned length front pipes into a 3.5inch merge. Decat, and I'm just waiting on the 3.5inch tomei ti catback to turn up.

See how it all works out when the new system on bolted up. Than jez can do a full tune on it, cam gears, and all.

It's got type b pon cams.

Azza's made awesome power on the same setup I the same dyno.

His got a forged motor, but my motor is 160 across all 6 so it shouldn't b an issue.

C what happens

Not exactly the turbo's fault with the little 5's trying to blow out of that man.

So what's considered responsive with -5's? 1 bar at 3600 rpm?

from memory my rb2630 with -10s made 1bar @ 3krpm, I'd need to dig it up as I posted my results in each gear on gtr UK forum

Yea I no, the prob I had was I made up at 4inch system took it back to the dyno and only made 7kw more.

Im just saying -5 on something like your motor is crazy. It deserves a decent turbo. Gunna b awesome!!

Next time your under the bonnet man, could u have a look at what yours are set at? Maybe take a pic?

You won't get that on a 2.6l unless it's fully loaded up :)

On the street it's around 4000-4200rpm in 3rd for a 2.6l if memory serves me correct

u are the first unhappy -5 customer I have heard...am I allowed to ask who is your tuner?

Add me to the list then for street/hill runs/motorkhana stuff the -5s are shithouse on a 2.6l

Cars was significantly faster with the smaller turbos coming on much faster in a on/off throttle scenario as -5s are lazy and need a stroker.

Interesting as I found my other gtr with -5s very responsive. That was a 2.6 as well.

What do u think is a good turbo for the application u refer to above?

Its not a loaded question- just like to hear your opinion.

Well given I've said many times over that I had -9s taken off to put the -5s on (so i can comment on both, unlike most)... Wouldn't say it's particularly difficult to come to such a conclusion :merli:

I've had GTSS, GTRS & -5's on a 2.6ltr (as well as -10s on a 26/30 which Paul has driven).

^ Absolutely you can comment on -9's back2back with -5's as you've had both...really is horses for courses though as I personally found GTSS's way too small (not sure how -9's compare to GTSS though)

I think it depends on the sort of driving you do. Guys that do the 'on/off/on' driving IE hillclimbs, skid pan work and track work will always favour the small stuff.

Steveo overlayed a 2.6 with SS's and my 2.8 with 5's and down low they were pretty much the same. Top end, well we know what happened.

2.6 with -5's is still lethargic, however peoples definitions of being lazy/lethargic/laggy are all different.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.

      You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought.

      Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.

      iPad gauge cluster

      By PranK · Posted

      So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
