Yeah very true Andrew, it's not going to make much of a difference.

I just rang Simon (the guy I mentioned above) and he said that it's possible to make at least a 10hp gain just by using light weight pistons and rods. 10hp isn't much, but it all adds up.

meshmesh- yeah we'll have to twist Nigel's arm to get this going I think!!! It would be more accurate if they are done on the same dyno and same day....

Merli- be more than hapy to see your beast on the dyno!!!!

sub- fantastic!!! what sort of time frame you looking at having your car ready????

Anybody out there with the Apexi AX's on a GTR (in Melb)???

Yeah, it'd be a lot better.

Same dyno, same day, same air temps etc etc.

The list goes on.

hey jack,

i had the t517z-10 on my bluer34 and it made 345kw on bens dyno, i think at 1.3.

i had t517z-8 on my silver r34. in my opinion the 8s are much nicer, im surprised u went with the 10s, u seem to be concerned about lag,then why the 10s, if u had a built engine and were aiming for bigger numbers than 350 i would understand.

i think if u drove a 8cm car , u may spew u went with the 10s.

ben may still have the dyno sheet for the apexi ax turbs, he tuned one for me about 2 years ago.

Did yo have any trouble with the turbos/oil temps ?

What sort of power difference with the T517Z 8's vs 10's ?

Jeremy

Hey Dean,

I didn't know about the two sizes until after I bought them!!!! Oh well, you live and learn I guess.... Was there a considerable difference between the 8cm and 10 cm???? As far as response and power???

Just looking at JMS's old R33 GTR drag car, and they're claiming the car made 381 rwkws on 1.3 bar, using T517Z 8cm low mount turbos.... Heres the link to the page which also provides a dyno graph....

How do they get so much power out of these turbos on 1.3 bar and stock motor???

Does this seem right???

every car jms has had they have bullshitted their power. I remeber they were saying their rb25 was making over 400rwkw with stock internals and living

I have seen 3 of their cars die, smokey deaths at that. :wavey: But hey when you have a warehouse full of spares, does it really matter? At their cost, it probably works out cheaper to keep replacing standard engines than building a decent one. :wassup:

i dont think there was a huge difference with power with 8s and 10s, but the 10s were a bit laggy, a bit 2540 ish. i didnt like them

Thats one hell of a dyno graph - very nice, I am asking the same question too, how does that engine hold together in stock form ?!

So in other words if I put some '****tail' fuel and advance the timing, should I expect a considerable difference in power (in excess of 350rwkws) without raising boost???

More boost = More power

More timing = More power

Too much of either = Detonation = Risk of engine failure.

You can phuck an engine with shitloads of timing at low boost, or shitloads of boost with low timing.

Decent fuel > Pump fuel

Timing and boost with decent fuel > Timing and boost with pump fuel

Power output with decent fuel > Power output with pump fuel

Cost of decent fuel is minimum $5 per litre = $100 per 20 litre drum

This will give you 40 litres of fuel in your tank = 2/3 full, if mixed to 1:1 ratio.

Total cost of fuel in tank = $120

Running 1.3 bar with decent fuel @ cost above = Pointless and IMO stupid.

To summarize,

Guys @ JMS or any other workshop around the country (yes, including the guys from Perth) do not have a secret, or a trick unknown to others, to make a lot more power than Ben @ RacePace or Nige @ ICE. If you want more power, go and see the boys and they will give it to you.:)

The JMS car has done 11.2, i did 11.4

JMS car had 385 rwkw, i had 330 rwkw.

The mph on JMS car is not known, i did 124 mph.

There is not much point in delving into matters any more than that.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
