11.6 @119mph - Not a bad effort, was expecting mid to high 11's...

"Jack" said: > Not a Bad effort???

You're kidding me right! that's awesome jack, well done. To add salt to the wounds, I take it this was on street tyres aswell.

With the 8K launches, what sort of Clutch/Flyweel are you running? I've noticed since I fitted my Ogura Twin Plate and Lightened Flywheel, normal driving off the line is so much easier, and it doesn't bog down.

I could be wrong, but wouldn't some cam options help with the lower to mid power?

Either way jack, you've got (11sec) bragging rights.. gotta be happy with that :rofl:

summoner - ready for battle!!!!! hehe

meshmesh - sounds sweet, let me know exactly when and I'll try and organise it... Do I hear a challenge?!?!? j/k

Well guys just got back from Calder tonight and if dyno figures aren't your cup of tea, well then heres the results form the 1/4 mile:

11.6 @119mph

Not a bad effort, was expecting mid to high 11's...

One thing I noticed was how hard it was to launch the bastard!!!! With the standard turbos I would normally launch it at 6.5 - 7k rpm, and it would more or less braek traction but tonight, it was bogging down hard off the line at about 7k rpm, and couldn't better a 12.3 all night, with 2.2 60ft times!!!!!

This became too frustrating so there was not much else to do than hit 8k rpm and side step the clutch!!!! and presto, an 11.9 followed by an 11.6 on the very last run...

Obviously being the 10cm version of the T517Z's, it wouldn't get boost off the line at around 7k rpm, causing it to bog down to 2k rpm, which resulted in 2.2-2.4 60ft times...

So therefore I might have to do something about the lag, not too keen on 8k launches, maybe adjust cam gears for low end power, or even change dump pipes, just to get the turbos boosting earlier....

nice effort jack, but still gotta be in the back of your mind you just spent approx $8k to go .5 sec faster and you also lost some driveability and now have a car thats faster, but i doubt its nicer to drive that a stock 11 sec factory turbo car.

ive had from 268kw @ the wheels with stock turbos and 450kw@ the wheels with big twins and everything in between and the stock turbo car was the best to drive by a long shot.

Simon- yeah, was done on street tyres (Hankook Ventus K104 265/35/18), and didn't touch anything since i picked it up from Ice, same boost, BP Ultimate fuel....

I've got a Daiken Exedy twin plate (push type), really bites hard!!!

I think your right, might have to look into cams, or even the Trust front pipe with separate waste gate pipe, might bring boost on earlier!!!!

C'mon why don't you take your car to calder one night, wanna see what she runs!!!!

Dean- yeah spent that money to go 0.5 sec faster, but what happens when I run 1.7 bar with '****tail' fuel and more timing??? Might have spent the money, but its still not at full potential just yet....

As far as driveability, the car hasn't changed one bit, the idle is the same, the clutch is the same, just the lag is the difference.... not sure what your referring to there....

driveability, i was refering to lag. even if u lean on it some more, u will probably only get a few more tenths. going fast is what its all about but, there is always a compromise.

for me its all or nothing now, i like standard turbo cars. fast but reliable and nice to drive or all the way with a big single or twins and 400+ at the wheels.

dont think i will ever do a small twin mod again.

Well Dean you've had that many GTR's with every bloody possible turbo upgrade so I see that your probably over it now!!! I see where your coming from, but for me its the first time so its all a 'learning experience'....

When I bought these turbos, I wasn't aware of the two sizes, so basically just had to do with what I had....

I think your right, might have to look into cams, or even the Trust front pipe with separate waste gate pipe, might bring boost on earlier!!!!

If you decide to go for the trust front pipes, I might buy some aswell with ya. Dunno where you plan on getting them from, but Brent from Nengun has them for around $1100-1200 landed, Maybe he'll do us a better deal for 2 sets?

I'm waiting for ICE to do some final touches to tuning, then I'll take it. Also waiting for a mate to finish his STI 03, should be pushin 250kw at all four, so we can run em. PS: I want to run to my cousin who's got the new Suzuki GSX-R 1100 or 1000 "dunno the exact model" he reckons it does flat 10's?? would they let us run with a bike?

Vspec, (or is that Dean? from UPI)

Weren't you running these turbo's on one of your GTR's? considering jack's situation what would you recommend to fix the problem?

yes they do run 10flat mesh mesh!

yep its dean upi.

i have never tried to rectify the lag issues with my t517-10s, but i was running hks dumps aswell.

i really liked my t517-8s, but thought the 10s were to much like 2540s which i didnt like.

yep jack, ive spent too much money on these suckers and im a little over it. i was just thinking about all the turbos ive used, check this out for a list.

2530s, 2540s, t517z-8, t517z-10, td05s, kkk26 twins, t78, ive also been involved with a few others running t04, t88 and apexi ax5360s.

i loved the ax5360s the best, if i was upgrading they would be my choice followed by, 2530s and t517-8s.

im trying to do a deal on another r33 at the moment , if it works out im likely going with one of bens garret singles, something pretty small though.

Simon- definetly be in for the 'group buy' on those front pipes, i was looking at getting them from nengun too, might drop Jason from greenline an email aswell....

Looking forward to seeing you run, all I can say is don't expect to get the best time first go!!! Although with 2530's you might not have to launch it as hard as me.....

As far as running against your mate with the bike, make sure he's right next to you in line, and then ask the track marshall to run together....

the apexis were awesome, i had never driven a car with them before, ben tuned the car and we fitted a motec.

power was nothing special as the customer wasnt interested in all out grunt as he wanted a relaible track car, i think around 320kw.

it was 2 years ago now, but remember jumping in the car and thinking damn, this car feels like it has the response of stock turbos, off the top of my head i reckon full boost around 4000rpm

Sweet, sounds like a good package, was looking at gettin these but didn't like the 4k price tag....

Good effort Jack, well done mate.

As you noticed, it gets a little harder from here on. The car is harder to launch, because you have more power and a very grippy clutch. The only thing that will give now is the traction which will hurt your 60 footers.

With my stock GTR i could get 1.7, 1.8 60 footers very frequently, now it's a challange to nail them.

If you can scan a couple of slips, post them up.

Cheers Emre, will scan the time slips later on when I get back from work....

Yeah noticed how hard it is to launch it, my best 60' was 1.82, when I did the 11.6....

What boost/fuel/power were you running when you got an 11.4???

1.4 bar pump fuel got me a best of [email protected] mph. 60 foot was 1.73

Best mph on pump fuel is 124.5.

How is Calder these days. I always say to myself "will never come to this shithole ever again" but end up going again. When i was there last, i managed only 4 runs and theye were all over an hour apart.

    • 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 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
