Thanks mate :rofl: If the weather holds up I'll get to try out the Nittos tommorrow.

Yes, very true. Stock and modified GT-Rs are very different beasts to tame, naturally stock being the easier of the two.

Emre- they're very impressive times there, 124mph!!!! I guess if I get my 60' times in the low 1.73, I might gain a tenth of a second or two.....

Calder was fantastic last night, had a total of about 7 runs, not that many cars, and perfect weather.....

Penfold- yes bolt straight up, providing u get the kit which suits the rb26.... From what I've heard they are an awesome turbo, very responsive and make good power.....

Anyone here wanna share their experiences with these turbos?? *looks at vspecv*

A good friend of mine is running a single AX53B60 on a Pulsar GTi-R - this thing is a rocket! Lag? What lag!? Full boost by 3000rpm! He also confirmed they are about the same as the HKS 2530 - perhaps a touch better.

Just wondering who you have had good tuning experiences with in WA as I may be looking for someone soon.

The best in the west certainly does not use dynapack and his dyno dynamics dyno is extremely accurate - if anyone can reduce a chart I will attach my latest chart (not the one below)
i have only fitted them to 1 car a customer running a motec, but they were awesome. better than 2530s, peak power pretty much the same, just more responsive.

Hmm.. that's very interesting: less lag is always good :P Anyone got actual figures, or better yet, a comparison between the two?

LW.

hi got the t78 which spooled up round 1bar on 5500, what type of power figures are the t517zs you have rated at in total as a pair 600hp 650hp 700? and at what boost? might be worth swapping to keep it all undercover thats all.

:cooldance

Hi Emre,

Its not that I want more power (not yet!!), I was just stating that how the JMS drag car can get 381 rwkws on 1.3 bar boost?!?!?!?

they usually run a mixture of toulene, acetone and avgas, you could say its rocket fuel... it makes ALOT of difference to the output of the car, much more boost and timing can be fed into the engine without detonation coming on, and thats how they make there power

they do it with most of there dyno runs, marketing i would assume, as not many people know what fuel they run and all they see is there power figure

they made 293rwkw on an sr20det silvia with a single T517Z, fuel ratio was as below:

avgas:toulene:acetone -----> 6:3:2

The T517Z's are rated at 600 hp, got my engine rebuilt last month and got dynoed a 335rwkws at 21psi...... full boost by 5000rpm

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
