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

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
