340kw on -7's?!

It's possible on e85

They are supposed to make about the 310~320 mark on 98 at their absolute maximum (as in, probably shouldn't be running them that high)

On E85... 340 could be achievable but I don't know how maintainable it would be... Could be a happy dyno :P

Back on topic though... I would be interested in finding out how you find the -5's... I have -7's in my car from factory and I think one of them has busted an oil seal... blowing a lot of white smoke under heavy boost. I will be taking them out soon and checking them out and seeing if they are worth rebuilding or upgrading to a -9 or a -5

Heya R34 LINER,

I'm curious to know where did you get your info regarding the max power achievable with the -7s as there's a heap of variables involved!

Dyno was a DynoDynamics in Standard shootout mode (6F with standard 15kph/sec ramp rate), so the number should be pretty reliable.

Mark :)

Hey GOD12A,

Unfortunately the info about the 310-320 number is purely off the many threads and information that I have obtained from mechanics/tuners and owners. This is the number that averages out most commonly and I haven't found any other consistent information that suggests to me otherwise. I should have clarified that that number is maximum for what you would hope to call a safe level? I have no doubt you could wind them up further but I doubt they would last long enough to call them reliable? The comment on the Dyno is just an example of 1 of the many variables as you stated. I have no doubt other people have other experiences that contradict what I have found along the way and I can't claim any of this data is first hand from my own build. I can only base it on what I have found so far. If you have your own experiences that contradict what I have found so far I am more then happy to hear it :) seeing how I am in a position to either keep or upgrade my current -7's I would be very interested to hear...

Cheers,
Aron

Heya R34LINER :)

I'm confident to push the turbos till they stop making power, as long as they have a clean oil and coolant supply with no objects thrown in the compressor cover, they should hold together!

We tuned up to 21psi and didn't find the turbos to be any restriction. We only stopped winding boost into her as the Haltech internal MAP sensor maxes out at 1.5bar (22psi) and I have no interest in a 3bar sensor as it'll tempt me to see how far she'll go (likely ending up with the OE bottom end destroying itself!)

The current power output is fun and thrashable for now, so no use pushing the limits just yet ;)

Mark :)

Now that is interesting...

So just to clarify, how much power are you getting at the wheels? What other supporting mods? (obviously Injectors and Fuel pump but did you go d-jetro or bigger AFM's?)

Heya R34LINER,

340rwkw

OE fuel pump, 550 injectors, Haltech Platinum Pro (MAP, so no AFMs)

Mark :)

hey're cheap enough. Run them hard and if they pop, buy more.

Yea for me its the taking them in and out that is pain in the arse :P trying to do it in the engine apparently is a nightmare and the only other option is to take the engine out soooo rock and a hard place...

OP, if it were me (with a standard bottom end), I'd be putting -9's on it, pegging it at 23 psi or so and make a responsive 340-350 on E85 - seeing that you're going down the E85 route anyway. The car will have much more area under the curve than a -5 car. I really think -5's on a 2.6 are still a bees dick too big. They really need a stroker.

I'd offer my own car up for a drive but my box is

deaded and its not really a fair comparison to what you're going to get with a stock engine.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
