True Scotty but in this day an age (better computers/injectors/E85) I rather have an RB26 with a 9.5 static CR than the standard 8.5 . It wouldn't turn it into an RB30 but if the quench zones were done properly it should make more part throttle torque all else being mechanically equal - on E85 .

Will increase lag.

High gas speed is where is't at... 1 inch runners, 6 into 2 before the flange so there is no open areas for the gas to slow down. etc.

Are you saying extrude honing increases lag or the stock manifolds increase lag?

Opening port diameters will slow down gas velocities, in effect giving slower than normal gas flow speeds.

Too small can also be a restriction, its a balance point.

Compressed air injection into the turbine wheel.

I'd really like to know if anyone has ever tested compressed air injection with simulated exhuast side pressures/gas flow?

... goes off to find my dive bottles.

Change to stock cams and stock diff gears, the more load you put on the motor the better the turbos respond, its why your car spools harder in 4th then 1st

It takes pressure to make pressure so the quicker you can pressurise the exhaust manifold the faster the turbo will spool

An electric super charger post turbo/s sounds like a good idea and fairly simple to manage under the guard before the intercooler

I reckon whats happening there is that a more fully opened throttle again a load that isn't allowing the engine speed to increase (high gear) means better cylinder filling so more heat energy to drive the turbine .

If you had your car on a hub dyno and could load it so it couldn't accelerate in any gear the result should be the same . Against a light load an engine accelerates easy with less throttle and not as much energy to the turbine so it accelerates more slowly - lower boost .

Well, Disco......pretty much what you said, but more easily said as "load makes boost" and in lower gears you can't actually achieve quite as high a load at any given rpm as you can in higher gears. For the reasons that you gave above (ie in lower gears the car accelerates merrily away before it can achieve the loads you get in higher gears).

To the OP. What particularly did you want to achieve. Is it off boost torque when daily driving, faster acceleration, are you falling off boost in between gear changes? What is it exactly.

The characteristics of a car is a sum of many parts not just the engine. So what do you want the car to be like?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
