Bottom line: whatever you do to a 2 litre you can do to a 2.5 and enjoy approximately 20% more of it

There is no replacement for displacement (within reason)

There has been no amazing production engine development for bottom end torque since these engines were created; VVT is as good as it gets for broadening the power band, but that is a mid-top end power increase.

Greg listen to Michael not Frank when your building your engine. I remember when he built it he mentioned there were issues with it that needed addressing

What part do I run factory Leroy?

Also Evo X, short gearing SST, pretty much no lag and always on boost. Pretty much 6th gear at 80km/h

I do listen to Michael, who pretty much agrees with anything we've thrown out there. Yes, a GTX3076R in a .82 is small for a 2.8, but it isn't small to the point where you smash an engine to pieces... people run them on Supras. (went bigger anyway)

Is that my dyno plot? In depth research lol

My setup is 16psi throughout, with a laggy IWG highflow inside a Nissan comp cover for stealth. The SR, with what sounds like an over-boosted small turbocharger at 22psi...is not really impressing me. It would be a quick car, but put a smaller EWG turbo on mine that doesn't get choked in the top end...it'll move the graph down 500rpm off the spool and make much the same power as both of us up top, albeit not as stealth.

It is your dyno plot, but this SR is also internally gated, low mounted, stock manifold and bleeding off to about 16psi up top. It is a very similar setup man.

It may have been 2nd gear it decided to slip around on, but it was very much under the (50kmh!) speed limit on a side street, rolling onto boost when it happens, very very very long way from any clutch dumps!

My point was is that "if you have 2.5L you can't ever go back to a 2.0 in an evo or SR" and I reckon nah man, the difference would be miniscule given the cars these engines are put in. I reckon they make more power/torque/whatever per cc than a RB does :P

We'll have to agree to disagree...I haven't driven a 2 litre that's wowed me down low and held it through the rev range yet. Evos especially with their weight disadvantage - feel like you have to give them heaps to get them moving, and a Skylines are bad enough for that.

Stock internals (besides springs/retainers) k20 e85 prescision 5831 .63

14psi 300kw

17psi 320kw

Since its 'MURICA take off 5-10% because 'MURICA.

Too bad it wrong wheel drive.

still respectable is it not, inb4 gtfked honda boy

12080330_931001243645927_881850058088859

inb4 someone says that shit will blow up, this pretty much standard for a turbo k20, 400-450kw is when it gets unreliable with stock motors, but still easily achievable :|

No one is talking peak power... Talking about lag/displacement/driveability

Put a big turbo on anything and it will make big power. Just lot of money and go fast bits making it happen

From what i've driven, high comp makes the boost instant, full song around 4k till 8-8.5, which is alright with hondie ratios

Car is 1ton like pulsars, 2L plentyful off boost, gets off line really easy, but then we're drifting off to the silvia vs skyline chassis hear

From what I'm seeing in that graph, definitly not peaky, lots of usable power

Referring to the 300kw one above, is similar set up to mates integra.

Im just bored ok

felt like spamming

f*k yas

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
