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

4000rpm =/= instant

tweeked Std turbo here.. with a BOV that promises 15% better response again...(not the reason i bought it) that's as good as response as your really going to get.

and I can light them up at 30 in 3rd..(on the deca skid pan with a kick and maybe a puddle)

4000rpm =/= instant

Different things

there "turbo lag" where how long it takes for the turbo to spool up as soon as you step on it (say at 5000rpm you should be at full boost, you're cruising at 5000 cause you're deaccel, then you punch the gas, the lag time between none to full boost)

and "turbo lag" where how early in the rev range full boost is experienced

So easy to hit 4000rpm with honda ratios, heck we sit at 3.5k rpm at 100 in 6th with a type r box

If I'm driving hard and want good response:

Step 1 is BEING IN THE RIGHT GEAR!
You don't need power at 2000rpm, you should have already downshifted two gears and getting it into the peak power band of the engine/turbo setup.

So for me, response isn't about RPM, it's how long the turbo it takes to come onto full boost when I stomp the loud pedal and I'm already at 5000rpm.

A decent power curve is nice below there, makes everything nicer on the street. But don't expect to make balls to the wall power AND have all the power down low in a turbo car, or it'll run out up of go after you get above the midrange (which is where you'll be if you want to go fast)

I'm talking about manuals of course, because fk autos

Hehe, i like how we both used 5k rpm :rolleyes:

What car you driving these days Jonoe?

stock dc2r for daily, ek going under some works but will take a while since most of my money just went into holidays. Graduate end of this year :D

What's a pulley upgrade?

:rolleyes:

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
