If we are talking about useable power for the street then no one should go over 300kw like anfanee said.

And let's be honest pete, your original setup was a donk from the dinosaur ages and you will forever be scorned with "ultimate lag".

ibomu hits full boost at 7,000rpm... Is it ideal for the street?

He drives it on the street?

And it's one of the most powerfulest gtr in the country.

Each to there own how they want there car setup.

I have said that a 100 times, it is your car, mod it and drive it the way it makes you happy, the end!

I have copped a lot of crap because I wanted response, I never put shit on blokes that want what they want. But for me getting full boost at 7000rpm for a street car, is nuts , it is a waste of power. If I could have gotten what I wanted at 300kw, that would have been enough. As a new bloke to all of this, I am sure I did it the wrong way, but ?

My built 26 would rev 10,000rpm +, you could not rev to 7500rpm in 2nd without speeding on the freeway, that was only 1000rpm after the boost kicked in, oh and that is after struggling up to 5500rpm to get it to start to move unless you drop it at 7000rpm +, then your head would fall off, so, was this a street car, not for me and I am the only one that counts. My Tiida would blow the bloody thing off the road from an idle start and a lot easier to drive

I can have fun throughout the rev range and unless I am playing I do not usually go over 4000rpm, the acceleration is linear and no surprises, comes on smooth and as hard as your right foot dictates .

I reiterate my previous statement.

That car is not good to drive on the street, at all, he is making power "Just because"

Before you even know it you are doing well over double the speed limit. It's completely useless.

300-350kw is the sweet spot of power you can actually use. anything else is really overkill for a dedicated street car.

If the power is usable , 300kw is more than enough

My original setup was 338kw and shit for a DD, my mistake :( so I changed it, here is the 26 Dyno with the different turbo and cams , it was OK but for me still a crappy street car. But more than enough power for the street, probably different turbo and cams would have fixed it for what I wanted, but ?

Now I have some torque to get it rolling and the power can be used much better than something that kicks in at 7000rpm, I have changed gear before then and have fun on the speed limit, advisory speed signs are good for direction :yes:

I get that, AND wheel spin from 3500 rpm in a GTR. I'm with you Pete, lag is for those that watch too many internet videos and don't actually drive their car in the real world all that much.

I recall driving my old near stock R33 GTR. From the lights a few years back, and shifting below 3500 rpm I was dragged off by a bloody prius taxi! That same car made 270kw on stock turbo's with all the bolt-ons, and was by all accounts what many of you call "responsive".

I agree, 300 kw atw is nice, but at 4000 RPM thanks.

Now your talking, 4000rpm for 300KW rules for the road. :yes: I think I will try for 400KW @ 4000rpm as it is an easier number to remember, response, response , response :wub:

Guess we should all bolt -10's on, no need to be fast in city traffic so we can go for full track setup then

Depends if you want to be a hero at every set of lights, fark you better beat those corollas.

As I said, I have never had problem keeping up with traffic with 0 manifold pressure, and at atm I am running mine in with a weak tune and 5k limited, again with no issues. But then again I don't like being a street hero when I am taking the kids to school or going to work.

Yeah go get them Pete. Give those Prius's and Tiida's heaps..

Last time I checked in peak hour maximum speed is 60 km/hr if your lucky. Must be so good to be on boost.

haha, I do not live in the City, 2 minutes down the road it is 80 another 2 minutes it is 100 and 50 klm of country road that has all of the features that make driving fun and I do it up to 7 days a week :yes:

I leave the City driving to you poor bastards :angry:

Oh and at the end of my road there is one of the best hill climb roads in NSW , Wooton Way. Mmmmm it is like driving heaven :wub:

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
