I feel light headed, i need to sit down :D  

It makes that sort of power with that sort of response, at a little over 1.5bar. Im no expert but that is brilliant. Do you happen to know what cams and compression ratio the car is running... std stroke and no special fuel?

I notice that most dyno pritnouts with big numbers are usually concave curves, and doing the math, you get more urge if you reach the same number with a convex curve....

compression is standard i beleive, hks pistons.

cams hks step 2, 280/10.20mm

mobil synergy 8000 fuel

standard 2.6 stroke.

could prolly be improved with smaller cams around 260, but has a nice lumpy idle :wassup:

bah what, u want that dyno sheet aswell or should i take a photo of the guage :D  

mild port job

:wave: Nah dude, I believe you 100%... You don't strike me as the kind of person who would lie like that.

My point was that the airflow from that "23psi" would have been a LOT greater than on a standard engine... 280 degree cams, ported and polished head... That reduces the head restriction a LOT over a standard engine, so if you were to make the same power with the same turbo setup on a stock engine, it would require a lot more "boost pressure"...

My "bah" was mainly aimed at Roy's surprise that it was only using 23psi :wave: You have to take into account head work and big cams before being amazed at such a low boost pressure :(

Even with head work and cams, thats not a lot of boost considering how its making its power.

I would have though a turbo that can provide 250rwkws at 4250rpm (good power for that rpm in my book) to have to run a lot of boost to march past 400rwkws

Even with cams/headwork etc, the inertia of turbines and compressor is what it is, and for a turbo to spin that well at moderate rpm, i would have assumed it wasnt that big a turbo, hence would need plenty of boost to make the sort of airflow for over 400rwkws....but it seems im wrong...since its got forgies stop playing games and give it 1.8bar :wave:

I don't think you're quite getting the effect of headwork and 280 degree camshafts though :P

At the risk of treating you like a n00b (which obviously I know you're not), you have to remember that boost is just a measure of head restriction, NOT airflow.

Lets say that particular turbo kit needed to push 1200CFM of air through the motor to hit 417rwkw....

So if you strapped that entire turbo kit and accessories onto a stock motor, you will need to push 1200CFM of air through the engine to make the required power. This might equate to a 40psi (arbitrary value) head restriction to make that power.

But because this engine has had work to reduce the head restriction (and therefore improve the airflow through it), although the turbo is still pushing 1200CFM of air through the motor, you're only measuring a 23psi head restriction (commonly called "boost")...

"hence would need plenty of boost to make the sort of airflow for over 400rwkws...."

That doesn't really make sense... boost has nothing to do with airflow... It has everything to do with head restriction... You can have eleventy billion CFM of airflow and 1psi of "boost" if your head is good enough :)

Sorry if that's bleedingly obvious to you, I just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page here :)

Yeh i understand what you are saying, my prob is i dont articulate myslef very well. :P

Even with cams/headwork etc, the inertia of turbines and compressor is what it is, and for a turbo to spin that well at moderate rpm, i would have assumed it wasnt that big a turbo....

Im using the term boost when i should probably be saying shaft speed. And for you to have sufficient shaft speed to generate enough airflow to make 250rwkws at 4250rpm, i would have thought the turbo has reasonably small wheels, meaning lower inertia and quicker accelerating turbo.

So my thinking was smaller the wheel the less cfm per revolution (ok it has a lot to with no. of blades, pitches of wheels etc etc). So i would have thought that to make 250rwks at 4250rpm then the compressor wheel is already got a few rpm on board, relativley small so not capable of providing huge amounts of airflow. The fact that it made another 170rwkws i would have thought the wheel speed would be thru the roof to flow that sort of extra cfm.

Is that making any more sense, wheel speed and boost are often thrown around with the same general meaning...typically higher wheel speed more cfm and subsequent boost as you are trying to squeese all those molecules into the same volume of space.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying :) It's all Sydneykid's fault, he picked on us in another thread for misusing the term boost, and I've carried it over into this thread :P

And yeah, that is a very convex curve for a peak figure of 417rwkw... I'm also impressed ;)

u guys are making my brain hurt.

to be honest, i probably am a bit of a noob when it comes to all the technical stuff and to be honest , i dont have the time nor the interest.

Find somebody competant who has the knowledge and who has done the r&d and use there expertise, most on here would know ben and prolly have heard of the garrets he uses, he has the big daddy on his r33 and leewah has the son of and i have the sister of.

i put my faith in him, as i know he will always steer me in the right direction, i do all the spanner work, but leave the brain work to others

we wanted to crank a bit more boost in, but detonation started to rear its ugly head and since this car will spend some time at the track, safe tune was paramount.

Don't you mean the $5 a night slave does the spanner work? :P I think it's a very impressive graph and final figure Dean. I guess you'll be blasting past me when I (eventually) get out on the track again; it's been over 12 months.

I had a small chat to Ben about increased sump capacity, baffling and spun bearings today... a lot of the problems have stemmed from incorrect oil choice in the guys who've done the damage.

Oh yeah, it's always my fault:Paranoid:, go right ahead and put shyte on the guy who is simply trying to educate the unwashed. :bonk:

Even if they don't want to be educated :talk2hand

LOL sadly i cant afford such a toy so i have to enjoy just the nuts and bolts aspects of cars. :P , which thankfully i do.

"Ben" as in Race Pace?... apparantly he doesnt touch RB20s even if your a paying customer... it would be interesting to see him try and come up with a good Garret combo for a tweaked RB20, as obviously he has the RB25/26/30 recipe right.

Ooooh... interesting! ;)

Care to share what you learn't about oil choices with us? x.gif

Sorry I personally don't agree, I have yet to see one single case of damaged bearings in a GTR as a result of the oil itself failing. They have all been oil surge and resulting starvation caused. I don't care what oil you use, if you don't baffle the sump and go on a circuit, you are at RISK. :D

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
