Hi guys i was wondering what and how whould an engine behave if the turbo housing is to small. Not using a dyno just pushing it hard. Im thinking the housing is a bit small on my gtr, but im a bit mixed up because the car runs so good. Any clues would be appreciated.

If you guys listen to the motor can you be able to tell from the sound of it. Sorry question sounds dumb. But all the other stuff seem ok. Im at around 1000f on the EGT gauge when im in the gas. What im hearing is like at top rpms when doing a durn out or lauch the rpms seems to get like a scramble sound. Dont get me wrong when i dump the clutch the car goes. I had a friend do a burn out for me so i could record the sound. Cant you by any chance tell what it might be from the sound of the exhaust. ??

Well i cant tell torque drop off no dyno:( timing im not to sure about.

I can say its all cheap stuff.

Cheap ebay 38mm gate $69

Cheap ebay manifold. $159

Cheap hx35 diesel turbo. $370

Stock injectors

Wolbro 450 pump intank $ 110

Power fc. $800

Twin rb25 afm. $180

The motor is stock rods and pistons

Just rebuilt fresh with arp head studs acl bearing, MLS head gasket. Its also has a racefab sump.

And a fully refurbished head.

Its really a budget build.

Juat wish i could figure this out

Well its not detonation. The power fc is at 42 knock max at 14psi. Thats ok to me. My work tends to be tidy with nothing hitting the block (false knock) well untill i get a dyno i guess ill have to stay guessing. Or using my god given talents. I know about the torque drop off part just have no way to figure it out.

Makes me want to move somtimes. So much guys blow up motors here due to tuning issues. Even i did. Untill i first learned my limits and some road tricks to follow, by no means is it a method that is better over using a dyno.

I stop spending big money on parts and turbos. I use cheap ebay and Chinese crap to build, well other than the motor part. I keep it stock just fresh and push the oil issues to the limit. This whole build was under 2k.

The performance is ok. But well worth the money. The only think i have going for me is i can build my own motors. Thats it.

Thanks anyways guys. For everything

Standard injectors are only good for around 400hp to the tyres so if you're making any more than that they're probably at their limit.

What times and mph are you running?

Standard GTR or GTST injectors? Also - dirty injectors may only flow 2/3rds of clean injectors...

You guys might just be right. The injectors are maxing out. And fast. There rb26 injectors. I do want to buy a set of injectors but to tell you the truth. I dont have a dyno so only injectors that come with the lag times would be the set im interested in. Like the stuff on rhd japan. Once i do the formula and input it into the power fc. Its just a matter of clean up the fuel map a bit. Thats all i can do lean some mistakes maybe even blow this motor up and start over again. People say the those injectors are old fashion and i should go with some newer stuff like mega squirt or somthing like that. Does any of.you guys know what would be a good option in this situation. I really wouldnt mind a set of upgraded injectors.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
