Recently we put together a 25/30 with a neo de head inc valve springs (bad idea) and wanted to see what the general limitations of standard turbo ones are. This engine was a budget build (though it was done pretty well) but im still a Uni student and on a budget with higher ambitions.

This is generally just me asking for experience with 25's not 30's. Trying to just use it as a rough outline from unopened DET neo's :)

EDIT: Here's a pic of where it starts valve floating. We backed off the boost and touched up the tune a little bit more and managed to make 280 and 550nm but this photo best represents where it dies off.

Big thanks to Rob at Weltmeister Eastside for Dyno tuning (And can definitely recommend him!)

Thanks!

Is there/was there definitely valve float? The reason I ask is that that graph show no signs of it directly. Just a sudden stop to proceedings. Granted the sudden stop does appear to be early, and at a lowish power level for a 30.

How much boost was that? What revs is the stop at?

Power expectation should probably be a bit lower given the smaller ports (they are smaller, aren't they?) and the valve springs are certainly going to flop about with some boost behind them.

If it is/was valve float, then you know what you have to do.

There was another dyno sheet where it looped around with definitely valve float characteristics! Ill try find it.

Running 20psi on a DE head. It's been ported out to DET intake specs and exhaust has been ported out to take full advantage of the manifold.

The turbo still has a bit more boost left in it too!

      Yet another clutch question

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Transmission synchros feel pretty bad at this point in my car and sometimes the clutch feels like it has an inconsistent engagement point in the pedal travel. I figure if I'm going to swap in a new transmission I may as well also put in a new clutch. Obvious candidates are ATS's pull-type twin plate carbon clutch, Nismo Super Coppermix Twin, or some organic clutch option I haven't figured out yet. I have searched this stuff to death at this point and still don't feel all that confident in making a decision. Target power is not much. ~330 kW at the wheels max. I ballpark the torque spec at 600 N-m. The stock clutch feels a little light so a little heavier is ok but I would say no more than 15-20% additional pedal effort. For some reason most clutch manufacturers want to keep this stuff a secret but the Coppermix Twin is 950 kg clamp load so I figure it can't be too much heavier than stock. The hang-up I have is some people mentioning that the clutch is very grabby which sounds like a pain. The stock clutch is almost too easy to modulate so I don't mind if it requires more precision than that but I don't want to deal with something that feels like I'm getting rear-ended at every traffic light. Also I see some mention of the release bearing carrier sizing requiring some work which sounds like something that might complicate installation? It would be good to know exactly what is needed here for a 1995 R33 GTR. The ATS clutch is supposedly the best but I've seen some complaints that they wear out easily and also slip when cold. I don't know how much of that is true but the cost is also huge compared to even the Nismo Coppermix twin plate. It's also unsprung which normally I would reject immediately but supposedly carbon clutches don't need it. The higher clamp load at 1300 kg is also a little concerning but to me more clamp load seems like it inevitably means more pedal effort and also more strain on the engine crank thrust bearings.  This is a street car and despite being a weekend car I seem to spend a lot of time crawling in severe traffic congestion with it anyways so I will gladly pay to have something that is easy to drive on and will hold the power with no unexpected headaches. I really don't want to do a clutch twice.

      Grease the poly bushes as your first order of business. Moly grease. Spanner check everything else. Inspect LCA inner bushes.

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's usually associated with a muffler. Often in the middle of the muffler, sometimes at an inlet. Not removable by just slipping something out. usually needs butchery (read outright replacement of the muffler). There's absolutely nothing magic about any Jap exhaust brand. Totally generic. Totally replaceable with anything else that will do the job. I've replaced the centre muffler in mine a couple of times.
