Clearly people in Sydney have forgotten that the GT-R is designed for racetracks, not mind numbing bafoon I mean drag racing

Don't mean to be direspectful but Trap Speed is used as a tuning tool. Nothing to do being a bafoon just more to do with verifying dyno figures, as a graph can say what it wants but Mph is the purest number for measuring peak power.

So if a dyno sheet quotes 500kws peak power and the car pulls 130 mph then questions need to be asked to the validity of the power figure quoted on the dyno sheet.

Like it or not its just the way it is.

i agree with this..... even though it is my own car....

on 500kw i should have gotten 140mph or very close to it....

Always had a suspicion JEM's dyno reads a little happy but I know Adam is a good tuner so I went to him for his capability rather than what his dyno will spit out.

Next time around I'm going to make sure I'm getting 31psi on the night so we'll see its real MPH :)

So ... youre saying GTRs at WSID go there for more than just being kicked off after the first run, and refusing to install a cage or parachute?

I thought you never get to run at WSID with all the VLs dumping their guts every 5 minutes

Speaking of stupidly high reading dynos, what happened to that bloke that made 700kw with -5s. He seemed to disappear after running his car on an Aussie dyno

Ha ha. That thread was the definition of insanity.

Has anyone considered twin 7163's as shown here?: 

http://www.full-race.com/store/efr-turbo-kit/nissan-rb26dett-efr-twin-turbo-kit-1.html

This looks to be the direction I will head over the winter. 

Have seen a few different twin EFRs used on YouTube, up to 9180s.

What I did think about, if you ever got defected for having a single on,  could you go with smallish twin EFRs legally ??

Would think the cost of going back to twins would be pretty prohibitive .

Here is an RB26 @ 800awhp + with twin 6258s

Twin EFR's look just as out of place as one larger single. 

Twin EFR's don't mount in the factory position.

I'm from the states so I don't think legality is really a big issue here.

Positioning isn't really important nor is aesthetics, for me personally. I'm looking at performance from twin 7163's versus other options, like a single EFR. According to Jon@FullRace, these turbos will be enough for 700whp on 91 octane, which were my goals originally. I don't mind the twin setup if it performs as well or better than an EFR single for the power requirements.

^^^Correct! This is what these turbos are about! 99% of people arent going to buy an EFR for the drag strip!   These things are all about on/off throttle type of stuff and the widest power/torque band you can just about have "in a turbo car"

thanks.  i get tired of posting this ^^^ in response to "what does it trap" posts.  Believe me guys, i get it - you want to compare it to every other turbo out there.  The thing is, these are different.  And the difference is not on a dyno or a drag strip.  If you actually get real experience with an EFR then you will get it too.. and if drag racing is your thing, Twin-EFR is the way.  Not single.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
