Car arrives at shop with stock RB26 on stock turbos. Has installed a PNP Haltech and a rough, rich tune. 14 psi on top end...laggy for sure. I knew we were swapping them so I didn't try hard here.

3 weeks later:
Billet oil pump gears
Tomei Cam Gears (rolled in pretty well)
My old EFR 8374 .92 and 6 boost divided IWGmanifold
3" exhaust
Still on 93 octane and still on Haltech basemap timing (still tuning just ran out of time last night)
15-16 psi boost (same as his car when arrived).
 

This is a FANTASTIC turbo for an RB26!

Torque line is not boost line.

looking at a few dyno sheets (from some manufacturers) it appears on some they correlate directly, and on others torque lags MAP by a little bit. I'm guessing that is more to do with torque calculation/smoothing and retarder control than reality?

I can't think of any reason why torque and MAP wouldn't correlate directly. why would torque lag it?

Yuh, hence why I said what I said.  Without knowing whether it lines up on that car/dyno combo, you don't quite have enough info to assume.  FWIW, torque climbs from low to max in an NA....there is no boost to "set" the torque level.  That efficiency/breathing function is still present in a turbo engine too.  So if the boost comes up to max before the engine has reached its inherent torque plateau, then the torque should still lag the boost.

Full boost at 5k on stock turbos? That's a bit lethargic

I agree with you more for sure now. Below is the comparison on SAME dyno (only days apart) to my 1991 GTR.

Here is my stock RB26 GT2860-7 car. It has Greddy downpipe, HKS super Drager exhaust, Tomei cam gears rolled in about 6 deg, and now has hard inlet pipes that I built last week and a Haltech Platinum pnp (the rev2 is nice!!). I modified fuel rail for -6 inlet on rear and upgraded fuel pump with FIC 850cc drop-ins. 

On stock AFM's and just raising boost to 18psi it was 384 whp before cutting due to AFM overrun. It did ~ 300 whp at 9-10 psi boost.

New dyno on Haltech at 20.5 psi and 3 deg added to base haltech timing = 456 whp. I want you guys to note that while it "hangs" with the 8374 EFR IWG .92 on boost threshold on a non-load bearing dyno, when driving the two cars the single completely stomps the twins on response. You can spool sooner, run less boost, and make more power. The 8374 car on 14 psi makes the same power as the -7 car does on 19-20 psi...It is a no-brainer for anyone that thinks that -7 are acceptable boost threshold and lag turbos then the 8374 will beat the pants off of them everywhere.

Here is 9180 on 13B street port engine (the video I put up of it on idle a page or so back). Turbo is max response set up with adequate power range (~700bhp engine), makes for a fast car in a RX7 weight/size.

Power band is good, but it can only do so much, 120k turbo speed on this one, we have run higher on other cars though. Its got a nice spread of power and will do 100 to 200kph in one gear in under 5 seconds. I also include data on phase + anti phase control, we can run a bit more boost if required, and no drop off to 9000rpm (beauty of an advanced ECU).

Anyone have any experience with a 9180 1.01 on a 3.2? Hoping it will make 500.

The 9180 1.05 can easily supply 500rwkw worth of airflow.  the rest of the setup will need to support this, fuel is the biggest factor (knock)

Does anyone have a 9180 for sale?

Full-Race has a few in stock, there will be a sale for the big holiday in the states this weekend

Thanks Geoff. I am going to be using a built and ported head as well as flex fuel. The only thing that worries me is the turbo running out of puff on the top end.

Is there nothing in between a 1.01 and a 1.45? I really dont want to have to stick a 1.45 in there. I know a friend that runs one and is rather laggy, on a 3.2.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
