Not sure why mines 700rpm later with the same cams 

Guess more tuning will help a little.

You can always pull out timing so the EGTs are hot "turn" the turbo on, but torque with low timing at that load point vs. the torque with less boost at that load point with more timing could be drastically different.

Bugger boost levels. Whatever gives the most Nm. 300 Nm and 2 psi is better than 150 Nm and 17 psi. But Boost is higher so must be better yeah? ?

hahahah depends on the user, some want instant boost for the head snaps, some what linear and flat torque to minimize wheel spin and get good lap times :)

Customer is always right!

For anyone who is interested

8374 with 1.05 rear on standard 2.6 engine on e85

Tyres with 275 Mickey Thompsons.

10.7 @ 133mph in Sydney summer. Was running 28psi on the night.

Will go again in winter and see how much of a difference the MPH makes.

Soft timing doesn't make the boost come on instantly or even necessarily much or any faster time vs psi, but yeah it does make for a more violent torque transition on spool which some people like.  Have to admit I've done similar things with valve timing etc where people wanted a slower car that they liked the feel of more.  Nothing wrong with that, either.

What tyres were you running cause that’s a pretty good 60ft 

I'm just fitting a 26/30 in a cefiro. It's an r34 head that's been reco'd,  stock low km rb30 bottom end with head studs and new oil pump. 

I have a 9174 ewg 1.05 and twin 40 mm gates I was going to put on my gtr. 

Should I fit this to the cefiro now and buy another one for gtr later?

Is it overkill for a stock bottom end  as I was thinking 20 psi Max on this combo on p98 as I have the fuel system now to support 550 whp? 

Not sure how far to push the 2630.

How modified is your head?

How big is your exhaust? 

Where are the cams set? (Mine are 0/0) 

Finalise the tune and see what happens.

Whats holding the final tune up? It’s been ages!

 

 

1mm OS valves, 3.5" all the way, 0/0 also. 

In terms of getting the tune done, the usual. Work, Life, the oil squirter coming out the sump. those kind of things. Hopefully get closer to it by march.

Thats a huge MPH - i always thought low to mid 120s would be a high 10

modern DSG, AWD, Launch Enabled cars yes - older things like our dinosaurs would need 130~140MPH to get it to boogie

this is a long shot but i may as well ask the question and get thoughts of the guys on here.

Currently have a 8374 w 1.05 rear on a custom CRG manifold. The manifold was designed specifically with my turbo specs in mind.

I'm contemplating upgrading to a 9180 w 1.45 rear (with eventual goal and having a stroked motor), however at this stage the upgrade only seems viable if the turbo is a straight swap.

The concern is the 9180 with the bigger rear housing may not fit on to the current manifold.

I wanted to check if anyone on here has had experience with both 1.05 and 1.45 rear housings and is able to comment if the bigger rear would work with current manifold. Don't really want to dick around with new manifolds etc etc so won't proceed if it is not a straight swap.

Appreciate it is not a straightforward answer, however thought I'd check anyway.

Cheers

I believe the dump pipe has to move back 7-8 mm. Going to dummy fit mine soon. Seems like if you want to use all of the available compressor in both the 8374 and 9180 (moreso) the 1.45 is needed.

what about your manifold though? will it fit such a larger rear?

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
