On a negative note, the HPI R34GTT only made 230rwkw with the GCG turbo.

That's right Robo, but if you check the specs, you will find it was running the standard dump, the standard airbox and the compliance cat. Plus it was wheelspinning a little on the dyno, which BTW had not yet been upgraded to run in Shoot Out mode. In addition, I don't know about Lepperfishes car, ours has an electric cooling fan instead of the engine driven one.

All in all, I am pretty happy that the results are comparable with a few others of the same spec. :aroused:

Sorry I don't know anything about the GCG "spec in between 450 and 500 bhp". Next time I am in there I will ask though.

Sorry gotta go, Skyline shocks to be engineered. :P

Well that explains for the relative low figure. In the article they said they were running out of injectors and couldnt run higher boost.

Well i dont know why HPI would bolt on an upgrade turbo and leave the standard dump and cat. A bit backwards!!!

As far as I know Ben intended to go to an externally wastegated turbo in the progression plan (which he did). So he avoided buying/doing anything that was going to be redundant, I guess the dump and cat fell into that catagory.

They did pretty well to get to 230 rwkw with the standard injectors, I have never been able to get much over 210 rwkw. :D

Aren't the R34 injectors smaller than the R33 ones?  I am all but convinced to go the 450 GCG turbo with upgraded pump and regulator.  Hoping to have a comfy 200rwkw

Smaller in size, but not smaller in rate

lepperfish, can you verify TWENTY PSI by 3,400rpm!?!?!

im not saying your car doesnt hit it by 3400 (must have some wicked tuning or something), but i have to say i find it hard to believe!!

i have a smaller HKS 2530 which should be hitting full boost earlier than the high flow and at 3400rpm im guessing i see maybe 14psi? mine hits full boost (~19psi max) by a tad under 4000rpm!

Are You Running Lower Compression To Acheive The 20psi Boost ? Im Running St.1 Gcg 450hp Hi Flow Turbo , 600hp Bosche Motorsport Fuel Pump, Malpassi Rising Rate Reg, Ces Racing Split 3inch Dump Pipe, 3 Inch Cat, Exhaust, Link Ecu , Gtr Intercooler And At 17.5psi Boost My Car Could Only Manage 212rwkws On Shootout Mode , My Tuner Advised Me That I Needed An Aftermarket Manifold To Achieve More Boost And Therefore More Power , He Reckons This Will Give Me Another 15 To 20 Rwkws!!! So At 230rwkws Im Going To Be Still Along Way From 265rwkws Lepperfish What A Freak/ Animal Of A Car Youve Got Mate!!

Hi Big Carl, I wouldn't worry about the manifold, inlet or exhaust, as you are nowhere near the limit of either. There are other things that will give you more.

What I have done to our engine that you haven't done yet;

1. We run 19.5 psi (~8rwkw)

2. We run R33 GTR intercooler, is yours R32 GTR? (~5rwkw)

3. The head is ported, the combustion chambers are polished and the manifolds are carefully matched (~10rwkw)

4. The big one, a set of Tomei 260 degree poncams is fitted (~20rwkw)

5. Lastly we have done an injector upgrade and changed to a Z32 AFM (~0rwkw). No extra power in themselves but probably worth a bit in tuning resolution with the Power FC.

Total 255 rwkw, that's close enough to allow for dyno, tuning and ambient differences.

Fuel, the initial tuning was done on the Shell Optimax control fuel as used by our V8Supercar at the time. It has had a couple of runs since, all pretty much the same on pump Optimax. I have run it on Elf LMS a couple of times, as it was left over from the R32 GTST, makes a bit more on Elf as I can advance the igntion timing a lot.

Hope that is of some help :)

This is wierd,

with an RB20 I get 17-18psi with the HKS 2530 before 4000rpm, I am pretty sure that it had 15psi @ 3500rpm ... definately had 17psi before 4000rpm, more like 3700rpm or earlier, wierd that you have the same response if not worse with an RB25 with the higher CR and capacity.

Anyone got ideas?

For a HKS2530 and 1.2bar on a RB20 you are pretty spot on, they do make that boost by 3700-4000rpm.

Is that from a low speed accelerating in second gear?

Every one has a different idea of how and where their car makes its 'full boost'

I.e my stocker RB20t with exhaust and fmic running 1.1bar accelerating from a low speed in second gear on a flat road will see 1.1bar by around 3500rpm.

Try that in third or fourth and it will see 1.1bar by 3000rpm.

All depends on gearing.

Yours being a Calais I would imagine you are still running the stock 3.45:1 diff ratio. The R32's run a 4.363:1 and the R33's a 4.11:1.

First gear at 7000rpm in the R32 is some where around 55km/h, second is around 95km/h and third is around 140km/h.

For a HKS2530 and 1.2bar on a RB20 you are pretty spot on, they do make that boost by 3700-4000rpm.

Spot on Joel, add going up a long, steep hill on a cool evening to that and you have another set of variables. This is why I always insist on running all the cars on the dyno in 4th gear. That way I get comparable results. :)

Yeh the results were in 4th gear on a DD, for reference I run a 4.11 minispool. Also the standard exaust manifold I have has been ported which may make a difference? It is very hard for me to cruise off boost even very partial throttle produces boost in all gears, I have to say the HKS 2530 is a perfect match to the RB20.

Regency (Transport SA) has final say. Engineers reports, ADR tests anything means nothing to them here. If they are unhappy with it, it wont pass.

 

 They even defect ADR approved steering wheels, Engineers certificates, and emission tests (which here in Adelaide cost 2k+)

 

And you cannot take them to court, because they are covered by the law itself...

If you have the courage and some money. Take Regency to court, I don't care what Act of SA Parliament they operate under, the SA Govt can NEVER EVER take away your rights to Australian Common Law. Make sure what you are fighting them on is 100% legal. Then make a song and dance about it on TV, radio, in the print, everywhere you can. The idea is to embarass the crap out them, the current affairs TV programs just love it.

If not then, drive 2.5 hours to Serviceton (just over the border from Bordertown), rent a post box and get the rego transferred to Victoria. Then tell the SA Govt that they are missing out on revenue because of Regency. :upurs:

If enough people do either of the above it will change, if I lived in SA I wouldn't complain about it, personally I would do something to change it. :)

Now back on topic,

Has anyone got any experience with running a Garrett t3/t04e hybrid turbo.

They seem to be good for around 500hp, and are not meant to be very laggy.

Does anyone know?

http://www.turboneticsinc.com/t3-4.html

they come internal or ext gate aswell.

Its easy to say that Gary.... :D

I have done it in NSW, a bunch of us got together and the emissions testing facility was closed for 4 years as a result. I have also "been to court" on a couple of other issues (mostly successful) and I have one on at the moment over Speed Cameras and their maintenance. So I don't just talk about it. :)

The Turbonetics is the go, (it has balls) but be carefull of the surge limit. Being capable of 50 lbs per minute of airflow they run very close to the surge line on RB25's when below their efficiency. This is between 0.5 and 1 bar of boost and between 12 and 25 lbs per mimute, namely, where you drive a lot of the time. Have a look at the compressor maps (unlike HKS, Turbonetics make theirs available).

Hope that helps :)

ive loaded up 25 different compressor maps into this program called turbocalc on the ray hall website. I think the t043-60 trim suits the car best as i plotted in my drivin points and they came up in the most efficient areas.

I have been advised to go .63 A/R over .48 as the .63 will allow more power, and also that an external wastegate would be recommended over internal.

What are ur thinkings?

thanks

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
