Even with vcam they’re not all in till around the 4.5k mark, they’re even worse then I imagined they’d be

We should just start a thread with a list of officially shit turbos, and these can be the first entry.

The real question is....why only a bar of boost? Why not wind it up to where it is supposed to be? Look at the comp map for the 8374, and then the r34 twins, and tell me that they are both equall

Engineering/Compliance certificate is an issue. Don't fancy a trip to Sydney (EPA) and the bother of trying to meet the standards is a real PITA.

Fine if you never get pulled over but if you do the choices are it's engineered or returned to stockish.

Selling would be a nightmare also because if it goes interstate it cant be registered without issues. And my final thought would be if I'm not a dyno queen or after serious power for straight line or track racing it would be a real shame to go single on such a great condition GTR.

Stock / stock looking GTR's pull the good dollars. Although your right I was going Single but not any more :)

They're journal bearing. Waste of time. 

if you could believe the HKS propaganda    And look at those graphs, run some SS's/-9's at the same boost.

How much are these overpriced nuggets?

Mega thread bump I know, but a tuning shop in Kentucky managed these results with VCAM step 1 and the GTIII-SS turbos: https://www.facebook.com/Dynosty/videos/528591662283860/

I'm not really interested in the numbers themselves which seem a little overstated IMO but this seems to vaguely corroborate UP Garage's results seen here where peak torque happens at 5500 rpm: https://www.facebook.com/upgarage/photos/a.2754286177933791/2756172981078444

I'm still not sure if 0.54 a/r on the exhaust is the right thing for midrange power but shape of the curve especially with E85 seems pretty decent for a bolt-on turbo.

With Vcam peak power is at 6k, so that will be a change of driving/shifting habits.

Full boost at 4500 and peak power at 6000.   That's horrible, and it's not VCams fault.

It's on e85, maybe max out injector or fuel pump

Just imagine if there was no vcam and was on 98 fuel.

full boost at 5k rpm+

I'm confused as to why Joshua posted these results - to justify his purchase of these shit turbos, with shit results ?

 

They're pretty mediocre but I figured someone would be interested if they ever dug this thread up. Personally all I'm hoping for is to get results on par with -7s, any more than that I'd consider a win. Every time I look at the twin turbo piping it's pretty cringeworthy how many twists and turns and right angle merges occur.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
