Short of a stroker crank, is there anyway of spooling them up a little earlier (i.e. fattening the power curve a little)?

Do you expect that the HKS tubular exhaust manifolds will help with this? Head porting, bigger pipework, lower resistance IC?

5 to 8.5 k rev range is still street/track useable, but fattening it towards the low end will obviously make the car a lot more tractable.

Hi Gav, this is pretty much the same result others around the world have achieved with 2.6/2.7 litres and GTRS's. I didn't tune Mark's car (lucky him) but it is very comparable. Personally, for what I would use the car for, I would have gone to 3.1 litres but for Mark's purposes I reckon it will be great. :rofl:

Hi Mark, damn good result.  Pretty much what we discussed, they make some boost at ~5,000 rpm, really get into their stride at ~6,000 rpm, make max power at ~7,000 rpm and still have plenty at ~8,000 rpm.  They will be fun on a cool night, as long as it isn't raining.  :wizard:

yes sat night was on the way to the track and it was raining.... not happy....

cool night air it will love.... yes...

wed night will be the test.....

thanks for your input to my build up...

cheers...

Thanks for that.

also what was your power before C16, because i would like to try some C16 and i'm wondering what sort of power i might get.

we made 332kw at all four at 21 psi. i would like to see 400 at all four.

would you think that would be possible with the diffences that you saw.

cheers.

Hi Mark,

I just picked up my car literally 2 hrs ago :)

Just installed a set of these gtrs's on my r32 gtr, on 15psi it is making 304awkw.

My tuner wants to keep the boost conservative until i upgrade my exhaust from:

'2inch front pipes/3inch cat back'

With my new veilside system:

'2.5inch front pipes/3.5inch cat back'

I can then run 20-25psi depending on what i am after...

Is your bottom end standard?

Marko.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
