On the R31house site, they show a GTSR resto and it shows a brand spankers turbo so obviuosly they are available but I agree it would have cost a bomb.

I have the homologation papers for the GTSR and it doesnt show any turbo changes but I guess it doesnt really mean anything as there was a lot of "grey" areas.

OK, I need a PC literate person here atm. I scanned the graph and the file size is over 11mb.

Obviuosly too big but how do I reduce the file size so I can upload it?

If it isnt already save it as a jpeg, then try changing the resolution to something lower, around 500x500 ish should be good, depends on what program you are using as to how you do this.

If this worked here is the graph. A LOT smoother tune than previous where boost ramped so hard it wheel span in third and almost in fourth. Now it is a lot more linear and just pulls away very hard in third with no sign of spin at all.

What kind of turbo was used to make that much power on an RB20? thats awesome! i thougth the old school T04 setup the gtsr's had wouldnt make anywhere near that power & still be reasonably responsive. is full boost around 4000rpm?

216rwkws at 4,500 rpm. I so hope that is a stock RB20:)

The old RB20 has plenty of legs if you spend th emoney in the right places....Hell they won the ATCC in 1990 so they cant be too bad a thing:)

The more i see posted here, the more i think that you need a good exhaust manifold if you want to have any power between 3,500 and 4,500rpm.

Makes me a little paranoid about how good the cast HKS manifold i have will go?

All this taslk about ball bearing turbos, 2835s being great...i figure ill give one a go and see how it compares...then either the TD06 or the 2835 will be for sale

that sounds like a great comparison! I take it will be the same racepace dyno and tuner? :P

just get 1 run on the dyno again with the TD06 set up so you are sure of the base numbers, as if the dyno has been recalibrated or so settings changed then your old numbers will not be entirely comparable.

anyway, i already can't wait to see the results! :P

roy, ive got the hks cast mani on my rb20 and havent had a problem yet with it.

Yeh, but are the runner lenghts etc as ideal as my tubular Trust manifold, or a GTS-R manifold. Im not sure, and my friend who knows more then i will ever know doubts the 2835 with cast manifold will keep up wiht the TD06...which makes me htink perhapsi need to hunt down a HKS tubular manifold or even better another Trust manifold, and just modify the flange...then it will be a good comparision

Yeh, but the Trust flange uses a 3 bolt flange. If i run the same manifold then any difference will be the turbo.

If i can get a Trust one and change the flange on it, it would be an interesting comparison as it would be same engine, same manifold and gate, same tuner and dyno....the only variable would be the turbo.

not sure if you would want to do this but OBX (read: dodgy copy parts) here stateside makes a turbo manifold which is an EXACT copy of the trust one, might be worthwhile picking one up if you are going to be hacking it up anyways as they are fairly cheap to be had and to me dont look anyworse than a trust unit.

i too have wondered about the efficiency of the hks unit but it seems to be working fine so no need to change it imho.

nice power fatgts-r

until 4500 it is very similar to my graph but then opens can of woop arse on mine top end... so there goes roys theory of the manifold being needed :D

hopefully with a bit more boost (aka 20psi) i should be seeing a similar curve to yours just a little less top end more like 250rwkw. but then again i might get all happy and try and run 22psi as well as see how well she goes

im about to do a au falcon coil pack conversion to see if it fixes my miss, ill let u guys know how it goes

But isnt your APexi turbo only a 320hp turbo, their equivelant to a 2530? If thats the case i would hope it matches his up 4,500rpm?!?!?!?!

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
