Excellent work and congrats on the record runs. Highest I could find for 2530's on a GTR after a quick search is 501hp@wheels in an R33:

The Phoenix runs are on a 4WD chassis dyno.

But anyway, how can you possibly lay claim to the world champ 2530 title without a fight? However, you'll get your chance at WSID on April 9 when a special guest is flying in to defend his world title..... Ladies unt Gentlemen, I give you (drumroll)

Would love to know if those Japanese/English/Australian power figures were on chassis dynamometer???

Timing was an extra 4 deg for that run.

anyhow...how awesome was it 2rismo....your reaction on the video was priceless. Can you host it somewhere, maybe when you get back to work (dial-up boy).

In the Dyno shootout comp. yesterday, TWO.06L recorded a mind blowing 627bhp.

which is 467kw. Is this a new World Record for a GTR running 2530 turbos, or for that matter low-mount turbos alltogether. Jim from Croydons is sure it is but we would like to find out for sure. By the way nitrous-oxide running cars do not qualify and must be running on jap pump fuel or equavilent.(we ran VP 103)

That is absolutely mind blowing and congratulations.

Can I ask how you can get 600hp turbo's working well over their designed limit.

Don't get me wrong but my understanding is turbo's are rated for X amount of power and your combination exceeds the 2530's capability by miles.

Just wondering how it's possible. I understand if you don't won't to give away any secrets but could you provide a broad explanation on how you achieved it.

I don't wish to take anything away from this great achievement I am just really interested to know that it is possible.

Cheers

Great result!

If you have std diff ratios it looks like you're well over the 9 grand mark at the top of fourth? What rods and crank are you running?

Cheers

Don't you remember us Gav.....we are the ones who do cryogenic treatment. The run was to 8000...our redline is 9200. The rods and crank are stock and our diff ratios are too.

Thanks for the congrats.....well it goes a little something like this.......HKS rate their turbo for the worst possible senario. eg on a stock engine using poorly designed manifolds and dump pipes (stock), standard head,cam timing,intercooling,piping etc.

The more efficient you make any of these pieces of the equation, the more efficient the turbos will become (minimise the losses in the system) Every part of our set-up has been thououghly examined to see if we could cut/minimise the loss and therefore increase the turbos efficiency. Correctly selected camshafts, portmatching of manifolds, and CORRECT porting of head play a crucial role in this.

The velocity of gas flow in the turbine side of the system has to be taken into account when porting a RB26 head, we believe we have got this part of the build spot-on. Too many times old school principles have been adapted to RB26 or for that matter any modern turbo engine build-up and the results have not been forthcoming.

HKS 2530 turbos are designed to be efficient at between 1.4-2.0 bar the results on the weekend were achieved using a lowly 27psi. I think in my own mind that their HP rating should only be used as a guide and not as a maximum figure. As a rule of thumb calculate at least 10-20% higher if you do the build correctly.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
