yeah was a nice run on SLICKS but the other two big singles i've seen have battled to say the least to get them off the line(no low down grunt or torque or rapid spool up in these examples) And one of the guys actual said he would have trade the power delivery of his single for what we were getting out of the small garret in and instant and as for see at the plex, yeah right i'll grow old and retirer before you put car where your mouth is?

I'm quite sure from what i saw it was on street tyres . And as for getting off the line and rapid spool i've seen yours bog off the line quite a number of times.

And the other big single turbo car you are talking about has a turbo 3 times the size of yours put together. We are talking properly matched singles here. ie.. gt35's , t60-1 etc etc

Sus the dyno graph. Not bad for a shitty single. As for that other dyno graph on the twins. Funny how its getting shown starting at 115kms. Nice way to show a big average power graph.

AND has a set of low-mount twins!!!

Try getting a power curve like that with a single!!!!

any reason why you didnt do it in shoot_6 mode instead of shoot_8

last time i checked an RB26 came with only 6 pistons :(

I have covered this before. A properly matched single BB turbocharger will always outperform any twin turbo variants of similar calibre both in response and outright power. You cant go against physics. There is a GTR with only a GT30 which makes +300rwkW and does a high 10 with better drivavbilty than nismo N1s by far. Please the person who owns this car speak out and pass on your experience of this brilliant car.

30 years ago yeah twin turbos were the go... not anymore.

What are you talking about? The fluid dynamics behind it all say that one turbo per cylinder is the ideal.

Mik i got to agree with you from all the published documentation i have read multi turbo configurationhas been known to have a clear efficience edge over a single arrangement( due to in one part the clear exhaust signal)

And people just for a moment think about ever top of the range turbo charged performance car on the market i can think of nissan ,toyota, porsche are all multi turbo , And your trying to tell me they spend million of dollars on development to built some of the fast cars on the planet to built multi turbo cars ,to have only gone backward from the base model unit (ie gts to gtr)I DONE THINK SO.

ok the fast gtrs in world hks/veilside/gtr700/Keir wilson etc etc all twin

the best track gtrs in the world (other end of the scale "responce") all twins never seen the nissan racing team run a single turbo set up I WOUNDER WHY NOT , if what you say is true that single is best why would a team with hugh money resource and R&D backing not have gone to that configuration for an edge ,BECAUSE IT ISN'T.

Poor Nissan, spending all that money on the RB26DETT when they could have listened to you and just stuck with the single turbo setup!

And the R32 GTR came out in 1989, which is only 15 years ago.

:bs!:

And clearly BMW engineers have no f*cking idea because they are developing a twin-turbo inline-6 setup:

BMW Twin turbo

The best example I think is the

GT42R single making 1131 hp vs 2 x 3240's making 1073 hp

The 3240's are on a 3.4 litre engine, vs a 3litre engine.

And I am afraid the single turbo making more power on the samller engine comes on harder :rolleyes:

I'm not calling you a liar, however you haven't explained why the engineers persist with the twin-turbo setup if it's a waste of time.

There is one point we all miss here. We all are assuming manufactors make cars to be there best / fastest / most effecient.

Manufacturers dont make the best car the possibly can, they make cars that SELL and make money ......

Doesn't TWIN Turbo sound cool to the marketing department ?

Above that I dont truly know the answer to which is better. I just thought it nice to show some real world examples up for thought :rolleyes:

Yeah its not just not the engineers but also the company like HKS,TOMEI and APEXI top performance gtr's are twins aswell and if your going to talk hp what about Veilside 1400hp plus 2.6Litre gtrs on twin turbos but obvisiously these companys need to come listen to the aussie back yard experts cos there got it all wrong.

I surgest a few guy could benefit from reading a book by Gramham Bell called Forced Induction. It based on facts and on cars developed in F1 and WRC and the principles that have been developed in all areas of forced induction.

Watch a few early HPI dvd's and see what sorta times the big singles are running on the gtr's . Yes the huge horsepower GTR's are running twins but thats due more to the fact that u cant get a single big enough to get the horsepower they want. Were talking street cars here not all out drag cars.

Did you care to notice the signature on the graph...it was in competition, so the run was performed under competition rules (not mine) Also there is not enough loading on the dyno in shoot6 for high powered vehicles...i.e. too much wheelspin in shoot6...all dyno comps use shoot8...i.e. everybody has the same dyno loading.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
