LOTS!

DOHC, 4.0l 6-pack with a restricted and underloaded turbo and motor...

BIG things will be made from this platform!!

A mate just received his after a delay with the sunroof and a crack in the windscreen which was replaced before delivery.

Click here to see the professional shots he had taken the other night.

AWESOME!

Guys,

They wound the boost down on the turbo to prevent the power exceeding the XR8. They did this because otherwise no-one would buy the V8. I have heard it has serious potential, at the factory they pushed over 300kW at the flywheel during testing. Factory skylines come with restrictive airboxes and exhausts, to meet EPA, but it doesn't take much to replace them.

I think we are in for many years of fun racing these down at the drags.

See'ya:burnout:

Apparently it has a very restrictive airbox and exhaust.

It has a restrictor on the turbo as well which can be removed. Aftermarket companies in this country are falling all over themselves to develop this car. ANYONE that says this car has no potential is not thinking straight!

It's the same as saying that, "because of the way a factory r33 ecu retards the timing when boost is increased, it's not worth developing the rest of the car". How many of us here have aftermarket ECU's?!?!?

ridiculous! not a shot at what you said, just that i'm sick of hearing bullsnot being thrown around on this subject.

Lets think about it: Change exhaust, remove inlet restrictor and other restrictions, up the boost, BANG 300kW !!!

That's potential in my book!

:D

I agree with 2rismo, the performance shops already have parts ready to bolt-on and can't wait to replace the engine management systems, the potential will be awesome.

Aslong as they can fix the problem of the side airbags going off, casue that would be a bitch if your racing and the airbags blew up.

Deesh,

If you wanted a drag or race car then I would agree with you, but these aren't intended for that purpose. They are a luxury sports saloon, and therefore have to have all the goods that people expect these days.

I'm sure if you stripped it then you could loose 300+kgs.

See'ya:burnout:

These cars have just over 200kw at the wheels straight out of the box. I point your attention over to this thread on performance forums http://board.performanceforums.com/forums/...readid=67137695

Very impressive. And for those people complaining that it weighs to much...go buy a mini or something.:D

these things DO! have a crapload of potential,only thing is that i dont think the tranny is gonna hold up to much abuse,as thereve already changed 400 auto's out of the first batch made,and even the 5 speeds are going aswell, but there are strengthing them.

Also i have heard from a mechanic that words at Fords in broadmedows in the warranty/workshop that the only problem is the crank,rods etc and to get the power out of these things and to still be reliable all these things will have to be changed

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
