I guess any 'larger than standard' turbos will perform better with an increased capacity bottom end but in discussing this topic I think that 362awkw with 800Nm is quite an achievement on a stock 2.6ltr - yes it is all up & over 5000rpm thru to 8500rpm so the larger bottom 'would' beef up the low rpm...

 

Marko.

Marko,

I wasn't intending to put your car down, far from it actually.

All I was saying was that GT-RS turbos on a standard capacity engine will result in the engine producing LESS torque than a standard turbo setup on a standard capacity engine. This is painfully obvious for some people, but many people won't actually realise just HOW MUCH less torque the engine will make with GT-RS as compared to smaller turbos.

Just as a comparison, the difference between low-rpm torque of Kabab's GT-SS and your GT-RS:

GT-SS GT-RS

70km/h - 2500N 2400N

90km/h - 3800N 2900N

110km/h - 5800N 3200N

Of course above 140km/h (5000rpm) the GT-RS come on song and make a tremendous amount of torque and power, but no-one is doubting that.... It's the LACK of torque down low (tractability off the line) that I was addressing.

I know you can say that ANY turbo upgrade can benefit in increased capacity, but I think it's pretty plain to see that the GT-RS will benefit a lot more than smaller turbo solutions :D

GT-RS turbos are a MAJOR upgrade for the RB26, and it is general consensus amongst the UK tuners who have had access to them for a few years now, that they need a stroker kit to remain tractable for daily driving and are not really suited for circuit racing... If you're just using the car for drag racing, then I guess increased capacity is a luxury, but not a necessity :P

I agree with you Merli, emails can be read in the wrong context :(

I would assume that the majority like bottom/mid range power whereas the minority (such as myself) like top end power which is the same group of gtr owners with single top mounts :)

Who cares at the end of the day really, as long as the car puts a smile on your face & has the capability of making you break into a sweat at times.

They aren't rated at anywhere near 800HP, but even 2530s are more than capable of a 10 second pass...

How come you say that? HKS rate them at 400ps each= 395 imperial HP. The compressors flow over 40lbs/min each. I think John Munro did a best of 9.45 @153mph on the 2835's. Abeit 56 trim compressors, the 52 trim GT-RS ones lose ~3lbs/min peak flow?

Granted they were highmounts but UAS John says that those bling Jap manifolds flow worse than his ported stocker specials, so maybe more could have been in it if the car was equipped with those instead?

According to HKS's website, the GT-RS and GT2835 have the same size comp wheels :spcow:

You're absolutely right there :uh-huh:

Everyone is after something different from their cars... That's what makes it interesting!! :(

Yah, I built my car/Kabab's car for circuit racing and being tough street bully, so everything I did was aimed at getting as much low down torque as possible, whilst still having a respectable top end. Unfortunately I couldn't stretch the budget to accomodate an OS Giken 3.0L kit :) Sorry Kabab!

I tend to agree with you on that statement Chris, 'bling factor' can soak kw!

LOL

Hahaha! Ok, so can we take it one step further to deduce that the Master Power turbos are copies of Garretts, and the GT-RS has the same wheel as the 2835, and Johnny's ported stock manifolds are better than Jap bling.....

To provide a mid-low 9 second car running on Master Power low mount turbos on the stock manifolds! 9's for $900! Bargain.

I'll hold it against you to the grave! :(:) :)

I plotted Marko's torque curve against mine just for interest sake...

Marko's might be alittle off but thats as close as i could match em...

The GT-RS's are making 1000nm torque more then the GT-SS as they are both dropping off which should give considerably more top end!!

thats interesting, the difference in top end kw between the 2 setups is 77awkw (approx. 127rwkw)

The car has made 316awkw on 20-22psi (eBoost was fluctuating at anything over 20psi) on CRD dyno with the same setup plus cams.

Should be good for about 330awkw at 24-25psi with the 260/260 cams and proper boost control...

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
