Oh yes... And a little extra "kick" in case anyone with a couple of GT-RS's tries to pick a fight :)

hehe...maybe i shall run 25psi myself just to lift the bar a little higher :( 380awkw+

i can then look at NOS to add icing :)

Marko,

I can't remember what the compressor flow map for the GT-RS looked like, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't run upto 1.8 bar (26 psi) on those babies bigthumb.gif

30psi!!! DOOO EEEET!!!! :uh-huh:

It's all about how you look at things ;) For example:

If you blow your gearbox, it's a good excuse to whack an OS Giken or a Pfitzner gearset in there :)

If you blow your engine, it's a good excuse to put in that stroker kit ;)

See? That should be more than enough incentive to wind it up and see what she'll do :uh-huh:

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!!

noice. one thing though. those graphs show N (measuring 'tractive effort') not Nm (newton metres). one of my pet annoyances...!

Whats the conversion from N to Nm ??

It's not that simple, one (tractive effort (N)) is a linear force, and the other (Torque (Nm)) is rotational.

Also, torque is affected by gear ratios.

Theorectically, if you multiply the tractive effort by the radius of the tyre, you will get the torque in Nm at the wheel, but this will be different to that at the engine.

Dynolog dynos somehow read torque at the engine, and they manage to do it quite accurately. There is one on the South Coast that read 390nm for a stock standard GT3 and just over 500nm for Gallardo.

yep, there is no simple way to convert N to Nm. it really pisses me off. would love to know how much torque my car makes.

Put it on an engine dyno whilst you have the engine dropped to install sump baffles/extension :);)

Hey guys,

Do you think my GT-RS on my sr20 will pull close to these figures :) hehe.

Its get tuned at CRD late next week...

I know that GT-SS don't make over 230rwkw on sr20's.

On the other hand I have seen a dynograph of 280+rwkw with a GT-RS on an sr20.

Its great to see some comparisons.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
