Yeah, from what ive been told, 350 rwkw shouldnt be a problem. I dont really care though; i think ill have my hands full with rear wheel drive (and the air conditioning on!). As long as it comes on early. Im using a Tial 44mm external wastegate. I was going to go the Autronic SM2 with the traction control, but this has proven to be an expensive option. Its now between the Autronic SM4 (without T control) or the PFC.

If you guys dont mind, i think ill keep you posted on the progress of the conversion from here on, especially the tuning side of things if i decide to go with the Autronic. Theres no point in making someone elses mistakes twice.

Shaun.

Some more pics. These are the differences between the GT30 and the GT3540. I dunno if you can see the incriments on the vernier calipers or not (make sure your reading from zero).

Besides the point a GT35 will spool up faster than any GT30 in any configuration due to the later design of the turbine-compressor wheels. Just rip of the housing and feast your eyes on the differences.

How come the turbine maps show the GT30R as having a 72% peak efficiency, and the GT35R "only" 70%? How can a larger mass then accelerate faster - talking about the inertia of the wheels? I don't understand how a larger turbo will spool faster, well two turbos from the same lineup from the same manufacturer using alot of common components.

Hey I just noticed something - that smaller turbo in the pics is not a genuine GT30R Garrett - nothing from the GT lineup has 7 blade compressors...

Sorry to go off topic here.

Very Impressive results this car will post i am sure.

I know the GT3540 and T04R have similar HP ratings.

Has anyone the maps for both? Obviously the T04R is an older technolgy and isnt BB.

Both are going to be making 5psi by 3500rpm and 25psi by 5500rpm i presume.

And both capapble of making the high 300kwatw

thanks for the help.

w@nk factor??? hehe.

theres a guy here in canberra whos running a single gt35 on his rb26 and its making 1bar by 2900rpm. the thing is stupidly responsive so i've been told (spools faster than his old nismo grpA turbos anyway). i believe he was shooting for 400rwkw but i think he's pulling something more in the region of 360ish....

Very nice choice.. as i am currently rebuilding a rb26, which has some nice mods in the engine and also opted for the same turbo, with custom manifold and innovative wastegate (brought from exXU1 on SAU).. Same setup, dropping this into a r32 gtst as well..

I have opted to go for the PFC so would be a good comparson to see these 2 cars go.

My A/C only shoots out hot air as well :rofl: Should really get that fixed on day.

Let me know how the setup goes. mine wont be on the road for a while, just need some extra dosh to finish the engine off.

Ok just looking around afew ppls are doing this 2wd thingy, well I'll put up some info for everyone here.

If you are looking around for a 2wd sump, awhile back I negotiated with hi energy to make a custom sump for myself, but apparently they already had one underway for rb26 in 2wd format and it holds 9 litres by itself has trap doors and scrapers, also if used in conjunction with a cooler set up the volumn increases to 10+ litres depending what size line you use,

Also I commission a custom manifold for a single turbo, in the end we made about 10, lol. kept 1 and dump the other nine, no I didn't sell them to other skyline owners as to me they were inferior to the one I had, and it would be wrong to do it, anyway, I hope the photo works out below, if you have question regarding rb26 into gts pm me as i'm not going to post up 1000 pics and pages and pages of info regarding how to build and blow up (blowing them up is my specialty) engine and the pitfall of street engine as to race engines. There are a few very mechanical talented ppls on this forum, who might shed more light onto this.

I'm just a car nut, and a sucker for skyline.

Yeah, my A/C shoots hot air too; ill get it regassed but if it doesnt work ill bin it and save about 50kg.

It will be interesting to see how both cars end up, especially if we decide on different engine management. Im interested to know how youll use the Power FC. Will you use the gtst loom and one AFM with the R32 PFC, or put the gtr loom in and use two AFM's and a gtr PFC?

In my case, if i buy the PFC, boost controller, AFM and modify the loom, it will end up being the same cost as the Autronic; ive just gotta find out whether tuning costs will be significantly different (Autronic tune = $$$$ i think).

Im using a highmount set up because i believe it looks better (im not a w@nker for that), and because i got the manifold for an excellent price. With some easy mods the manifold will work well and the heat due to increased surface area can be dealt with easily.

I dont know much about T04's, but id be interested to see how a T04Z performed on an RB26. I think this turbo is a rebuildable ball bearing 800hp turbo????

Ive got a friend who has a T04Z on a 1JZ Cressida, and he does a 10.7 (with nitrous tho). I dont think it comes on until about 5200rpm with cams and is a dog on the street.

yeah the reason for a high mount is more cooling and also there is more room available to work with one big single. it will be easier to manage.

Yet to be decided about the wiring loom, i will try and go for the GTST loom, (even tho mine has been cut 50 times and put back together) and go for the single AFM, but have to source out the PFC. or go with the GTR ProFC and get 2x Z32 AFM's.

I will be HPC the manifold as well for the extra cooling to make sure that it all runs well, unlike yourself i dont have the vented bonnet :) more money later on for that.

As good as the HPC coating is, alone it wont be enough to control under bonnet temps. In addition it may be a good idea to use some thin aluminium to make up a few shields, perhaps the blankets for the exhaust housing...or may consider wrapping the manifolds up with the exhaust wrap. If you are going to use the wrap dotn bother with the high temp silicon spray that they recommend you apply, its meant to protect/preserve the wrap but i foind it just makes the wrap brittle and ends up crumbling after you have given a good few hits of high temp

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      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.
