Well any model GTST that has steel wheels (think r32 might) can run higher boost, the other GTST turbos (33/34) have ceramic turbos which means that it will crack under to much boost... not sure what wheels the t28s have and not sure whats safe on them, generally dont have to many kms on these units so can run higher boost through them anyway :)

Its not to do with the b/b or bush bearing nature of the turbo, its to do with the compressor/exhaust wheels on them :P

Someone feel free to correct me if im wrong?

As usual, I'll correct you.

R32 - R34 GTST/GTT all have Ceramic exhaust wheels.

R33 series II and R34 GTT have a form of plastic Compressor wheel (the wheel on the front on the air filter side of the turbo)

I believe the R32 GTR also has ceramic exhaust wheel. not sure about R33 GTR.

that is why people tend to upgrade to N1 turbo's which are steel wheel.

R32 GTST - R34 GTT (all single turbo skylines) all have Ball Bearing turbo's.

Whitenight - no.. it does not mean you can get 225rwkw out of a T28 from an S15 when on a skyline.

The S15 turbo will be a downgrade to the RB25 stock turbo.

it is smaller and will flow less.

it is also a different bolt pattern which would require more mods to fit.

S15 turbo's are good upgrades for CA18's or SR20's from the S13 range.

and usually also go good for those that Turgo charge their 4agze which is the 1.6L supercharged toyota engine.

You need to get over urself mate :P

I have seen a dyno of 215rwkw on an s15 with a t28 b/b turbo, also did have cams and on an rb25 it may make more power due to the engine... but thats really really at the max of the turbo mate, its not usual to see that kind of figure!

What you believe as a correct fact in regards to a WRX vs R33 could also be regarded as incorrect unless you have both cars in stock standard form to compair?

Do you think you can stop laying into me about trying to help, its not as if i said this is how it is hints y i asked for any1 to correct me which you wanted to do in a smart ass manner... wouldn't of said anything if you would of said 'actually Jazza r32s also have ceramic turbo's' instead of ill correct you again.

Dont think im asking too much to not get attitude do you?

Scathing -  

yeh that would be Brentons right?

I think he had in the region of 225 rwkw with a lot of other mods apart from the turbo.

Scathing, if you are the same scathing on other forums, then you'll know Dale.

and I think that night you were hitting 14 flat in the tree fiddy... if that is you..

Yep, and yep.

Very unimpressed with my ET. There's definitely more in the car, but after I set the 14 flat I just got a little too excited trying to break my NA light-tune barge into the 13's, and ended up screwing up the next couple of launches.

I figured you were talking about Dale before. The other thing about Dale's car is that his suspension is set up for the track. He did soften the dampers out and run lower-than-normal pressures, but the rest of the geometry is still very circuit oriented.

And he was using the D01J's which, with their ultra-stiff sidewalls, aren't the best drag tyre in the world.

the only time I got down there, it was a good day.

Greg (not old man but the other one... Sellby I think it is (the suspension dude)) was there and he helped out a few of us first timers.

anyway, after a few soggy laps in my S14 with S15 stock suspension, I parked it and went for a drive with Dale.

after seeing/feeling the way his car taking the corners with the teins and DJ01's, I didn't take my car back out.. I was quite scared being in his car and the corner speed and late braking that he could do.

Brenton was there and he put on a set of yokahama slicks.

hahahaha

I had asked him to take me for a spin in his at lunch, but after experiencing what Dales car co do with less power (he had his boost controller down to 11psi) and with just semi slicks, I chickened out of a ride with brenton..

hahahahaha

Yeah s14 i would say 170rwkw to 180rwkw and a 1/4 mile in the mid to high 13's...just my 2 cents

My mate has these mods and dynoed 160rwkw but that dyno reads 10% low, so it will also depend on the dyno you get the reading from, gear, tyre psi and dyno mode etc.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
