The thing that bothers me when looking at the dyno print out is that the power is already rolling off before the car even hits max boost. And it seems to take forever to hit it. It may be a whole different story on the street as the settings on the dyno may not load the car up like on the street.

Something else to consider is there is no shootout data on your printout and so (i assume) no correction. In most cases correction pushes the figure up. For example, an 8 degree difference in ambient and inlet temp will give a 3-4% increase in the figure shown on the printout. and thats only one correction.

wow.. 19psi for only 245rwkw..

Hows it feel to drive?

19psi and 245rwkwk.. :( Maybe the dyno is conservative?

The rb turbine is a .6 something, there's no listed specs but thats what they apparently measure up as, the VG30/R34 turbine housings are a .7 something.

Dynos are a good tuning tool only. Its hard to compare dynos and dynos

Examples.

1) Barometer readings and temp readings give corrections readings. All increase or decrease your rwkw. Put in a low barometer reading and your rwkw goes up. My dyno operator barometer was way out, like 980 on the barometer. My figures where always high, 207/215 rwkw (stock turbo) 220rwkw (2530. no PFC).

2

) Ran my car on dyno, only 225rwkw when i ran 12.55@113mph. Car was very very strong as backed up by 1/4 times. Ran a guy with a 244rwkw from a well known Skyline shop, and it wasnt even close on a rolling run. We had about 4 rolling runs and even if he jumped me i could still peg him back and pass.

3) Dynoed with 2535 last night and only pushed 231rwkw (same as dyno no.1 but with fixed barometer, the operator reckons its costed 20rwkw) but car feels stronger than ever.

So my point is, judge by going in with figure A and coming out with B, you should judge your figures by this and not by other dynos. Really the best judge of power is 1/4.

Yea, It was not run in shootout mode

Throw it on another well known dyno to see how it rates and what they think of the setup power/boost you are using.

Always good to grab a second opinion. :(

What EBC are you using? Its working damn well to hold 19psi.

PFC Boost control kit :(

GunMetalR33, when i had my GTRS turbo installed and producing the same power as you on 1.3bar (19spi) i realised after a it got a bit colder i got slight knock. only way i detected this is on my dial display. i dont have a hand controller but i could not hear anything so it was not pinging. would only happen at high rpm. the tuner reduced the boost, richened it up and took timing back few degrees and it made 230@the wheels on 1.2 bar and does not ping anymore. I was told that my exhaust manifold (factory) was too restrictive for the power/airflow. i have just added cams and plenum and new manifold so i will see how it goes back on 19psi now. Ill try repost next wednesday when they retune and let you know.

inlet temps are satisfactory?

to head for 300rwkw with the standard 25 housing would have to be asking for a bit?

it sounds a little like, when cubes had the RB20 turbo on the 3L, the tuner had to remove a heap of timing up top because of the back pressure to prevent detonation.

Unsure if you know.

I dropped the VG30DET turbo on with its .7 something turbine housing. Instantly I was able to run 20-21degree's right the way through, I hadn't tweaked just bumped it up a little, boost is the same.

Up from 15-16 degree's its quite a bit.

i dont have a hand controller but i could not hear anything so it was not pinging.

if the light was going off, it was most certainly.

its the ping/detonation that you dont hear thats the problem.

if you can hear it... it could well be too late

Sounds good,

What cost would I be looking at if I was to put the vg30 zaust housing on the back of my GT30?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
