Question, is that with the bottle, or without it?

without

i think it comes on about 3300 with nos and full at 4300 or so

when i get the ecu back

ill post two dyno sheets

one without nos and one with to compare

Edited by MR331307
i own the one ur building, hurry up and finish it! :starwars:

ahhahahahhaahhahahahaha

yes i better anounce this

i borrowed my mates plates SCRMER

my plates are LNEMUP

im building his car

it has a Trust t88

Forged pistons,rods,crank,jun pump,Larger oil sump,GTR head,LARGE CAMS,custom cooler,Hydra ECU,1000cc injectors.

will be ready in 2 weeks

R31Nismoid

where you located

i will be traveling to heathcote one day over the next few months

maybe you can come to view the car

Vic, about 1.5hours from heathcote.

But lemme know if you do head down there, and if im free ill come for a cruise.

Might even have my car back for some drag workout :starwars:

hey jason good work mate, ya always get people having a go at whatever you try, but thats life :)

u shut alot of people up runnin a 10 and now u just gotta shut the rest up with a 9 haha :)

good luck in the hunt for 9's :)

Thanks mate

if i can organise an auto or dog box

i will gain .7 of a second

to start with from what we calculated in time losing while changing gears

then a little more power and harder launch should run a 9

well what im aiming for anyway

2 weeks he says! i have witnesses now :)

compressor surge is caused when your cylinder head cant flow what is being pushed through it. camshafts are your answer. GT35/40 are rated for 700hp.

Just a quick question, you say you have a gt3540 - just wondering what specs as mine has the 0.82 rear and is making 480rwhp with slight compressor surge (meaning the turbo has run out of flow) and 24psi, mine also sees full boost early 4000rpms - just after a comparison with when yours sees full boost as im assuming you have a 1.06 exhaust

And congrats on the power and qtr time

Thanks mate

Does that mean you think 10.8 is as fast as it is going to go with the standard gearbox?

:P cheers :)

i think that is

if i flat change i think it will blow in the first couple runs

i am trying to find a dog box if any 1 has 1 for sale.

I was of the impression compressor surge meant the turbo had run out of flow capacity, GCG apperantly do an anti surge front cover which has small holes to help with flow. I am thinking of doing this and 66mm front wheel if it won't make it noticeably laggier

according to garrett's site compress surge occurs when the pressure past the compressor outlet is greater than the pressure the compressor wheel can supply, ie the compressor map dictates that it can supply 12psi compression in the ideal scenario in the compressor island, but for some reason the pressure past the outlet, in intercooler/manifold pipework is above that 12psi level

They are bypass holes, they don't increase the maximum flow capacity of the compressor. They are used to prevent the problem that paulr33 explained in the previous post.

:) cheers :P

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
