In regards to the Japanese Performance R33 GTS25t - I'd love to be reminded the 1/4mile time and ET of BU5TER which has a T51R on an RB30 hybrid.... I have a magazine article here saying it ran 10.5 @ 130mph withn 441rwkw!? Am I missing something? Thats running a drag-setup auto and I'd say with 3l it will have a torquier power delivery, and Dyno Dynamics dynos read a lot lower than a particularly high reading hub dyno. How come there aren't BS claims flying around about that time with that car?

I remember the Wild 1 Motorsports guy on here claiming big power figures from a GT3540R on their R33 and ended up doing a 10 USING NOS on their one.... and that didn't go as quick as Jap Performance either, despite the huge kick the NO2 would give it. Anyway, I know of a few cars doing 10s on pump gas with GT3540Rs - a mate of mine did a 10.7 with his EVO in full street trim (including tires) using .82a/r. Consider the .82a/r a turbo capable of getting you near 130mph on your average Japanese car on pump gas.

This RB25-30 combo has GT35 with .63housing because responce for drifting is its goal.

24PSI and modest tune for long life.When it was runninb 420rwhp it ran 134mph on Sava cheapo tyres.

When this car goes to the drag next we will try a harder tune but for now its close to what you want.

Lag is no ones freind.

NIB... Compared to others running cams it more so resembles the 1.06 spool/torque I've seen on various rb25/30 setups.

Your 100% thats a .63? It comes on almost like a .82 with stock cams. From what I've seen. You don't have a boost curve sheet handy?

EDIT: But in saying that it is making ~250rwkw around 4200rpm which with a .82 would require in the 20+psi range. Interesting. 250rwkw at ~4000rpm. No wonder it shreds tyres. :laugh:

Because if you done your homework you'd know I ran the 10.5 at 20psi with pump fuel, 235 radial tyres with a 1.8 60ft at 20psi I was making around 400rwkw also an auto car will always be a bit down on mph compared to the manual

hope that helps

Food for thought on the front cover 0.5 VS 0.7 Everyone just seems to ignore the front cover and only worry about the turbine housing.

Check this out. The smaller front may actually be better for average power.

http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32271

According to Garrett, the smaller front cover has a very minimal effect on power, and smaller AR's are actually better for higher boost levels. So I think I am on a winner with the 0.5 front. I was going to change it but I am not now. I think it might be better!

Compressor A/R - Compressor performance is comparatively insensitive to changes in A/R. Larger A/R housings are sometimes used to optimize performance of low boost applications, and smaller A/R are used for high boost applications. However, as this influence of A/R on compressor performance is minor, there are not A/R options available for compressor housings.

Because unlike your good self, most people know what conditions this time was run under. I have photos of the smoke pouring off of the small, radial tyres even at the moderate 20psi boost level used for these passes. Are you missing something? Probably not. Just keep in mind that magazines tend to talk about the best power a car has made and the best ET/TS a car has run HOWEVER these two figures may not go hand in hand at the time.

I remember the Wild 1 Motorsports guy on here claiming big power figures from a GT3540R on their R33 and ended up doing a 10 USING NOS on their one.... and that didn't go as quick as Jap Performance either, despite the huge kick the NO2 would give it.

The car setup was atrocious for this power level. Although the run was made on slicks it was made with the factory manual transmission and was a handful to drive. Mechanical problems made a run with the Powerglide impossible at the time. When did he use the nitrous (N2O btw)? How much power did it make when it ran? You have no idea.

Anyway, I know of a few cars doing 10s on pump gas with GT3540Rs - a mate of mine did a 10.7 with his EVO in full street trim (including tires) using .82a/r. Consider the .82a/r a turbo capable of getting you near 130mph on your average Japanese car on pump gas.

How on earth does a 2-litre 4-cylinder apply to this discussion????

Not a Rb, but on a 2j ,with everything stock bar 272 cams, my mates

3540 .82 made 410rwkw on a dd dyno on pump fuel on 23-24psi.

This was maxed out with no increase if more boost was added.

So i would think around 400-410 rwkw is it 3540 .82 wise.

It ran 10.8 at 128mph in a 1600kg Mk.3 supra when it made 370rwkw. So

i think the dyno reads about right.

cheers

Obviously everyone has noticed that it is a DynaPack dyno, hub style therefore no wheels and tyres, no wheelspin and no rollers. Hence higher numbers, all things being equal. It should realy be expressed as rhkw (rear hub kilowatts) not rwkw (rear wheel kilowatts) as there are no "wheels" on the car when it made that power run.

That it makes it max power at over 7,500 rpm, using a 0.82 to 1 A/R turbine is amazing, more like a miracle. More info needed...

It has Jun 260 degree cams, but they have 9.3 mm lift. Any comparison with the more common 8.X lift cams (eg; Tomei Poncams) is meaningless.

It also obviously has head work, otherwise it wouldn't make power at that high rpm. (Yep, the spec list says it does).

So removing restrictions (cams and head work) means similar airflow at lower boost level. Maybe 19 psi isn't so wide of the mark

The 10.65 for the 1/4 indicates no excess of traction, considering the mph. Nismo suspension, so I am not surprised. Around 345 rwkw would give you that sort of time.

The 128 mph indicates around 360 rwkw.

Based on past experiences, it is set to kW SAE which if I remember rightly means "at the engine" on a DynaPack. So the 450 kw less say 80 kw for losses = 370 rwkw in our usual terminolgy (Dyno Dynamics)

Summary;

ET = 345 rwkw

TS = 360 rwkw

Corrected dyno = 370 rwkw (in Dyno Dynamics speak)

Let's split the difference and say 365 rwkw, does that sound better?

:blink: cheers :P

You goto be spot on their SK,

Our R33 RB25 ran the GT3540 0.82A/R at 32psi of boost, hks 256cams with 8.8 lift no porting of the head, ran out of fuel to make extra power up top needed another 044. :sleep:

On 98octane it came out with 370rwkws and a 11.0 @ 129mph on slicks.

So to answer the theads question...

I think on race fuel and a bit of head porting you would see 400rwkws.

But you would still have to run up around the 30psi area.

So I would say it is safer to go the bigger exhaust housing.

Sydneykid

are you replying to the main question or are you just talking about the jap performance r33?

Cameron do you know what CR he was running?

There are alot of conflicting reports..

The engine had Arias piston and a 1.8mm tomei headgasket - Im unsure of the CR but if you know what comp the arias piston you could proberly work it out, Im guess somewere between 7.5:1 - 8.2:1 very low for a RB25, but this allowed us to run a consistant 32psi with out stressing the engine too much.

Dennis RB30 , thats a rather simplistic overview of the comparitive differences in alterations of Area Radius Ratio with turbine and compressor housings .

Yes changing turbine housing A/R makes a greater overall difference because this is what attempts to regulate the turbos rotating assembly speed in relation to engine speed .

Changing compressor housing A/R will alter the choke flow capacity of the compressor in relation to pressure ratio meaning maximum useful airflow flow vs boost pressure . This is how its possible to gain a bit more maximum compressor capacity and optimise it around the desired boost pressure to a degree .

It was explained to me years ago that the larger housing has less resistance to gas flow so moves a lot of gas at lowish pressure . The smaller housing has more resistance to flow so needs greater pressure to move the volume .

The thing to remember is that generating higher pressure means the turbine has to work harder so this will affect exhaust gas speed and turbine inlet pressure . Its all inter related so changes in one area will make the engine see a different world on both inlet and exhaust sides pressure wise .

Cheers A .

Dennis RB30 , thats a rather simplistic overview of the comparitive differences in alterations of Area Radius Ratio with turbine and compressor housings .

Yeah, fairly oversimplified, however I was only talking about comp AR's not rear housings. But I also linked to a real world example of a comp cover change on the XR6 site where the smaller cover seems to be much better over all than the larger one (well on an XR6 anyway). I don't know why the Garrett site only had that one small paragraph on comp covers when the site goes into a lot of technical detail in other areas.

Seems most of the RB30DET guys are getting a lot more lag with 0.82 rears than I am with a 1.06 rear and 0.5 front. I get 15psi by 3500rpm in second gear with a $200 ebay manifold (auto) probably equal to 3rd gear with a manual. According to the XR6 thread I linked to, the smaller front gives a LOT more response. Most people just ignore the front cover, or just get the biggest one possible when that may not be the best option. I'm just trying to get people to take notice of the front cover as it may have a bigger effect of the power curve than what they are led to believe.

From XR6 site. Chart is 0.5 front VS 0.7 front. As you can see it has MUCH better mid range power with some power loss in the top end, however it was running 2 psi less in the top end, and they reckon once they up the boost to where it was with the 0.7 it will "cream" the 0.7 there too. This is only one comparison and its on a 4 litre engine, but its enough to make you think twice about comp cover selection.

.jpg

Low down saw an improvement of ~55RWKW and 105Nm of Torque at a lowly ~3650rpm - Massive Improvement and only upping boost by ~3psi.

Up top at best saw a 10RWKW loss to the .70 cover, but the .50 is down ~2psi up there.. If we can get boost up in the rev range, it should cream the .70 - and my clutch which, btw is still stock and 70,oookm old

    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
