Im sceptical just as URAS is untill I can see correction figures.

Get them to run it up after the tune in shootout mode and make sure there are figures at the bottom like this one has.

Fairly easy to define a legit graph to a dodgy one then.

tell me what i need to ask for when he does it again on saturday, the HP figure means little to me but a safe AFR does.

Next time i will leave the arabic writting on the sheet so you can read that too :-)

yer i reckon i can ask him to do that thanks for the info

And another thing is with these turbos and no supporting mods you can expect bad compressor surge, as I've just found out! My GTR's barely drivable around town! So it looks like it's back into the garage for mine until I can afford the required extra's. :D

Well let me rephrase that.. just forewarning you... it's a possibility that you could end up with an undriveable car due to shuffle because of no supporting mods.

I have bugger all mods at this stage other than the usuals i.e exhaust, pods etc. No after market engine management (mines modified). One of my original turbo's shit itself and I plan to do quite a few mods later on and so wanted turbo's that will be up for it later on down the track hence the GT2860-5's (Never pulling them off again!! What a shit of a job!!!) And now have bad shuffle at cruise and low speeds.

Turbo's ,especially 2530(-5)or GTRS(-10) for a gtr need some mods.

1-Exhaust should be at least 3" right through...including CAT.(Air)

2-Fuel pump replaced to NISMO with regulator.(Fuel)

3-A tune is required with an after-market ECU.

You don't expect more power when the Engine is in a mild state of tune...do you?

How do you expect things work...get a Turbo('s) that is larger and assume the car will be better...wrong?

You made the right choice with the 2530's...you just have not been listening to what every-one is saying.

hmmm i think i will wait till i get a powerfc and a pump and get the car tuned for low boost before i drive it then.

hmmm you have other issues, even though im no fan of 2860's i have fitted them to stockers b4 with no hassles in fact i just fitted larger T517Z's to my missus's RB26 powered silvia and it drives fine (no boost etc) of course it needs a tune but it would be safe as houses to go to shops and back....even as a daily commuter it would suffice until dyno time should present itself.. road tuning ruled out on this one....its a bit anti-social.

Yes i know and if you read my post properly it explains my reasons for putting these turbo's on without any supporting mods. JohnnyT originaly asked if his car would be ok with -5 turbo's and no supporting mods. And I'm simply saying that yes it will but he can't expect it to run properly..... like mine.

Hmm, possibly do have other issues, I didn't change anything other than a small amount of metal off the exhaust manifolds??

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
