full boost is in the high 3k 3600-3800 i don't know why it looks that way on the dyno sheet but its way earlier than 5k.

also for every ones interest my mod to the air box is real dam good dyno run with the box and without was the same,we took the filter out and ran it and put it back in and it was the same power.

so my gamble was 110% right.

Ah ok, thats interesting.

The dyno is indicating a powerband from 120-180kmh, so 1/3 of the rev range (roughly). If you were to do it basically 8200/3 = 2733, x 2 = 5466. So the sheet is saying its on power at 5500 if its revving to 8200.

Is it possible that graph is for a lighter ramp rate or something like that?

on the ecu maps its set a 9000rpm as i have just looked at the tune so i have NFI why or what id love to really tell you what i think at the moment its easier if i just pm you about things i also have haltech reviewing everything as we speak online.

yes you are correct 4820rpm full boost of 23 psi the build up is so fast that you could swear its much earlier its tuned in ve mode (volumetric efficiency tuned)which is new to me.

That's good power for 98. I'm guessing its on full pelt about 5k? When does it start to get urgent?

Your setup is screaming for E85 Nick, that turbo is capable of making big numbers for its size.

I think 35R size turbos and bigger are wasted on setups that run moderately low boost levels. Chasing response is not really a goal anymore and you will only get frustrated doing so.

Very nice power but I am so far fairly disappointed with the lag, feeling reasonable considering how late the turbo comes on is more of a credit to the rest of the setup in spite of as opposed to thanks to the turbo. Unless there is a setup issue responsible of course, that is definitely laggier than just would have expected!

i think its probably normal for a gtx of that size, my gtx3076 on 98 was a late turbo, 18psi at 4000rpm but probably 4400ish til the back tires broke free.

E85 and more boost helped alot, but would do on most turbo's anyway.

disappointed nar its not that bad it really doesn't feel laggy honestly has anyone else had there car tuned on ve cos ive been in cars with lag but this feels different it could be set up.in the top end you see the torque drop of it was explained to me that its cos of the cams need to be bigger tuning in volumetric efficiency calculates the amount of air that can flow throw the engine and cos the head is ported the cams are my restriction ..............true or not i have NFI..lol thats the only set up issue that i can think of

That's odd, its on fairly late. Yet if it feels like its on much earlier I'm guessing it actually has good pull before being on boost?

its hard to explain it does not feels as it looks or sounds buy the dyno or the full boost by 4800 i need to do a vid on the car

If the efficiency of the engine drops off your VE numbers will tend to flatten out and sometimes run backwards.

That torque curve says it all. Add some more boost if you have a decent controller with rpm correction at the point where the torque curve falls over (150km/h). Power will keep climbing and torque curve will stay flatter.

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
