ill give him full credit once its tuned and running properly... its only idling and light revs atm lol

dont let it idle for too long...id keep it shut down now until you can give it some decent revs with the engine loaded up as this will help the rings to bed properly. Then feed it some boost!!

I know its hard to have it sit there and not drive it, but you should only turn key when you are ready to drive/tune it. It will give the engine the best possible chance to bed everything in.

that link is how i like to do things...don't baby them...run them hard to give them every possible chance.

hows the update going with this?

any final power figures?

don't quote me but i think it was making boost at 3000rpm and full boost at 4100rpm...they got to 530hp before the dyno shat itself. Ill get Simon to post when proper info comes to hand.

  • 4 weeks later...

first proper dyno sheet 22p 536.3hp at only 7500 start to die off im gonna put it down to the size of the ex housing .81 single entry

he still hasnt touched the cam gear still set at 0 both sides and he said he still hasnt started looking for power. still conservative nearly 550ks to a tank so im pretty happy with it....

response for the size turbo it is is quite insane aswell neways have a gander

yeh ur rite file size is huge lol.... and no its not a run in tune.... thats basically a half done proper tune i had sum minor boost leaks to fix b4 he would push it ne further...... and wen i got back afta tightening a few t bolt clamps etc the dyno had magically arsed itself.... i waited 4 days in total to get the car redone only to try a sidestep of the clutch in 3rd and lets just say we found the weak point.... believe this or not but a hks gd max twin plate slipped b4 the gbox let go..... so yeh i wasted those four days down in brisbane for nuthin. im abit down for cash atm so thats the tune its gettin for the moment until the clutch is done. still tho 402rwkw is still nuthin to snuff ya nose at....

400rwkw is a good number dont get me wrong, but its only 46hp more than my 25 at basically the same boost level with a GT30. Granted im running E85.

I would have though an RB28 with big cams and a T04Z would be making a little more than that, maybe im wrong.

like i said theres still not finished.... havent touched cam gears at all 20p still 5 pound to go and also havent started pushing the timing at all yet its still very conservative. and yes e85 is good shit so ive heard im only on bp ultimate because thats all i can get..... and yeh i wasnt exactly happy with the first figure either but hey its a start and im going from there

    • All of that is absolutely true. At any time in the history of these turbos the lottery has always been that it could die at stock boost treated exactly as the factory intended, or it could die when pushed to 10, or 12, or 14, or 16 psi, after a short time, or a longer time, or it could last seemingly forever. You have the combination of all the possible statistical (probably) normal distributions of manufacturing tolerances and quality outcomes, on top of the statistical distributions of failure modes (which might be normal, but are probably biased, like Poisson distributions). You get the lucky turbo and you can beat on it for years. You get the really unlucky turbo and it will crap itself as it rolls out of the factory gate. And every possibility in between. But you can definitely still kill the lucky turbo. It's just that most people didn't try, once they knew they really shouldn't try.
    • Maybe I have Stockholm syndrome but working on an M2 isn't that hard. Getting parts cheaply and quickly is hard, but getting parts same day isn't necessarily hard if you're willing to pay way too much for it at local dealers. There's a lot going on, you need to have a build of ISTA on a laptop and the right cable, if you don't have the mindset of "do it exactly right or not at all" you will probably start seeing cascading failures. Skylines are a little more tolerant in that regard. The car doesn't potentially trash itself if you bought the wrong oil filter like a BMW would. Or trash the entire cylinder head and potentially spin a bearing because someone took the anti-drainback valve out of the plastic oil filter cap. An M2 will also do just fine on track, zero oil starvation concerns, factory brakes are great if you change the pads for a high temp compound + flush with track-ready fluid.
    • The "ideal/formula" that used to be touted was death of the turbo is going to be caused by a combination of 3 things. Heat Speed of turbo (boost level you're pushing) Time   Basically, you can get away with high heat and high boost for short periods. But start doing long hard pulls, or circuit driving etc, and now you've increased time as well which will shred things. From memory when Adrian was drag racing he was running 17psi, on a stock turbo, and running insane speeds. But he also had other additives helping in the setup too. Some people have success at 14psi for a while, while others due to pushing the cars hard for long periods opt down to lower temps. But also, generate a lot of heat (let's say bad tune), for a long time, and you'll be okay, until you try to spin that little guy up slightly. It's the one advantage of dumping a lot of fuel in, you'll be reducing EGT a bit and helping with the heat portion of the above 3 areas.   And these days, stock turbos are that old that there's the possibility of just outright failures due to material age. I'm not shocked that even when used in factory spec that a stock turbo fails when 30 years old. It's a worn out "precision" "balanced" performance item, that's likely no longer precise, or well balanced
    • this... hence I said what I said previously, SMSP nights you see mainly Hondas, Evos, A90s, F80x and the odd VW. The 5 or 6 times I went, I only saw 1x R32 GT-R, and other than that I was the only one in a shit box Skyline.
    • Yeah, but it's not "boost" that they can take more of. Well, I guess it actually is. They are the same turbine, driving different compressors. I think the failure is more of a turbine temperature and (probably mostly) speed thing. I think the RB25s end up needing the turbine to reach higher speeds in order to drive the compressor to achieve the same boost level. So they will fail at lower boost on a 25 because they've actually reached the same failure speed that they do on a 20 at a higher boost pressure. If that makes sense?
