Adam, I have the same turbos as you all be it not on a built engine like yours :ninja: ; both combos are tuned by Ant.

If your chasing 450whp just go a little more boost, mine makes 430rwhp all day no probs...yet lol. As for the response; I would go for some smaller cams. Ultimately Johns' step 1 HKS kit looks the way to go...again tuned by the same guy on the same dyno. John is making 100whp more than mine at the same speed with essentially the same turbos, 2530/2860-5.

In the end there is always a trade off between response and power...unless you have one of those freaky bespoke Racepace strokers...2.95 combos SR rods on a custom billet crank...

ooops edit the capacity of the Racepace. Cheers Steve

If im reading that chart correctly HKS 2510's will do around 440hp atw??

I have them on my gtr but havnt driven it yet due to some problems. What what i have heard there response is amazing while still making good power

damn you Slide :P

how would these compare to the T517z 8cms?

Purely a theoretical question because I'm not planning on changing turbos... anytime soon :thumbsup:

back on topic, I would listen to what Ash said about cams... your cams would be setup for making peak power well over 6000rpm... they have massive overlap

We have only ever had the 10cm's and they achieve 350awkw at around 18 pound without head work.

They hit that boost pressure at roughly 4400rpm

With a 2.8LTR Tomei kit we have achieved 400awkw at 1.6 Bar

Boost at 4000 with poncams.

Its a good kit.

I have 8cms and they make 360rwkw at 20psi... hits 20 by about 4000rpm... would be nice to have another 100kw at the same rpm lol... it has Procams in it so it has a very strong top end but it could do with a change to smaller cams but I'm going to leave it as is for a while and see how it goes

Does anyone know the actual valve timing numbers for these "272" cams ?

I was just looking at Tighe rally Subaru cam specs recently and they were ~ 270 degrees , I think the valve timing numbers were about 25-65 67 23 . This gives an overlap of 48 degrees and not surprisingly the engines run like chaff cutters .

I wouldn't expect an RB26 with numbers like these to pull hard in the lower mid range no matter what turbos it had .

To make torque you have to have sufficient cylinder pressure in the relevant engine rev range and if you use longer duration cams with lots of overlap the trapping efficiency of the valves/cylinders is nowhere until the mass of the gasses carries them in the right directions .

I reckon use milder profile cams and see what happens with the turbos you have .

BTW -9's are the GTSS's not -7's .

Turbo wise if you wanted to build bitzers from Garrett cartridges the one I'd look at is the one from the SR20 spec "GTSS" GT2860R . These have the NS111 turbine found in GT2860RS's/GT2530's etc but the compressor wheel is the 60.1mm 60T . They are intended to be a mild bolt on for an SR20 but with GTR style housings they would be just a little tamer than a 2860RS or 2530 .

Three things pull the bottom end up with GTR spec GTss's/-9's compared to 2530's .

Firstly their turbines are 10 bladed 62 trim where the better NS111 ones are 9 bladed 76 trim .

Secondly their compressor wheels are 59.7mm 56 trim where the 2530's are 60.1mm 63 trim .

Thirdly the compressor housings are T3 dimensionally where 2530s are supposed to be T04B .

    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
