For a GT-RS on a RB25 it seems to be coming on fairly late at 3600rpm.

The peak looks about right so there is still room for more power earlier when that is sorted. I'd expect it to be all in about 500rpm or so earlier.

I think he is concerned that excessive blowby will develop if I go any further HP wise.

Apparently the standard exhaust manifold starts to become a restriction at this level too, ie excessive exhaust pressure/heat buildup. Correct me if I'm wrong.

dont think so dude... i had my old car making 290rwkw on the standard manifolds and it was all good... no catch can either :D

he must want you to have it as a precaution rather than anything else...

The manifold is not an issue at that power level.

I would have a look at the wastegate as a reason for the lazy-ish boost response.

So thats just a matter of fitting a tighter spring, right? Would the stock BOV have anything to do with this ie leaking?

How long were you running that power level? How do you know you didnt have blowby if you didnt have a catch can?

I dont think you will get much more than 250rwkw out of a GTRS on a stock RB25. But it should have really good response.

If the stock bov was the issue you would have issues with high amounts of air not with response.

Mine GT-RS runs 256rwkw @ 14psi.

However, it has headwork, HKS cams, Plazaman plenum aswell.

Nice results! Bet you are happy. Gets boring quick tho :P

Standard everything else, RB25, Powerfc, injectors, FMIC, exhaust, and GT3076 with 56trim, 0.6 comp cover, a 0.63 IW rear housing, 18psi of boost. Full boost at about 3100rpm.

Boost was on steady here to stop traction loss. Came on hard though, and at around 3000rpm as I said.

Set up the 3076 properly, and it will not be laggy.

Er.. while thats annoying to see it spooling earlier than my smaller turbo, its not entirely relevant now that I have a GT-RS :P

I am pretty happy with the way it drives though, much smoother coming onto boost.

Unfortunately after 6 months of being f**ked around by yellow sticker, getting hail damage, and having it stuck at the workshop for 3 weeks getting tuned guess what.. its been raining all day yesterday and today, which means I can't really test the acceleration properly.

since we're posting set ups...

heres mine... stock neo motor, un opened except for poncams type b's, has AM performance stainless steel steam pipe manifold with custom collector, 3076, tial 44 gate, fmic, 3.5 inch exhaust, nistune, 600cc injectors and runs 50/50 ethanol/bp98

running 16 psi too... its crazy to drive and is very VERY responsive. torque chart was on the wrong read out when they printed it but it makes around 550 nm torque at the wheels.

Check the wastegate preload SoFreshSoClean. If the actuator has some play in it, crack the 10mm nut and go a turn or two!

This wont need retuning because the AFM compensates for the extra air and adds fuel right?

Gonna have a look-see tomorrow. If its stopped raining. Which it hasnt. :)

    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
