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. :)

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 馃槶 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 馃ぃ
