I wonder if we can coax Kando Dynamic to get the GTR style cast's so we can see some epic T517Z and T618Z action on the GTR.

They have the cores on shelf already.

i went for a drive in a 400+kw r34 gtr with a hks 2.8ltr and gtrs (big track car build from japan, big brakes ect ) on it and i absolutly couldnt wait to get in it, id been in and driven a few cars including a track prepped 2.6ltr with 2530s but never such a wild build like this, altough the r34 pulled like a train once past around 5000rpm, in all honesty it wasnt really exciting at all, nowhere near as exciting as the track r33 with 360kw, i mean the r34 had to back off at about 180( on a private road of course) as he was running out of road but i guess it all depends on what your after, im sure on the track this 34 may have been a different story all together, but i personaly think that the gtrs turbos he was running were way to big for his application(2.8ltr and street car), let alone a 2.6ltr, i mean im not sure what your after but by the time the power is unleashed its going twice the speed limit,

im sure there would be proven setups on the gtrs on 2.6s out there, but im just goin by my own experiences ,

but if its a drag car or set up for big tracks then by all means, i cant remember if twoogle was a 2.6 or stroked, but that pulled a 9 so depends on your application i guess

twoogle was a 2.6ltr with gtrs's & that made over 550awkw.

you are right though, horses for courses & personal aspirations...my rb2630 with -10s pulled like a train but didnt have the same rush up top as my rb26 with gtrs's.

you are either a 2 stroke man or 4 stroke man, i like my 2 strokes :cheers:

yeah he sure did but they were not in factory position....

apexi RX6s are some cool high mount twins for a GTR too. there a lots of high mount options but -10s/GTRS are the biggest low mounts. the -10s with the big rear housings are for all purposes useless in twin form on a GTR even if it is a 3L.

Couldn't agree more. I have that setup on my car ATM and its a completely useless setup both on the street and on a track (like Wakefield).

RS's = bin, -5's = take their spot!

paul - that was a very nice launch, i should have recorded it off my blackberry!

sorry guys, off topic

U need to try bigger cams like 290's. Will premote earlier spool and more power with ur RS's

twoogle was a 2.6ltr with gtrs's & that made over 550awkw.

Gtrs making 550awkw 737awhp I'm sure that number keeps growing??

And I still don't understand why ppl think big cams don't work when it has been proven by workshops I know of...look at rips racings stealth r34 which is a torque monster and runs 290's!

Was proven on twoogle. Made 50kw more and around 1000rpm more response

Can you confirm it was on the same engine/head setup just different cams?? He had the GTRS's on his near stock engine aswell. From memory it was a complete new engine just the same GTRS turbo setup that gained the power and response.. I remember reading a classic post of his on GTRUK forum when someone was comparing garrett to his beloved HKS turbos he came in and said well go try making X amount of power on your GT4202 as i did on my $4000+T51R SPL forgetting he already told everyone his turbo had a GT45 wheel upgrade.. Apples to oranges...

^ LOL.

Yeah but do they run 10:1 AFRs?

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
