All good man just having a friendly dig.. :thumbsup: Back on topic...

Fair enough... was a bit cheeky though! ;) I am a bit of a nerd especially when I don't know something, come hell or high water I want to know exactly what and how happens.

To rob82 my comments were more to suggest that an internal wastegate creates more back pressure on the exhaust side. I also think you answered your own question as well... why would you have a large frame single turbo on a small capacity engine with small cams? Engine would choke before the turbocharger even came into its own.

I honestly think that most internal wastegated turbo would cause less flow disruption/diversion at the point of gating than most externally gated setups. Hence the exhuast backpressure would be less for the same size turbo with an internal gate vs external gate.

Also I was just trying to point out before that if response is the goal massive cams are not the go.

No better example of this than ole mate Marko really.

About time you did, everyone will benefit.

I mean you supposedly asked for a tune without a midrange...

And are firmly on the big cam bandwagon this month:

Yet only 2 months ago you come out with this?

Says it all really. :rolleyes:

i am not prepared to go into detail of my old engine setup as it is not my business to share this intell, however, i will tell you that the engine is running 100kw less - case closed.

my cam choice has ALWAYS been chosen by my tuner - not what i read on the internet from a computer warrior. for example, would someone who has built many rb's (i.e. CRD, RIPS, Red R Racing, Hi Octane) carry more weight than a someone like yourself or me for that matter? stop kidding yourself...how many engines have you built ash & how many combinations have u personally tried?

i have had this thread reviewed (not disclosing name) i am sure you will keep following me around as its blatantly obvious, please stop trolling and posting off topic as this is not the 1st time.

thank you & sorry guys

Sorry mate you are wrong there on your first paragraph.

Yes, you want response choose small turbos like HKS GT-SS or N1 upgrade (which means high exhaust manifold back pressure) and chosing short duration camshafts with little or no overlap.

Can you explain why I am wrong.

I dont think you understand what I am saying - try reading my post again.

Under the assumption that the external wastegate is vented to atmosphere your theory is incorrect.

Arguing with you is like masturbating with a cheese grater - slighty amusing but mostly painful!

WTF are you talking about.

Real world data. Rb26 at 86.5 bore, stock stroke, all steel internals (endurance spec build, probably overkill, but I hate failures), Tomei 280 degree 10.8 mm lift cams, Tomei cooling channel pistons at stock CR, Motec M800 ecu, stock TB's, stock CR, mildly ported head, all manifolds port aligned, stock ported cast manifolds, NO AFM's, MAP / Throttle based but with 4D mapping, stock elbows, -10 turbos, 3 inch ultra quiet exhaust (98Db at 2/3 max rpm static), 850 CC injectors off single 044 pump, in a GTS-T RWD shell. 1.2 bar boot. Motec shows absolute, not gauge pressure. mikey whatsisname speaks a lot of sense, IMHO.

In car with basic data overlay from same track day:

Manually synched to video, so a tad out, sorry.

I want to try the bigger -10 turbine housings. Car is a pussy cat on the road, no shuffle at all, totally pleasant off boost and at cruise. Would benefit from a less restrictive exhaust system, exhaust manifold pressure V boost pressure ratio is not brilliant, but here in the UK noise is a major issue. Car runs from the roadside pump Shell V power, no det, no issues.

Edited by Chris Wilson

I think your throttle % mapping is a bit out, highest it gets too is 65% or so whilst the 'bar' is maxed?

5500rpm in second @ full noise before 1.2bar. Maybe you need 290 cams as well to bring them on @ 4500rpm like some around here have claimed :rolleyes:

Pity the data cuts out half way through the video man, it was just looking to get interesting :(

Yes, I am just trying this manual data overlay app (Race Render, it's me, not the app as such, it's trickier than I imagined...), I am beginning to wonder just how far from synched this is, take it with a pinch of salt, but you get the basic idea. Just shut one eye ;) Automagical synching is available from Motec, but the bank manager is dubious about its merits this month ;)

I am in the UK, but try and keep an eye on all the Skyline sites. Cheers. I may have another go at doing a better synch. I have sold my Go Pro Hero camera and for next season will either get the Motec stuff if they come good on their intent to offer a higher resolution camera setup, or buy a camera that time stamps the video. The GPS data channels have a GPS time function, so tying up the two should be far easier then. Cheers.

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
