Looks like the turbo could be out of flow. Given there is a 20rwkw drop from 5000-5700rpm :)

I'm guessing the results drop severly hard after 5700rpm? That is why run stopped?

Were there any issues with boost control or just compressor running out of puff/flow?

for what it's worth the stock turbo looks like;

160km/h = 5714rpm = 195rwkw

170km/h = 6074rpm = 189rwkw

the stock turbo seems to peak at 5700rpm ish

and the prototype seems to peak at 5000rpm ish

this is based on my stock turbo tune

neither is right or wrong just offering data

i think a 33 GTST with that powerband would be pretty sweet on the street

its a good 50rwkw ahead everywhere in the power band so it should be shit hot

Looks like a tad bigger would be far better suited to the motor though. Enough to get it flattening off around the 6500 mark would be far better.

Impressive results nonetheless.

i drove this car today.. it is an ANIMAL of a street car! absolutely in love with the response... congrats Stao :wub:

i didn't really rev it out to redline, probably only about 5.5k, so i didn't get to experience the drop off in power.. still heaps of fun though

I'm modeling a turbine housing that has external gate ports in and out to have an external gate replacing the current actuator setup. So boost control issues is going to be history. shortly.

looks to be like the compressor has plenty of puff and the exhaust housing is out of flow..

No NO. Please do not cancel your trip for this turbo. There are still few things I'm doing to get it perfect. I will make it commercially available when ready.

With the drop it could be if the housing's maxed, external gate should solve abit of that issue. We see what happens.

I too can attest for this turbo, Stao let me take it for a spin on saturday. Car is super responsive, 1st and 2nd gear are just insane and third pulls very nicely but looses the insanity slightly. But by then your doing over any legal speed limit anyway. So if its response your after I would definitely recommend this.

Thanks again for the drive!

Would I be right in saying this is a HKS GTRS replacement?

I dont believe so... needs to touch 280-290rwkw and maintain its topend while still beeing internal gate to get up on same level, i'd more so go with its a 2530 replacement considering the figures and much better response...

I would say it looks a close thing with a HKS GT-RS although it is coming on quite a bit earlier.

Getting a HKS GT-RS to 280-290rwkw is stretch with very few getting there from what I have seen.

250-260rwkw is probably a more realistic expectation.

^ yeah but holding to 7500-8000rpm is also looking like a problem.

Although given a lot of people want bolt-on replacement for "stealth", not sure going to external gate is going help sales as such :P

agreed, the exhaust housing to me really seems to be the bottleneck in the setup.

My GT-RS is managing 253rwkw at only 14psi (i know different dynos vary, but thats on the godzilla motorsports one).

So im hoping its capable of 270rwkw-280rwkw with 20psi through it.

This turbo looks alright.

I have never seen one make 280-290 rwkw on a stock rb25.

Same as I dont think I have seen a 2530 make 250rwkw...

seems like this thing would drive like a V8 haha.

i think its near impossible to have a turbo be as responsive as this and make decent top end.

the small rear housing will refuse to hold high boost at high rpm, therefore peak power at 5,000 odd.

but peaking at 5,000 i think seems a waste of the revving nature of the RB.

truly a street turbo; lots a power in the early rev range, but with no top end.

would be interesting to see how you go with boost control.

    • 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.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
    • The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
    • If you're claiming the issues are not skyline specific, then either the USA is living in the 90s / early 2000s, OR you have the issue of "survivor bias". Which is you're mainly hearing and listening to those with terrible experiences, and haven't found the guys who have cars with good decent builds and no problems. It happens in AU too, that plenty of people keep having issues, and they keep going to the workshops that are known to be shit "because I read on the internet". Even worse, are those who keep posting on the internet as though they know for a fact what something is, when they've never touched/looked at said item in their life, and again are making assumptions, based on something they read, or because it's a certain way in other cars. It's even funnier when those same people debate the facts with the people who've lived and breathed this stuff for over 15 years. Example, I've had someone tell me you can't do something with a Skyline, because they read it on the internet, except I can tell they're wrong, as I did that exact thing back in 2008 with my Skyline.
    • The funniest part I saw, was someone would bitch and moan on FB about something, Andy would be the one to respond, asking for more info, if he could contact them, what the engine setup is, what their config file was, and 95% of the responses were people just going "der! It doesn't work" and Andy going "What doesn't work?" And then going "The firmware!" And they'd go around in circles as no one could ever give information, and Haltech couldn't fault things on the bench, (especially when people wouldn't give any specifics).   Many moons ago, when Andy was back at e420c stage, he reached out to me, and asked me to test different plug and play looms for him (already had an e420c in the car on his V1 PNP loom). And he kept asking me, as I was competent enough to be able to give him some specific feedback on what was/wasn't working, how to replicate the faults etc, and work through things with him. Most people are terrible at answering the questions they're asked, or being able to provide quality feedback other than "it doesn't work".
