Got the car back today, pulled 287kw @ 18psi, full boost around 4000/4100rpm range according to the dyno sheet.

Only drove the car for the 10 min drive home, and it pulls hard on boost. Will give it a good run over the weekend to see whats what, and will post up the dyno graph hopefully tomorrow :D

Cheers mate,

Low boost @14psi is still through the EBC, which is a Greddy Profec Bspec 2.

The cam gears were pretty much left untouched from the original tune with the std turbos which was response. The settings that i can read (through the clear cam cover) look like:

- about 2-3deg adv. on intake side and about 2deg ret. on exhaust side (which is a bit hard to read because of the CAS being in the way).

Been for a couple of runs to the shops and the car is still very responsive. Would be hard to beat in the hills I reckon lol.

Though the real boost doesn't come on til around the 4k mark (up about 300-400 on std turbos), the car is still much quicker while its coming onto boost than it ever was, and its really pulling hard at about 5K all the way through the revs. So you could say the car is now quicker everywhere through the revs.

The -9's seem to be an almost perfect match to the revvy nature of the RB26 when compared to the std "choke" turbos.

Yea I agree with it being quicker coming into boost. As I shown above I got it to basically the same level of boost at the same rpm but it actually feels better than the stocks coming into boost

Today I disconnected the signal going to the acts and it showed that these babies are capable of 18psi at around 4k hence why i asked about your cam gear settings as I feel there might have some gain to be had there still.

What boost are you seeing with the ebc off? I have the 8.8psi acts so I'm trying to get the best response I can with them by adjusting preload and then i would interfere with the ebc. Did you adj prelaod on yours btw?

Mine are the 1 bar actuators but I haven't driven it with the EBC off.

I set the preload just by adjusting the rod until it freely slid onto the pin then turned the adjustment in 6 half turns so the rod needed to be pulled onto the pin with a bit of effort. Do you think there is much to be had by adjusting them anymore than that? what was your initial preload and how much adjustment has been required to show the results you have got?

When I got mine the section of the hole towards the end of the rod was sitting on the middle of the pin on the wasteagate flap. I tightened it in 2 complete turns and it now sits almost to the edge of the pin.....a little effort to go on but nothing hard to do, and I noticed the oem turbs had about the same preload too as I have them on now.

I will continue to fiddle with them as it only takes me about 10mins to adjust....the hardest part is letting it cool down. I will post the results

The 2-3degs you mentioned,..... Is it actually 2-3 notches on the cam gear?.. If so, it will actually be 4-6degs as 1 notch is equal to 2 degs

  • 2 months later...
  • 2 weeks later...

mine is hitting 18psi at 3800rpm, cam gears adjusted, unknown cams

seems like mine is hitting 25psi around 3800-4000 RPM

with standard cam gears!

will put up a final power figure in this thread once all its issues are sorted!

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
