Peak Power at 5,500rpm! Noses over rather badly after 7,000rpm. He has HKS cams and what looks to be a 10cm exhaust. I wonder if its the std inlet that makes it fall over or simply the little 25G wheel running out of puff.

Would be a bit of an animal to drive with that graph. Makes me think Kando needs a T78 for all the RBDirty folk :)

I stick to my statement. Your always hanging around waiting and encouraging somebody else to try before YOU buy, I straight out don't appreciate that. There's a difference in attitude between quietly keeping an eye on someones build and purposefully encouraging them to hurry so you can see how it turns out for you own benefit. You have some audacity to talk about other members of this forum.

You can call me childish or whatever else you want, fact is I am an asshole and always tell it how it is. I'm not afraid to hear one more goof call me an asshole or a child or whatever else you would like to say, go nuts.

Fact is you and I watch the same threads, Ive probably inadvertently read 90% of your total posts, and I can safely say you have a crappy attitude towards this forum and the help you get from its members. End of story.

Do you really think I care what YOU think or appreciate??? RE: 'and purposefully encouraging them to hurry so you can see how it turns out for you own benefit.'..where are you getting THIS from?? Where did I say, 'hurry up, I wana see..' yada yada.. Even if I did, what is wrong with that/ Who are YOU to tell me what I should do?? Especially coming across as some stupid 'hero kid' with ginger just-grown pubes who thinks he can tell people what to do, you have been in here far far longer than myself, know more Skyline stuff than me, YET have very low levels of maturity and attitude. Grow the fk up you moron! I will ignore your posts now.

And of course I appreciate all the help I get on this forum, have said and thanked members countless times and helped others myself.

Either that or could it be that with those bigger cams the exhaust side is choking?

I think the 25G wheel is just maxed out. If he had a bung in the housing seeing what the back pressure was you would get a feel for how the L2 turbine and 10cm housing are doing keeping up with the cfm from the 3L.

Wow, depressing to see how easy that thing makes power :(

Dam this is better then the plenum thread I opened haha can you guys make shorter posts makes the laughs come faster that's all. Hey dori throw the pop corn would you

Interesting though that the low boost run that makes 300rwkw also has the same drop off, does that mean that its not the turbo running out of puff but something else?

The compressor follows its "pump curve" based on the pressure ratio. So whilst you are limiting your shaft speed the the compressors ability to keep up with the breathing of the engine is going to be roughly matched at low boost as it will be at high boost. That's from 10 sec think about pump theory. Others should jump in if that's wrong

Re bigger RBs...yeh yeh. I enjoy playing with the little 20. The way I see it the lil 20 is like a fine tuning fork. If it works in the 20 it will work on the other RBs, however you may not notice the difference on the bigger RBs as they have airflow to burn and not as sensitive to changes :)

I doubt the 25g is out of flow, I did go an extra 30kw more than that. I would be pointing toward the cam timing being a bit shonky like most RB30's... There is no way that should dive like that after 5000rpm and when I have seen them do it in the past it's because the cam timing isn't set correctly

EDIT: I didn't realise it was a shitty R32 RB25 head, so that is probably more the reason :whistling:

holy crap cake, that 30 would be devestatingly quick for a traffic light warrior with soo much torque at those sort of rev's. I'm deffinitly sold that if I'm replacing my turbo it has to be a TD06H-25G or bigger. KD do make TD07 and TD08 turbo's so no reason they can't make a T78. probly just have to ask to have them to list 1 on ebay or the shop front. they Listed other things after I asked them questions on selling parts.

But like you said it sucks at making power easily.... why do you persist??

    • 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.
