Gtr 26/30 With Cams And -5S

[R31Nismoid]

Sounds reasonable Mark

Id guess somewhere around 18psi, be good to get some graphs to see how they compare against my 2.6ltr

[N1GTR]

How does it drive? Happy with it? What would you change next (if anything)?

[Scooby]

They're still refining the tune so I won't know the exact details for a while. Once I get the dyno chart scanned I'll post it up. Steve-O I haven't driven it yet, it's an in-betweener with their other jobs as I'm in no hurry to get it back atm.

Cheers

still running the stock ic so talking to them about that too.

Whats wrong with the stock item exactly?

its not shiney enough.

Same as an oem exhaust really, volume and efficiency not designed for this power level and u would be nuts not upgrading to a thicker core

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Comparing a stock exhaust to a stock cooler in the same sentence shows how little of an idea you have.

It wasn't a comparison, it sounded more like another example of. He is saying the stock intercooler isn't designed with the volume flow and capacity of a built up and modded engine. The same can be said about the exhaust, the output of the engine is greater and the original exhaust is not designed with enough flow and volume to let the gasses escape. Again, the injectors could be another example, 370cc injectors will flow just that, but when you need more fuel they run out of capacity. An example is not a comparison. He could have said something out of context like, if you were running a marathon it would be ridiculous to take a smaller popper of juice rather than a larger bottle which could hold more for the race. Sure the popper is good for small sprints but over a long distance run, you need more juice.

GTR fuel pump is good for about 350 - 400rwkw I was told by my tuner. Ive got a 040 brand new incase my GTR pump fails. The 040 will support around the same power and be in a healthier state.

Sorry, but it does. Been proven countless times now on every circuit GTRs (360-380rwkw) down here running a factory core - it's not even worth going into really.

Oh btw and you can make 370cc injectors flow more than 370cc, its called upping the rail pressure. Very simple concept

Im going to be running the stock intercooler on my car, 26/30 . I cant see it worthwhile changing to a bigger one

Small exhaust and small IC does not lose efficiency and volume? I am confused...

Silly me, crd want to change mark's IC just for the hell of it lol - jim really has no idea haha, what a joke huh!

Why would you run a stock IC when making 350awkw+ which is a walk in the park with his setup? My 1st gtr had a 70mm making 365awkw and at the time I was advised to upgrade to keep temp down. I don't make things up nor am I computer warrior, I always talk of personal experience.

You need to remember, Jim (crd) is also a business man. the more he sells youand the more time he spends on your car, the more money he makes

Yeah so is Racepace and you end up paying big $$$ for standard parts...

I thought this was about cams anyway?

[N1GTR]

Wow, this thread delivers.

[r32-25t]

Yep sorry forgot to add them

[Scooby]

OK to set the record straight the potential issue is not flow but maintaining power levels after extended use.

As for suggestions of overservicing, which I detest, there's no evidence of that in this case that I can confirm. Jim is not pushing this. Re the fuel pump, for what CRD would make out of it I doubt their next million is going to come from making $100 here and there on fitting pumps. The figures may well indicate that there was an issue. But seriously they've done everything I've asked and no more.

Always thought conventional wisdom was that a 32 cooler was good for 350 rwkw, the 33 and 34 a bit more. But then Ash has seen a lot more tracked GTRs than me so the wisdom I'm referring to may well be a crock.

Marko I'll be in touch re the cooler pending the feedback I get this week.

Cheers

[R31Nismoid]

Got the results yet?

Wanna see those more than anything else dude

Keen to see how the look on a 3ltr.
