We went till 12:45am Dave. But then we had to send him to fix it up. His screamer was basically aimed at me so was too loud and couldnt hear what i needed to hear.

Finish it off this week hopefully.

Might have to change my name to midnight tuning

get some decent knock ears, or are you running some already?

impossible to tune without them, you cant hear det audibly till way to late and headgaskets are gonna blow left right and centre.

So 25 seems to be happening head bolts are striped where already a bit damaged and they are way over torque spec. Unless anyone knows how to remove a striped headbolt. The bolts under the cam coveres where 10mm Allen key then the 3 in the centre section are just under 12mm Allen key head so I'm thinking it's been tampered with once apon a time in jap land or is this normal on a 20 as iv never done one before?

Just ear muffs with hose we used work great can hear everything. I'm looking at going that way money is what's holding me back. Just got the head off. Bottom end is stock but head is warped needs a quick skim. Might be worth just getting a 25 as a decent gasket is 450 then need to have the head machined then new head bolts. So that's near 1000 I'm guessing. I can buy a 25 for that and use all my 20 stuff seems to be the smarter option. Not to keen on buying a new 20 tho it would be cheaper

I have kmon ears. But i prefer to have my head over the engine. I know its risky but i havent mastered the kmon to my liking yet.

I have never missed a ping yet. Just that some people want to push limits (BSA).

How in the hell did you warp a head though? The motor must have been cooked at one point or another. I had a session where a lower hose came off my radiator and the coolant temp sensor was reading air temp whilst the car was at speed around Calder. As soon as I backed off and started my cool down lap the coolant temps shot up over 110deg C at which point I had no option but to shut it down hot. Got to the pits , fixed the hose and started filling it with hot tap water and started engine to circulate. 20,000kms the engine is still ok....so it must take a bit to warp a head!

Provided the base engine doesnt have issues you can push a 20 pretty hard on the dyno. We pull safe 275rwkws, cant get it to keep pulling higher numbers with more ignition when all the temps get up high like they would on the track

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
