Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

wow! looks like a gain of 50kw @ 4krpm!

must be happy & must be hanging to drive it

so with the gtrs's u were making 200kw @ 4krpm & now you are making ~340kw with -5s & latest setup

what is the difference in the run with the blue line v's the brown line (in the 1st graph) or is it just 2 runs where you were trying to diagnose the miss?

Yeah man.... We pumped more boost into it to see if it did it... which it did.

It'll be nice to have 350 at 4000 RPM. I'm sure with a bit of fiddling we will get there

i wonder how your numbers would compare to a larger capacity v8 (i.e. 6.2ltr, ls3) which makes the same peak power...would be interesting to see if your 2.8ltr makes more power & torque @ 4krpm

[ezy_09s]

Good to hear this will be sorted soon with proper spring pressures ...450 kw no problems

Ordered cams yet?

You may want to get the more aggresive ones . Your turbos are slightly bigger also.... Bump up that comp ratio!!!!

I wonder that also. Considering a current "HSV" commo makes what, 325 KW at the flywheel at its peak? (Correct me if i'm wrong). I'm sure in the lower part of the rev range (1000 - 3000 RPM) the V8 would feel more grunty.... after that.... who knows.

Lets see if you can match my old typhoon of 1,000nm at the treads and i wouldn't worry about the hsv v8 I'd be trying to match/beat the new ford one! I havent driven one but all I keep getting told is that they are insane

Lol. But I'm only 2.8 without a 3 metre stroke length!!!

[r32-25t]

That what she said lol

[Piggaz]

Got a graph Dave? Sounds like it comes on like a tornado!

[NYTSKY]

Nah no graph mate. Does come on pretty early for the power output. It is a machine on the street!

Not early enough for some though

Edit: That was at 30psi.

[Piggaz]

Haha. .

Has Adam gone any higher with the boost? It would have more left in it for sure. Damn PT's!!!!

[Marko R1]

that is a monster! looks great as well

i hear a lot of good things about JEM tuning & that r33 looks like a good example

[NYTSKY]

They left it at 30psi, a good even number

Video doesn't do it justice. It is the cleanest 33 GTR I have ever seen. Everything about the car is immaculate, you could eat your dinner off the engine lol

[Piggaz]

It has a S1/2 front lower lip. Death to these folk who pull that sexy S3 off and put a 1/2 on. ARGH!
