Area under the curve is more important than top end power IMO, your car will be mental. That's why i designed my car the way i did. 

Even at my relative power level i find for street work, it's getting to the point the extra power is useless. 

I'm loving my current tune on 98, i can't wait to see it on E85 again.

I believe Scott is spending all day on it today. No idea where it's all upto apart from the information I've posted.

Cant see it making anymore than 480 awkw. That's as much as Scott has seen out of a 8374.

how hard are you planning on pushing it - boost wise?

Whatever 125,000 Rpm is. It will be higher early on then taper off as the engine consumes more air. 

So. Bring on 125 k ASAP and leave it there. Boost, who cares but at guesstimate, 30 ish psi as it comes on (late 3000's/4000 ish) and mid 20's at 8000 rpm. With any luck, hopefully less "boost".

interesting. looking forward to it.

Just for fun rather than anything else - i compared my power in the midrange compared to yours - i'm at ~100kw at 3700 - you've got ~270kw - same turbo lol

I need me a stroker kit

just get V-Cam OR Nitrous. OR both?

Has the fluff fallen out of Ernie yet? Otherwise not a real EFR :4_joy:

Lol. When are you going to man up and buy one. Piss off that nug PTE ?

Update time!!!!

Fuel is E56 only

Still not bringing it on as hard as possible, just letting it come up as normal (not tuning via turbine speed YET). 

Turbo is a EFR 8374/1.05 AR turbine housing.

300 KW at 4000 ish, 461.5 KW at 6000 RPM then it falls over. I didn't see this coming but the issue is the turbine housing is too small! The next size up is a 1.45 AR which is the same housings they used on the indy cars. They were saying that the head is  just breathing like a weapon. Funnily enough, both Petes and Intune's car were able to stretch to 8000 RPM even though their engines are larger!

For the time being I will take it back and enjoy it for a while. If I put the 1.45 on, Scott thinks it will see 500 KW and make even more through the middle by 20-30 KW. However, i'll lose a tad at 3000 ish RPM.

I suppose I better get used to short shifting. Lucky I have 6 gears. 

For those of you who are hooked up on boost numbers, 25 psi at 3850 ish RPM but that will improve again. Pretty sporty for a lazy, laggy single turbo :1_grinning:

The tad you loose at 3000, can I have it please :wub:

Go put a 6258 on your car.

I built mine so I could have a strong top end . I want to keep it and as tried to get it as good as I could down low . 

I don't want to loose anything from the top end, I still can rev it to 8000 if I want .  Just like it a bit different than most I guess :/ 

That head you had done is something else , cannot wait to see it all working together, what a machine :wub:

I just found a pic of you image.jpeg.b25b27a9dbf556a841d944083f03f787.jpeg

 

Congrats Paul, now enjoy it for awhile and mull on can of worms thats just been opened but was hiding there in front of you.

What brake set up are you running ? Reason I ask you may find that other things may need upgrade first, like stopping ,fine tune the nadling (think you sorted that but f**k me too much alcohol brain damage cant remember shit) then sort last power upgrade, all just subtle stuff. Then you'll have the ultimate skyline weapon.

Brakes are sorted, mate. 365 mm 6 pot fronts/350 mm 4 pot rear alcons. Need to change the front pads, the ones in there are woody nuggets!

Suspension and arms are all sorted, although it needs a wheel alignment. The whole rear end has been out to replace the sub frame bushes.

Cant believe I'm out of rear housing. Quite strange that the 3.2 and 3.0 can go to 8000 rpm but the little 2.8 cant. I suppose those polished ports ain't so bad after all ;).

I have in my head the 1.45 isn't a straight bolt on. The housing absolutely MASSIVE!!!! Adrian (bloke from Insight) said if they made a 1.6 you'd put it on haha.

Data is showing 46 Psi in the exhaust manifold. 

Im heading out tomorrow to sit down with Scott. Grab as much data as I can.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
