Yeah very true Andrew, it's not going to make much of a difference.

I just rang Simon (the guy I mentioned above) and he said that it's possible to make at least a 10hp gain just by using light weight pistons and rods. 10hp isn't much, but it all adds up.

meshmesh- yeah we'll have to twist Nigel's arm to get this going I think!!! It would be more accurate if they are done on the same dyno and same day....

Merli- be more than hapy to see your beast on the dyno!!!!

sub- fantastic!!! what sort of time frame you looking at having your car ready????

Anybody out there with the Apexi AX's on a GTR (in Melb)???

Yeah, it'd be a lot better.

Same dyno, same day, same air temps etc etc.

The list goes on.

hey jack,

i had the t517z-10 on my bluer34 and it made 345kw on bens dyno, i think at 1.3.

i had t517z-8 on my silver r34. in my opinion the 8s are much nicer, im surprised u went with the 10s, u seem to be concerned about lag,then why the 10s, if u had a built engine and were aiming for bigger numbers than 350 i would understand.

i think if u drove a 8cm car , u may spew u went with the 10s.

ben may still have the dyno sheet for the apexi ax turbs, he tuned one for me about 2 years ago.

Did yo have any trouble with the turbos/oil temps ?

What sort of power difference with the T517Z 8's vs 10's ?

Jeremy

Hey Dean,

I didn't know about the two sizes until after I bought them!!!! Oh well, you live and learn I guess.... Was there a considerable difference between the 8cm and 10 cm???? As far as response and power???

Just looking at JMS's old R33 GTR drag car, and they're claiming the car made 381 rwkws on 1.3 bar, using T517Z 8cm low mount turbos.... Heres the link to the page which also provides a dyno graph....

How do they get so much power out of these turbos on 1.3 bar and stock motor???

Does this seem right???

every car jms has had they have bullshitted their power. I remeber they were saying their rb25 was making over 400rwkw with stock internals and living

I have seen 3 of their cars die, smokey deaths at that. :wavey: But hey when you have a warehouse full of spares, does it really matter? At their cost, it probably works out cheaper to keep replacing standard engines than building a decent one. :wassup:

i dont think there was a huge difference with power with 8s and 10s, but the 10s were a bit laggy, a bit 2540 ish. i didnt like them

Thats one hell of a dyno graph - very nice, I am asking the same question too, how does that engine hold together in stock form ?!

So in other words if I put some '****tail' fuel and advance the timing, should I expect a considerable difference in power (in excess of 350rwkws) without raising boost???

More boost = More power

More timing = More power

Too much of either = Detonation = Risk of engine failure.

You can phuck an engine with shitloads of timing at low boost, or shitloads of boost with low timing.

Decent fuel > Pump fuel

Timing and boost with decent fuel > Timing and boost with pump fuel

Power output with decent fuel > Power output with pump fuel

Cost of decent fuel is minimum $5 per litre = $100 per 20 litre drum

This will give you 40 litres of fuel in your tank = 2/3 full, if mixed to 1:1 ratio.

Total cost of fuel in tank = $120

Running 1.3 bar with decent fuel @ cost above = Pointless and IMO stupid.

To summarize,

Guys @ JMS or any other workshop around the country (yes, including the guys from Perth) do not have a secret, or a trick unknown to others, to make a lot more power than Ben @ RacePace or Nige @ ICE. If you want more power, go and see the boys and they will give it to you.:)

The JMS car has done 11.2, i did 11.4

JMS car had 385 rwkw, i had 330 rwkw.

The mph on JMS car is not known, i did 124 mph.

There is not much point in delving into matters any more than that.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
