I am chasing low end torque in my R34GTR, so I am changing the T78(Dyno chart) for a PT6262 and adding poncams Bs on a strong motor.

I am booked in for the work next week and have asked for the car to be tuned for more low end torque. As you can see from the Dyno reading (as I was told) is bad and would be a bitch to drive, it is.

They said with the new turbo and cams they can tune it to the response I asked for and will be happy with the results.

Has anyone got a Dyno readout to show me what more Torque looks like on 338KW so I can compare it.

Hi Peter,

I can't comment on the PT6262 as I have no experience with them however would suggest you match the turbocharger to your requirements (power v response). The T78 is far too big a turbocharger for the power you're making and there are far more responsive options that will yield better results.

If you would like options feel free to give me a call.

Had a look at posts and it does help me understand it, my curve is very low and slow to rise , just like it is to drive, lots of gear changing and a pig to do step hill starts and goes hard after 5k. If I did not live in the bush I would hardly ever use the turbo.

Thanks everyone for that info and it helps me and it lets me see how laggy mine is.

When they are doing the work I will have them email me a reading, at least now I have some idea if it is going to be OK and I will post it before I go to Sydney to pick it up, hopefully you and others can comment if you think they have done a good job ?

My dyno torque reading just looks so dead compared to most of the others here with similar KW.

They said the motor mods etc will handle more power, maybe need more fuel but I have enough HP, I just want a fun street car not a laggy heap

Thanks Andrew but the car goes in on Monday for the mods

The car has had a lot done on the motor and was a work in progress, T78 was part of the build but the bloke ran out of money and sold it before he completed the build.

    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers 
    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
