Nice, 

 

hows the lag and transient response feel with the new EFR turbo?

 

Any plans for E85?

Hey blah_blah

 

It feels very nice from about 3K onwards. It doesn't feel overly laggy or anything like that. Definetly no plans for e85 as I drive the car everyday and just want to keep it that way most probably ?

yeah the lumpy cam idle. my 254's don't have any lumpy idle.

Hey Looney_Head, after driving it for a while now I can honestly say I dont think it has that lumpy idle either. I'm not that good at describing things really lol. I only just finally put some descent tyres on the car today and got another wheel alignment done. Car already feels a lot better to drive now, compared to the cheap Chinese Sunny branded ones that were on there. Will take the car for a descent drive in the weekend hopefully give it a bit more shit lol.

Managed to get out and clean the car today. Just a small update, have slowly been getting used to it. Still havent tried high boost but car was serviced and is now running descent rubber all around. Got recommended from a mate to try Potenza RE003's. And can say that the difference is night and day and they are a great tyre for sure. Car feels so good to drive and even manage to have traction in Second Gear. Over all am loving it ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Cant wait to try the high boost at some point.

Nice!  I am trying for the life of me to remember where I've seen this car, but I am certain I've seen it around.  Next time I see it I'll link it to this thread haha

cars looking good, yeah the RE003's are a great street tyre. will have to try and do a cruise over summer

Yeah I'm definetly looking forward to some better weather over this summer and go for a nice cruise or something.

I thought you ment in real life for a moment there lol, interesting I havent really posted about my car anywhere else apart from here and the a couple of places on Facebook. But yeah if you do link it!

I do mean real life :)  I live in Wellington, what I meant is if I see it again I'll know that the car is actually a bit of a weapon... I am pretty sure I've seen it and wondered in the past

Lol ohhhh nice, yeah I Drive it most days, as I'm not a fan of fixing up a car and just leaving it to there. Definetly built it with "Daily Driven" in mind. I used to be out quiet a lot back in the old days when people use to go meet up on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays etc. Not so much these days as cant be bothered with the problems that come with that certain crowd of people lol

99% sure you just drove past us parked outside Armstrong in town, we are in  @Looney_Head RB30 GTSt

Ahhhhhhh thats entirely possible, I was out and about. I went and caught up with a friend who I had not seen in a while. What colour? I missed ya's and only saw this now.

Black 4 door, we gave you a wave when you were in a line of traffic waiting to head around the bays from Kilbirnie area - unless it wasn't you but either way the driver looked perplexed haha

Was definetly fun going for a lurk, went for a drive earlier on too after dinner and had some fun on the motorway with a Maserati Gran Turismo ?

Haha that's not fair on them. I couldn't find anything fun to play with on the motorway. And wasn't keen to go down Courtney place with the clutch

Its been a while I guess since I last updated, Ended up having to get new seats so got some R33 GTR Front Seats, and got the catch can redone so it now has a drain etc.

nice, still need to catch up and have a look at this in real life.

Im definitely keen, might have to organise a meet up some time or something :-)

Most Thursday nights I have a low key group of car mates who meet up and yarn in Lower Hutt, there are 2/3 Skylines as regulars but its really just across the board (@Looney_Head included) - welcome to pop down sometime if you want.  PM me if you are interested and I can let you know details, watching the weather for tomorrow night as it looks borderline atm haha

    • 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.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
