Not sure why mines 700rpm later with the same cams 

Guess more tuning will help a little.

You can always pull out timing so the EGTs are hot "turn" the turbo on, but torque with low timing at that load point vs. the torque with less boost at that load point with more timing could be drastically different.

Bugger boost levels. Whatever gives the most Nm. 300 Nm and 2 psi is better than 150 Nm and 17 psi. But Boost is higher so must be better yeah? ?

hahahah depends on the user, some want instant boost for the head snaps, some what linear and flat torque to minimize wheel spin and get good lap times :)

Customer is always right!

For anyone who is interested

8374 with 1.05 rear on standard 2.6 engine on e85

Tyres with 275 Mickey Thompsons.

10.7 @ 133mph in Sydney summer. Was running 28psi on the night.

Will go again in winter and see how much of a difference the MPH makes.

Soft timing doesn't make the boost come on instantly or even necessarily much or any faster time vs psi, but yeah it does make for a more violent torque transition on spool which some people like.  Have to admit I've done similar things with valve timing etc where people wanted a slower car that they liked the feel of more.  Nothing wrong with that, either.

What tyres were you running cause that’s a pretty good 60ft 

I'm just fitting a 26/30 in a cefiro. It's an r34 head that's been reco'd,  stock low km rb30 bottom end with head studs and new oil pump. 

I have a 9174 ewg 1.05 and twin 40 mm gates I was going to put on my gtr. 

Should I fit this to the cefiro now and buy another one for gtr later?

Is it overkill for a stock bottom end  as I was thinking 20 psi Max on this combo on p98 as I have the fuel system now to support 550 whp? 

Not sure how far to push the 2630.

How modified is your head?

How big is your exhaust? 

Where are the cams set? (Mine are 0/0) 

Finalise the tune and see what happens.

Whats holding the final tune up? It’s been ages!

 

 

1mm OS valves, 3.5" all the way, 0/0 also. 

In terms of getting the tune done, the usual. Work, Life, the oil squirter coming out the sump. those kind of things. Hopefully get closer to it by march.

Thats a huge MPH - i always thought low to mid 120s would be a high 10

modern DSG, AWD, Launch Enabled cars yes - older things like our dinosaurs would need 130~140MPH to get it to boogie

this is a long shot but i may as well ask the question and get thoughts of the guys on here.

Currently have a 8374 w 1.05 rear on a custom CRG manifold. The manifold was designed specifically with my turbo specs in mind.

I'm contemplating upgrading to a 9180 w 1.45 rear (with eventual goal and having a stroked motor), however at this stage the upgrade only seems viable if the turbo is a straight swap.

The concern is the 9180 with the bigger rear housing may not fit on to the current manifold.

I wanted to check if anyone on here has had experience with both 1.05 and 1.45 rear housings and is able to comment if the bigger rear would work with current manifold. Don't really want to dick around with new manifolds etc etc so won't proceed if it is not a straight swap.

Appreciate it is not a straightforward answer, however thought I'd check anyway.

Cheers

I believe the dump pipe has to move back 7-8 mm. Going to dummy fit mine soon. Seems like if you want to use all of the available compressor in both the 8374 and 9180 (moreso) the 1.45 is needed.

what about your manifold though? will it fit such a larger rear?

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
