if you need a Plaz cooler you know who to ask :)

Ha ha yeah you helped out with the brakes!

Could you PM me a price? I cant get one straight away but would help with budgeting

put some ARP headstuds in, moarrrrrrrrr boost man

Law of diminishing returns Dose Pipe - we upped the boost to 22psi and only made 306rwkw.  I think that unless I spend a lot more time on the dyno finding out where the weak link is and re engineer my set up I will see little gain vs psi increase.  Somewhere in every tune there is a point where power and efficiency cross over, right now I am at that point for this set up.

Maybe restriction on cooling and or exhaust flow, I found the stock manifold starts to glow about 300kW+

Might was glowing like the sun lol... once I moved the gate onto the manifold, the glow decreased, reduction in restriction and heat then motor just breathed better netting a 40kW gain (although turbo was revised, same compressor but CBB centre and updated rear housing by HyperGear)

Sututututuuuuuu do you have a picture of how your manifold was done? Who also did it for you? I know cast is supposed to be a bit harder to weld. 

 

Got an extrude honed HKS cast low mount so I would be surprised if that was the problem.  Maybe an exhaust restriction eg my Cat, but I don't know and the nearest dyno is 200km away so I live with it.

This was a post i think from Scotty a long time ago... Ive always wondered why more havent tried it... But looking at my car today, it's cause its a tight squeeze...

Whats the sensor thats suppose to be there, cause its in the way...?

Interesting thread, mines been at 250odd for a few years and will be doing a few things over the next 12 months to give 300 a nudge

Everything on my car at the moment seems to be pretty happy at 250, HKS 2535 turbo, Blitz turnflow intercooler etc. I'm in no rush to change too much as it's a great daily package as it is

Just add e85 and more boost or water meth injection with more boost and you should go close.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
