some very differnt powers being made with similar turbos. my rb25 with a gt30 .82 and external gate made 420rwhp @ 27psi

ive added a pic of the dyno sheet, the red line is my first engine with aria pistons and higher compression, the blue line is the same head, less compression and wiseco pistons... I had hi flowed injectors, pump, micro tech etc etc...

some of you guys have made good power on such little boost... have any of you gone down the track??

with 300rwhp i ran 13flat @ 114mph

Track I am refering to is Sandown and Phillip Island were i found i had to modify my driving a fair bit so that when i powered out of the corners I could keep the engine in the power curve of the rev range. Sometimes it was a comprimise between using 2nd gear and wheel spinning out of the corner and loosing time or staying in 3rd and having the car bog down for a while till the needle went near 4000rpm.

That is one hell of an interesting dyno graph RNS11Z. It is not often you get the chance to compare the same engine with different compression ratios. Can you notice the 50rwhp less at ~4,600 rpm? Or does it go through the 4,000 rpm to 5,2500 rpm band so fast you don't feel it? I notice that the current set up has ~1.5 psi more boost at 5,150 rpm, is that deliberate? Or did you have to run less boost with the higher compression?

Lots of things to think about on that dyno graph, for a data not like me anyway.:D

I was having problems with the external gate which is why it wouldnt hit target boost straight away on the first engine. When building the 2nd engine we fixed the gate, as you can see it spiked 1-2psi then settled.

The 2nd engine was much more smoother too drive and felt better on the st. The first engine was real snappy.

Peak power on the first engine was 421.??

i think it would be a tad too big, but it all depends on whay you dont mind living with for the extra power. abo bob has got my power graph, when he posts it up for me you guys can have a look how a gt30 with .63 exhaust makes power on an rb25 with stock compression.

wonder how the GT30 with the .63 would go on a rb20 ;) seeing as the rb20 has stuff all puff

i just might have to try it :)

give me about 2 weeks and my rb20 will be in my s14......

its currently got a gt30r with a .63 ar bolted to a hks manifold with the gate set at 14psi/1bar.

i also threw in tomei procams (260/8.8mm lift intake/exhaust) to help it along and some greddy gears.

currently the fuel rail is loaded with some 550's and gonna burn a custom chip to change redline as well as control the larger squirters.

will be using a emanage to tune with a tech edge wideband.......

should go quitenicely......

oh and some one on here said they used a gt30 with a .86 ar on an rb20 and they got 14psi at around 4k.

I wouldnt question the exhaust.

I'd be looking at the ECU/tuner.

One assumes its aftermarket of course... and there is a very big hole in the power band that should not be there at all.

With the smaller housing it should ramp onto boost easiler also. Which i'd put down too the tuneings fault again

That car for the turbo has a smaller powerband than mine with the bigger housing which in thoery should be a bit laggier

Carl... i'll take you for a burn in mine next week if you want and show you how mine goes with a decent tune :)

Hmm, I found a few things that made mine come onto boost alot harder, and hold better to redline - one of them was exhaust being very restrictive. It wasnt a problem until I got the larger turbo on - just choked it as I turned up the boost. Easy way to tell, just drop the exhaust for a quick run around the block :) or on the dyno if your not feeling adventurous.

Second was a flange leak from the manifold to the ext wastegate - only a small one, not audible by ear, needed a stethescope type device - but made a big difference, boost earlier and far more responsive.

Last one was BOV leaking at higher rpm.

Some ideas anyway, hope they help

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
