in my experience the 2530's come on about the same as stock turbo's(3500rpm), were as cars wich have GT-RS's kick hard at 5000rpm.

What do you mean by "come on"? A stock GTR seems to make 1kg/cm boost by about 3300RPM under load. There is no way 2530s will do that.

All the ones I've seen (I'm not saying it can't get better) make 1 bar at just under 4500RPM.

Here is the dyno graph for Antz car. I took a pic of them yesterday. The dyno reads 10% and reads 360rwhp = 396rwhp taking into consideration10% loss. This works out to just under 300rwkW and Im sure if we were to run the car on a calibrated dyno that it would read 300rwkW.

that is a great result mate. 2530s on a GTR is a nice combo.

I'm not to sure on this "their dyno is low so I ad 10, divide by two, plus my age, times 11 equals the true figure" business though. to me that graph says 360hp. if their dyno is not correctly calibrated then they should get it fixed and you should probably take the car somewhere that has acurate, operating equipment. otherwise you are just speculating so what's the point of having it dyno'd for a power figure in the first place?

to me that graph says 360hp.

LOL, come in your car and race and see if its not 400rwhp. This dyno reads 10% low and has been verified over and over and if anything the dyno reads slightly lower than 10%. We don't really give two shits what it reads in the end because we're not there for the dyno, we're there for Matt Spry which is an expert tuner. If we want to see the power, we'll take it to another dyno that is accurate or hell one that reads higher than normal...then you'll believe the car makes 500rwhp with n1 and standard fuel pump just cause the dyno said so.

otherwise you are just speculating so what's the point of having it dyno'd for a power figure in the first place?

Speculating? Read above, we're not speculating but at the worst, misestimating by 2-3 % either way. Point of having it dyno'd for a power figure? LOL...it wasnt to get a power figure....it was to tune the car with the recent addition of N1 turbos. And anyway, it is a trialled and proven combination: N1 turbos make 300rwkW and thats not 360rwhp.

In my experience, no, they don't.  A few facts, we get 1 bar out of the 2530's at under 4,000 rpm on the RB26.  The GTRS moving parts (compressor, shaft and turbine) weigh 25% more than the 2530 moving parts.  So there is simply no way that they can be as responsive, given all else being equal.

This experience is not unique, the 2 fastest GTR's at Tsukuba again this year where both running 2530's.  If the GTRS's where as responsive and made more power, I am sure the unlimited budgets would have funded them.

:)

Before my engined failed, I was getting the same boost almost 1,000 revs higher with GT-RS terbs, so even with "tweaking" the cam timing, it just won't be possible to get the same response out of the larger terbs as SK says.

I'm believe with the head work, cams and internals that I've had done to support high RPMs that I will be able to reap the benefits that these terbs should offer over the 2530s. Will need to wait until I get the motor rebuilt ( again ;) ) to quantify the benefits (if any).

Ant - nice work mate, great that the stock AFM's and pump managed that much!

that is the way a graph should look :wassup:

Sorry mate did not get a print out of the boost curve, all I could tell you is that we managed to get that power @ 17.75pds which sounds about right to me.

Ant...do you have a graph with a boost curve?

Sorry mate did not get print out of the boost curve, all I could tell you is that we made that power at 17.75pds. It was enough to blow the intercooler piping off as well.

that is a great result mate. 2530s on a GTR is a nice combo.

No need to fuss about this, as I will do a power run on Chiptorques dyno which will give another result all together. I know that all dyno's read differently to one another but as far as I'm aware I am adamant that the power figure is closer to 300rwkw than anything else.

The power curve seems a bit "peakier" with full power a bit later in the rev range than I would have expected with 2530s.

The link below is what I achieved with what should be laggier GT-RS terbs. Note that there had been minimal setup of cam timing and boost was a moderate 17 psi or so.

Nice going Gav, 473hp is very nice indeed. GT-RS turbs are laggier though.

Things to note, is that my turbos are not 2530s and in fact they are not even ball-bearing, hence the spool up delivery is certainly not as instant as bb turbochargers.

Even my bros. gets ahead of me in the lower rev range and he has an FJ20 (na block) with a GT30R!

Ahh.... sorry Antz, that's what happens when I don't read the thread correctly!

Hope to have some reliable mid 550rwhp after the next rebuild and with a bit of work should be able to bring on the boost a bit sooner and eliminate the terb shuffle (although it does get other driver's attention when it sounds like a train is approaching them!)

    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
    • My thing I'd be doing, is pulling it out, and just getting the tune cleaned up for now. Before that even happens, checking over everything, like vac hoses, fuel hoses, etc. No point dropping thousands on sensors if the moment you start it back up all the oil leaks out, or it has massive vacuum leaks etc.   But really, to know what to do, depends on what your use case is. Hard core track car? Throw most sensors available at it. Street car, I'd probably just run oil pressure, oil temps, water pressure, water temp, probably fuel pressure too. I don't know exactly what the Link can handle and do with those though. And if it's mainly just to cruise the streets, rather than mountain runs, you can probably skip most of the above if you've already got them in as gauges and warning lights.   PS, inb4 "sell it and buy a modern sportscar"
    • Keen to see the turbosmart data, to date I've only seen negative things in terms of response for them. Very small sample size though.     Hawkins is a big advocate in his videos of the larger rear housings. I managed to make similar power with a lower spec motor on the smaller .8 rear, keeping decentish spool.  The people he works with now are big power cars compared to mine though, mine really is setup to drive around and enjoy.  I don't have any back pressure monitoring though, so couldn't say if its good or bad on my car, just that it does what I want it to do.   Future I want a higher compression more cubes motor to give a bit more bottom end and hopefully the new g35-1150 gets me to the 850 rear comfortably.  But maybe I won't due to exhaust back pressure.
    • No, I refuse to buy their cheap ass crap! I do need to order a bunch of different nuts/bolts to refill my nut/bolt wall though. Maybe you could go for a walk through Bunnings for me? (Or send me some stuff from your work? )   I really struggle to work out how the US standardised to Metric in what the 70s or 80s, and yet, half a century later, there's been little done to actually bring it into fruition. It truly baffles me    On the whole Fastenal thing, I went reading their site (My god they sell a lot of varied stuff!), and it seems like it really depends what store you're near if you can walk in and just grab a few small things, or if that branch is primarily distribution with only a small window of "counter time" available (if at all). That definitely makes it harder, as move locations and it drastically changes your ability for success   For things like your M6x1.0, if you want to work on your own Skyline, and you also have a "home workshop" I'd recommend setting yourself up a small Nut/Bolt wall/section. It doesn't even need to be big at all. Most things depending on the diameter, will be a specific pitch, like the M6x1, M5x0.7 etc. Bigger bolts is mostly 1.5, except for a small number of things and that will come down to torque. From memory bolts for the brake calipers (and other things that need a lot of torque) will end up being a 1.25mm pitch. Save up a few dollars, and order a range of nuts/bolts. If you want to minimise cost a little, buy something like M6 x 40, and M6x70mm (1mm pitch) in both. In addition, buy yourself an M6x1mm thread chaser. That way you have long bolts that you can cut down to size, and then chase the threads out. Funnily enough, I find what I'd pay here for ordering 5 bolts, I can pay about 50% more and you'll get 100 of them.   If that doesn't quite work out due to space / ability to buy plenty up front, then each time you need some bolts, order 100 of what ever you're getting. Put them in clearly marked containers. Over a few years, you'll acquire plenty of different sizes, and will end up ordering less and less. And the cost for 100 bolts won't be much more than you paid for your 5 you needed to order anyway  Just takes a little planning ahead, by investigating what nuts/bolts you'll need, and ordering them before doing the job.     Edit: If it's also primarily for working on just the Skyline, for some reason my brain is screaming that at some point, either Nissan, Nismo, (Or possibly a third party) was selling a "kit" of every nut and bolt in a Skyline, purely for people restoring/rebuilding. It'd likely be quite expensive, but would give you every/any nut/bolt you need for stock/factory things. I'm not sure if it's still available, or even if it actually fully came to market, it's just something niggling in the back of my brain that you could look into further if that sort of thing interested you? (It might have been for the R32 GTR or something specifically too, and not just any Skyline)
