knore, I have had lengthy discussions with Sydneykid about the GT-RS set up. He confirmed that they are a very good turbo set up for a 3Ltr RB26. Apparently most of the GTR's using this set up are running the OS 3Ltr block. But it will be interesting to see how these will perform on a 2.7.

  • 2 weeks later...

With your camshaft set up & 11.35 lift generally means your car will not be that streetable. I spoke to 4 Door Gtr on the phone about his set up and he said it was far too lumpy for the street

BULL

I have 11.35 lift jun cams with more duration than above in my 32, it pulls from 1100rpm in fourth as clean as a whistle , it idles like a watch !

I also had the jun retainers & springs but had to ditch them ! the first set of springs jun sent me had f all seat pressure, the second set bound up before full lift I did not try a third set ! maybe all that is missing from JUN is the K ?

so be warned - get an expert to install & check those springs !

as for the turbo- t51r kai

IF ANY ONE WANTS A SET OF JUN TITAINIUM RETAINERS CHEAP, DROP ME A PM

screw low mounts. laggy and sloww building. you want it to whack on boost hard and fast.

t04z garrett with .84 splitpulse rear(not hks ones)

1.5inch manifold runners (no bigger)

this would be fun and come on full boost by 4ish

if you are going to rev the date out of it then a t51r kai ball bearing would be the go. but lagmaster

I have a new N1 block being built up with a 2.8L crank and HKS internals running GT-RS terbs. On my old engine (std displacement) these terbs produced 1 bar of boost by 4400 rpm without any cam timing optimisation. I expect signficantly better response with the increased capacity as well as extended head room with the counter balanced crank and an HKS Crank Damper kit fitted.

Will of course post results.

I know this will get lost, but time to say it again;

1 bar of boost by 4,500 rpm

In what farkin gear?

With how much bloody load on the engine?

After how farkin long?

Shoot, I have a GT42 that makes 1 bar at 4,500 rpm, in 4th gear up a long, steep hill after the throttle has been floored for 5 minutes.

That sort of quote is MEANINGLESS, it tells me nothing about how the turbo responds. I have driven 3 X Skylines with GTRS's and race team we supply in the UK has tested them on 2 of their cars with 2.7litre engines. Their response is crap, with all sorts of camshafts, different timing and lift, bigger valves, ceramic coating and some serious tuning on the chassis and engine dynos. It wasn't until we stuck them on a 3.1 litre bottom end that they got any decent response out of them.

I will be interested on what Gav finds on a 2.8 litre engine, it might be JUST big enough to get away with it. Even then it will need a close ratio dog box with slick shifts to keep things happening over the 1/4.

:D cheers :D

Ooh - harsh comeback :D - guess I should have elaborated more.

OK - the boost vs rev quote was on the dyno in 4th gear (pic in gallery). SK's right in that it doesn'r really tell the whole story.

Yep - they are less responsive than 25/30s, but better than 25/40s in my opinion having driven r32s with all of these combos. The curve just doesn't seem to taper off at the high revs like either of these, however, so if the engine supports the revs they make for an impressive combo IMO

Anyway, not meant to be an GT-RS vs 25/30 debate, just that recently there is a huge appreciation on what cam timing can do to "wake up" GTRs. I'm sure the same applies to these terbs, particularly with extra displacement.

Anyway - all theory until it's finally done.

I personally wouldnt go with any of the turbos mentioned thus far...

I would personally go with an Apexi RX6B or something along those lines.

Im using one on my SR20 - which has had the front wheel and cover modified - and its making around 390rwhp on 17psi with the usual support mods and a set of BABY cams, on a very conservative tune...

I get full boost around 4800-5200rpm depending on gearing and load...

On a 2.7 i think it would easily make ~500rwhp on around 1.6-1.8bar and have excellent response...

While we are talking about twin well i still think the GT2560R takes alot of beating the last gtr i did made 510rwhp at 15.8psi (~524rwhp at 16.8psi) with rasor sharp responce.And interesting how opinions change in time (was told there was nothing significant in cam timing but i found it very different). Mine runns GT2560R aswell and makes 530rwhp at 20psi and both these cars had poncams and std fuel system (nothing special like high lift cams etc).

As for the boost at a set rpm, in my opinion it is important or a true indication of performance as it is only a measure of back pressure WHAT is important is the toque and hp you get through the rev range and how earily it comes in and how linera the power delivery is, as this is what makes a great streetable car and fun drive.

on a similiar note, would a smaller turbo choice like a gt35 still pull solid to 10000rpm redline? or will it flatten out at 8000rpm or something?

cheers

Brad

There's a lot of variables in that question, cams and cam timing will play a very big part power curve, plus exhaust system etc but it will largely depend on the efficiency of the engine (ie the power it makes at what rpm) this will govern when the turbo runs out of puff.

hmm, I see your building "The Stagea Of Death pt.1"

quite an impressive shopping list, the car doesn't have enough surface area to list it all :cheers:

When its done I wanna see it (and hear it) next to Ant's GTR - Jet Engine

hehe, yer its gonna abit of a shocker for other road users in its path :lol:

im just deciding on turbo choice at the moment and the engine is being machined and head also for the high lift cams, hoping to get engine block etc back in about 2 weeks, and then just gotta reassemble.

its either big single and options are:

hks t04z

garret t04z 0.86 or maybe 1.06

garret gt35/40r 0.86 or 1.06

garret gt40r 0.86

or maybe something will come up for sale of a diferent variety, i still havent totally ruled out twin low mounts.

options are:

hks 2530s

hks 2540s

garret 2560r

r34 n1 0.64 BB twins

hks gt-ss (bit small maybe?)

hks gtr-s (bit large maybe?)

i still have same power goal of 500rwhp on reasonable boost and on higher boost capable of close to if not 600rwhp or abit higher :D

so whats the pros and cons of each and considering the parts list im using how it suits my needs?

thanks

Brad

since you have all the parts plus an aftermarket manifold for a single turbo it would make sense to go that route, however, i didn't see a gearbox in your list of goodies...

if u can afford jun engine accessories, even if it was a special deal, u can afford to spend the money on an HKS turbo(s).

also assuming this car will be taken to the track; professional drivers run out of balls whilst driving the mines r34 (2530's) before the car runs out of power and although your not building a race car, anything that revs out to 10,000 rpm could hardly be called a street car.

best of luck with the build whatever route you take.

hey mate cheers for the comments, im staying around 600hp on dyno and 500hp at street and i know the box wont be too crash hot but we will have to wait and see :)

so would 2540s we worth going over 2530s because of the horsepower target im chasing and the fact it will be 2.7L (bugger all increase i know)?

decisions decisions :D

thanks

    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 馃槂
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
    • Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
