heres a dyno graph all readings are on the same dyno (different days though) and they are on the same graph to read easier.

they are all rb26 engines with rebuild bottom ends (except the highflowed turbos engine which is dead stock). they are all stock capacity and the t04z engine and gt42 engine have different cams to stock.

there is a...

GT42 with 1.0 housing

garret T04Z 0.84 housing

r34 ball bearing low mounts

r32 highflowed stock turbos

here ya go...

If all of the turbo's were tuned to max power then psi is irrelevant, one may make less power with more boost.

Diff ratio's here are irrelevant as its all done to RPM..

The poor bloke with the GT42.. Much too big for the 2.6ltr.

Excellent comparision.

Fair enough, I missed the point that they were all rebuilt and tuned to max power.

Only saying that - some engines/boost may not be tuned as high due to different compression ratios, based on HG thickness or engine comp ...

But this is probably the best comparo possible. But i would still like to know boost pressures run across the board, if at all possible

the gt42 was lowish boost, i think around 20psi from memory, the t04z is on 18psi, and the r34 bb turbos i dont know, and the highflows are 18psi.

the t04z graph is simon (r32 GTS) on this forum on low boost (made 620hp i think recently on 23psi)

or by this you can see that twin hks t04z with 0.63 a/r rear housings are almost as responsive as a gt42 with 1.06 a/r.

added a garret t04z with.8 a/r as well for comparison

gt42 is running only 20psi

t04z are about 24psi

twin t04z's are about 28psi

Funny how some shops will claim more power from one ECU to another.

All ECUs will make the same power if the timing,fuel,turbos,intake etc are the same.

Note that its also the only graph not in full shootout mode.

The history of the 581hp car makes it a poor example as its had a few GCG turbos and GT42 cartrage in GCG housings and many engine builds plus 3 different ECUs and a best of low 12s at the drags, tho the Wolf that it was lending has done the fastest GTR pass in WA to date at 10.7.

Still looks like the TO4Z is the best street strip turbo at the moment.

LOL fastest GTR pass in WA @ 11.7

are you on crack

ND4SPD 10.7

Simons GTR 10.8

Got Boost (gts4 with rb26) 10.9

not even close to the lofty 11.7 you speak of

f**k even bobbos dead stock GTR did 11.8 .. stock turbos internals cams, mines rom, boost zorst and it hoses many a aftermarket ecu equipped GTR time..

Yeah the 581 rwhp is such a crap example.. had massive money thrown at it, blown up on a dyno (oh the memories) , its not like the dog box, autronics etc etc meant that the owner built the car to the best of standards...

/rant over

Brad well done for the post

also i do believe 2 GTR's and one GTS-4 have done 10's in WA

Actually, the fastest pass by a gt-r in wa is Kier wilson, 9.something in his drag gt-r, and his street car backed it up with a low 10, and they both run motec..

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg
