Thanks to tom from pzp for turbo install and tune! Quiet happy as getting full boost at 4200rpm and a smooth power figure. Mods are- -boost set at just over 17psi -nismo 555's -gt28rs turbo kit -front mount -ams manifold and dumps -ams oil cooler -z1 58mm throttleboddies -selin twin intake -twin 3inch exhaust -hks ignition amp -ross racing harmonic balancer -new coilpacks -s2 ptu -new engine harness -asi radiator -lighter flywheel -aircon removed
Dude, 17PSI @ 4200 RPM is awesome! Now who said the gt28rs with the .64 ar was laggy? That certainly puts the 'high flows' to shame.... Definately the way to go IMHO, stuff the 2560's... BIG THUMBS UP!
Good work mate thats beasty enough for most people, roughly what did those mods set you back $ wise ?
How so Reek?? I'm one of those "high flow" blokes... and mine actually makes 20psi at 4200rpm with 320rwkw (that is also currently restricted by a 4psi pressure drop due to my small SMIC's) ...so I wouldn't go knocking them just yet mate, especially when you consider the price that i paid for the high flowed turbos. (cheap) ....back on topic though, Jesse, that is a great result at only 17psi aswell!! So there's heaps more left in it if you wished. Nice power curve too! :zlove:[TIS]
why? 'almost' as responsive', lower intake charge temp, much more flow, more RWKW/PSI, much more top end... at 20 psi this baby will be pushing tree fiddy! I understand you did yours on a budget, amazing figures by the way... but doing it properly is the only way to go IMHO. (I won't be doing this as I have a f@@kin' mortgage to worry about now!).. Benny show us your dyno - hp/kw with rpm and boost on there... Compared to the other hi-flow graphs I've seen, this car and drift specs make boost quicker...
Of course if you are happy to pay for the physically big RS turbos they are better and more top end. There's no way i'd ever dispute that, i hope you didn't think that was were i was going. I was just clarifying after your first post of the lag, and comparing that to the "high flowed" versions, and letting you know that the smaller housings still do in fact help reduce lag somewhat. Have a look over my previous threads that i've started, you'll find my build thread with my dyno chart in there. it shows KPH instead of RPM unfortunately, but full boost hits at 4200rpm.
Yeh in my thread i was asking for the high-flowers to post up their graphs... comparing drift specs and this car i'm led to the conclusion that the larger hair driers are much better, but unfortunately will set you back a massive wedge of dough.... The graphs posted in my thread are just as laggy as these, if not laggier... so my argument is, if you've got the dough you might as well get the gt28RS's as they are just as responsive as high flows.
Nice result mate... Also well done to Tom once again.... Glad my Z in his hands, motor currently .... :thumbup:
Congratulations Jesse you must be stoked. As a matter of interest what intercoolers and what are you using for boost control ? Thanks.
Cheers everyone! feels really nice to drive, What helped with the lag was my blitz ebc putting up the gain made it hit full boost 300rpm quicker than running off the wastegates. Streetable power, just gripping on the road when boost comes on in second thanks to the hankook z212's. lol I hope to do a rebuild towards the end of the year too, and run 28psi Rob I removed my aircon because It hadnt been working for a few years and I didnt think it would be worth the money to get it working again, takes about 20kg off the front end. Not cheap lol! Prob over 8g on engine excluding exhaust. Just got an ebay frontmount aye, not sure of brand. And a blitz spec r ebc Heres some pics of my 300
Damn that is awesome Congratulations! Must be really happy with that for sure! I also love how clean your Z is, beautiful :zlove: What year model is it btw?? -YakuzaMoon
