[Mk2] [Turbo] T88 not running well.... help needed

[EarL]

Cheers EarL,

so if my comparison is right...

T88
At 4000, reading is 60
6000,---------- 191
8000,---------- 448
9500,---------- 570

GT3071
At 4000, reading is ~180
6000,---------- ~395
8000,---------- N/A
9500,---------- N/A

Yes mate.

Mine revs to 7200, so makes a fair bit more power after that, but you can definately see the advantages of a quick spooler like the GT3071 (says he thats taking one off to fit a GT3582r!).

Sorry to highjack James. Back to you dude.

EarL.

Yeah thats cool. I just wanted a like for like on the RPM points we'd got from James' T88.

Looking forward to seeing what else is stumbled upon with this one. Not been a bad voyage of discovery so far!

[skipp123]

sounds like a very impressive car, even if it doesnt make its power till high in the rev range

lag is forplay!!!!!

end of the day just make sure ur in the power band when booting it and ul be all good thing is because it revs so high uv still got 4k or so of usable power im loving this car mate glad its all worked out for you!

any chance of getting a ride if your attending any shows this year???

[V8Killer]

Be interesting to see the T88's torque graph. Is it flat or peaky?

Get the graph up

[jamesgtr]

No torque graph unfortunately but it's pretty low.

Don't know how to scan but will try and take a picture of the
graph this evening.

Earl, was your run in 3rd gear and what boost was it running?

For comparison's sake, mine was run in 4th gear at 1.2 bar.

[cantfindausername]

Thats one thing I don't get with these engines, they're complete lack of torque compared to other 2ltr 4 pots.

Still impressive figures none the less. Looking forward to seeing what it is capable of in the real world now

I just put it down to the Yamaha designed head; bikes seem to lack torque, they play with revs! lol, 'tis a strange one though! oh, *cough* "their" *cough* lol

[cantfindausername]

Its friday, and I didn't get a lot of sleep last night so excuse my grammer.

[Steve Horrocks]

[jamesgtr]

Don't know whether to keep this car or sell it.

[greeny]

James was this on pump or race fuel?

Are you going to push the boost up to see what it'l make?

Michael.

[jamesgtr]

Pump fuel unless Rob put something else in and did not tell me. lol.

Seriously, i only put in v-power from Shell. (optimax)

I wonder if i can drive the car without the boot lid
It'll solve the heat problem.

Rob did a run with 1.8 bar but ....

[greeny]

1.8bar but......

Did you see the thread on mr2oc.com with sergies t88 James?

[jamesgtr]

Vaguely. If i remember correctly, he was running over 2 bar and
from the video that he posted up, it doesn't idle that well. But
that's some machine.

[Century Motorsport]

He ran 2.5bar to get the 704whp

So what happened with the 1.8bar run

Nathan

I hope i haven't misheard Rob but I think he said that run went over the limits of the dynamometer.
I'm sure he's done more powerful skylines there.

Wats the limits! Get that bady down the strip

[ENSMR2]

Skylines you mention are 4WD so it measures both front and back power.

Rollers there can do approx 700-750hp each end so a possible total of 1500.

[as8133]

Just a quick question, where did you get this car from?? Was it a special import from japan?

[jamesgtr]

thanks for clearing that ENSMR2.

as1833, the car is a fresh import, not registered yet.

Interested?
