^ he who has 285rwkw on pulp and soon to be ~320rwkw on E85 how much does it cost to rebuild? food for thought...

i asked the same question about NISMO 480cc's in my R34. The response i got was to be safe, run an adjustable FPR. but i might save myself the $200 or so for a Nismo FPR if i don't need it...

so you brought full boost down by what... 300-400rpm by switching to E85???

Doo's if you get one mate, do not, i repeat DO NOT, get "paint protection", it is possibly the biggest rip-off in new car sales this side of the GTR servicing costs. I know some manufacturers charge nearly $1k!! (might cost them $75 for the kit). It does nothing, does not last the x number of years they claim and they will royaly screw your paint which will cost you $$ to get it fix professionally by a proper detailer. You have been warned... oh, this applies for ALL new cars... carry on

thanks mate! that means a lot considering how many crazy cars you would have come through the workshop! it's ok... i know you prefer the marble paint Never a chore? i thought she's proven to be a bit of a touchy one to work one... But this is my first foray into tuning/modifying etc... Oh, i forgot to mention mods... 1998 R34 GT-T Manual Stock Clutch Status Tuning ECU Remap Hyper Gear High Flow Turbo: OP6 Rear housing, G3 Profile, 76mm compressor wheel Z32 AFM (maxed out stock one at 248rwkw i think, about 17psi) Nismo 480cc Injectors (mmmm 4 hole spray pattern.... :drools:) Walbro Fuel Pump Blitz High Flow panel filter Blitz Spec-R DSBC Just Jap return flow FMIC Splitfire coilpacks Copper plugs gapped to .8 (bcpr something-a-rather) rev210 mod for intake pipe (3" stainless pipe shoved inside) BATMBL Split front/dump pipe, 3" Stainless Catco 3" high flow cat (small body ceramic) HKS Super Dragger catback exhaust (3") and i think that's it. Pretty much the standard stuff before you start with cams or opening up the engine/head, etc. I would not be surprised if other 34's/33's made more power with this turbo and same mods. "Geraus" has made more power with the first turbo i tried from HyperGear, by about 7rwkw (also done at Status Tuning). I think my car has always just been a tad down on power, so i reckon someone would crack the 260's with this turbo if they were running a pod/bigger cat... IMO oh, sorry Denis. I actually was lucky enough to run into someone down at Status, another friendly SAU'er and we were chatting and he just randomly mentioned he had an OP6 rear housing he wasn't using, so i took that off his hands for a nominal fee So i just lucked out with that. I sold my stock turbo because it was still in really good condition. I got rid of my stock turbo for a good price and i don't think i'd be keen on handing over a fully working stocker for high flowing. I would try and find a blown one or rear housing if i had to again. Or just buy an AVO housing maybe get a group buy going on those housings at get Stao to do the rest? Probably come up with a killer turbo

sorry just about to head out... stock clutch... can't it handle this much power? seems ok? injectors Nismo 480cc's. Wanted the nice spray pattern and something that drops straight in. Been told with an adj FPR, i can get to 300rwkw safely Turbo was $800 New oil line was $75-80 and that's it. For the second time round, G3/76mm - i used an OP6 rear housing - check the main hypergear thread for my dyno results geraus, i reckon you're doing well to get that power with that turbo... my car always seems to be a bit down on power when you compare the same mods

i only made 225rwkw with the G2/71 i've got a G3/76

awesome results mate. i'm sold, going to get an adjustable FPR (because only got 480cc injectors) and will tune with E85 asap. So Trent got to play with your car? damn man, 283rwkw from a GT2835Pro S... that's so impressive. Graph? what were your boost leaks mate? i think i've still got one from the FMIC area. how'd you go about finding them? were you able to hear them at all?

maybe for like power steering fluid, but i thought over-filling oil is one of the worst things you can do

i will be 99% joining your Gareth and yeah, echo your thoughts about holding other people up. Will be down for driver training.

what specs you get? just got mine all sorted on my R34 if you want to check the other hypergear thread

can't find a graph of stock vs g2 found a graph of g2 @ 15.8psi vs g3 @ 15.4psi though, will put that up...

Hi all, ok, it's been a long journey, and there have been a few hiccups along the way, but i think we're finally sorted. I've been a bit of guinea pig for Stao at his high-flows as there wasn't any R34 data around, and there wasn't any OP6 rear housing data around. I can now say that the results are in and i'm happy to let others out there know how everything went. First turbo we tried as an R33 rear housing, 71mm compressor wheel and the 'G2' profile. Long story short, was VERY responsive (read stock response), but only got about ~220rwkw. Engine/turbo wasn't that happy with the rear housing (being an R33) but the turbo was very punchy. Those specs with an OP6 rear housing, i think would make for a very nice responsive turbo, but i was chasing 250rkw Enter the OP6 rear housing, Hyper Gear's G3 Profile and 76mm compressor wheel. Obviously a trade off in response, but not that much and was able to achieve the 250rwkw. Full boost by around 3600rpm, which i think is very livable after driving around town. The goal was something equivalent to the HKS GTR-S or HKS GT2835Pro S without the MASSIVE price tag, and i think we've come pretty damn close for a $800 turbo. And finally, the results.... in chart form!! 252rwkw @ 17.4psi - 241rwkw @15.5psi - nice fat, smooth curve The green line is with Z32 AFM, you can see how dead flat it became i believe the little dip was due to a touch of pinging, so i "think" it backed off a bit around there. But don't quote me on that I don't know much about these things And +11ty thanks to STATUS TUNING for doing ALL the work and tuning on the car. I truly cannot recommend these guys enough. They have looked after me unbelievable well, and their attention to detail, pride in their work and quality of their work is beyond excellent. They may be busy (what good workshop isn't) but if you're looking for a performance workshop to take your car too, you will be very hard pressed to find anywhere better than Status. Also helps that Trent is also generous enough to give some of this very limited time to help a lot of people out in the Forced Induction section for free, so if you get some advice from 'URAS' in your thread, you'd be well off listening to it So for those not wanting to spend the big dollars on a GTRS etc, i reckon a G3/76mm turbo from HyperGear would be the go. OP6 rear housing, or maybe even buy one of AVO's rear housings... now that would be fun

that would be me Status Tuning did the install for me, was happy to pay to make sure it was done right. Things could get very pricey if the install is done incorrectly. EDIT: updated main hypergear thread with my dyno charts, G3, 76mm compressor wheel - OP6 rear housing, bolted onto NEO RB25DET

hahaha. fair point. well i want to keep things safe, so i'll keep the 480's and get an adj FPR - unless it's a million times safer to get bigger injectors that is... second hand Nismo FPR would be ok for the job? or too risky to go second hand?

^ that's a lot of power... i think i will be just a tad shy of that but how is that even possible? Isn't the rough calculation 480cc on a six cylinder enginer = ~480hp, which is ~350'is kw's, which is about 300-310rwkw? (40-50kw drive train loss)? Ok, i'll keep the injectors then But i'll still need an adj FPR at least. I take it Nismo would be the choice for an adj FPR? Is it ok to get a second hand FPR? I recently got a Z32, but spent the extra money to get a new one because i was advised you never know about a second hand one. Is that a similar issue for a second hand FPR? better off going new or it doesn't matter for fpr's? thanks guys!

i have Nismo 480cc's at the moment, and just wanted to know if they could get to 300rwkw and how safe is running an adj FPR with the 480cc's, compared to running bigger injectors? Unfortunately if i go up in size, then i lose the nice spray pattern of the nismo's because from nismo, 480cc is my only option. And good luck finding some blitz injectors at a decent price (525cc or there-abouts)

sorry to dig this up... but i take it Nismo 480cc injectors will do whatever S15 480cc injectors do? Does the fact that the Nismo's have that 4 hole spray pattern make any difference? and i take it from this thread, to get to 300rwkw, i'll definitely need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator?

watching

^ listen to the man... "this way to... Status Tuning!" -------> Status Tuning

Just kinda to recap a bit... the only downsides so far are... - availability - a few more fuel filter changes? - cleaning the valves a bit more regularly? say every 50,000km or so? i guess i'm using the term "regularly" relatively... that's it? i recently was talking to a guy who runs E85 on a rotor, stupid power, stupid boost, insane levels or everything He was saying that you can't lean on the timing as much as everyone thinks, and it's not as safe as everyone thinks. I mentioned there were people who have gained ~50rwkw from just changing to E85, and he said yes but dangerous as most likely done all with timing. I got the impression though that this guy knew some things, but perhaps not everything, even though the impression was he knew pretty much all there is to know about E85, etc. I was dubious given the results some people have had here on SAU with E85... Now, the percentage of knowledge i have compared to you guys is about 1%, but i thought one of the many benefits of this fuel is to realise more power by advancing the timing, but in safe manner?

what $$'s are we talking roughly for the head work on a NEO?

hahahaha, i saw "wookies" and got a picture of a bunch of wookies racing around the track

nice way for the dirt/crud/crap to stick to your chrome lip... also helping the brake dust to adhere to the rim. Brake dust is corrosive.

ditch BOV get a computer of some sort bigger injectors + E85 /thread EDIT: you're QLD, don't think you have E85 up there. You're going to have to go bigger turbo mate. Ask Stao @ Hypergear (check traders section) to build you something that can handle 300rwkw.
