Ive just handed my car over to get it turbo'd up

parts im fitting for the turbo conversion are:-

apexi power fc ($1029 ebay :P)

apexi avcr ($588 ebay :))

turbo + oil and water lines (stock)

front pipe and dump pipe(stock)

370cc injectors + fuel pressure regulator (stock)

turbo manifold (stock)

600x300x76 intercooler kit from just jap ($350)

walbro 500hp intank fuel pump ($170)

parts cost me around 2600

labour is costing me 1500

the tune for the power fc is costing 650 including installation

parts ive already got on:-

hks super dragger exhaust system

drift urethane pod filter

i expect around 160rwkw but may be more not sure :) but thats what i reckon will have to post up all dyno figures when i get it back which should be in a week or so

hopefully nothing goes BANG hahaha

no head gasket???

u should put a thicker head gasket at least for sum boost.....maybe forgies?

forgies later but maybe a head gasket when i source one, ive already got a uas tailshaft which claims "more response and less drivetrain loss" that gets fitted once the car comes back to me :P

Leave it high-compression for a bit, you'll crack 180rwkw and have a ton more torque at 7psi :)

A headgasket just turns it back into a boring RB25DET spec engine :P

more boost and possibly more reliable, would rather that then my engine dying after a few months

OK 100 dramas later (including a steel wheel turbo that we couldnt modify to fit) and a blown clutch ive gotten my car back from advan, with only 160rwkw (which is alot more than stock) have gearbox dramas at the moment, a bit hard to get into 1st and reverse but im sure it just needs an oil change (redline oils perhaps?) but if i need a new box well then shi.t happens, other than that i think the low rwkw is due to me finding out that the exhaust isnt actually a cat back but the tip has just been replaced (damn northshore prestige i asked for a cat back!!) and also the low boost and timing of it all. A few more issues which i will be sorting out soon is a new timing belt and getting the radiator fluid as well as hoses changed, i still havent got the greddy turbo timer installed that will be next on the list as well. I will also be doing internals around tax return time, whether i just put in some forged pistons or should i do the rods as well, if i do the pistons do i have to do the rods too? after i get some advice i'll start buying the parts.

any comments or advice is welcome cheers.

what boost are you running to get 160 at the wheels, i was a little dissapointed i only hit 130 but i have a r32 turbo grr 33 one blew up, you have a bigger cooler than i do but that wouldnt really affect the power cept mabye you can up the boost or timing a little, the only other reall difference i have is a microtech sted of power fc and i have an after market fuel reg rather and stock na injectors but they arnt maxxed out yet so they arnt holding my power back any.

at the moment theres stock boost, but im a bit dissapointed with the result as i thought i had a cat back but it turns out to be a stock exhaust with new tip lol *note to self dont ever trust a car dealer* but yeah stock boost and theres no real modifications apart from pfc and cooler, i should be getting a full turbo back sorted out very shortly hoping to hit the 175 - 180 mark with that atm theres too much torque it pulls hard but i havent gone past 4000rpm 1. coz im scared to loose control and 2. coz new clutch

The torque is great...I'm still in disbelief that unarmed isn't running the injectors out off puff...maybe the RB20 turbo just doesn't flow enough full stop. Get an R33 turbo and you should see at least what DaGr81 is seeing. When he replaces the exhaust, whammy!!!

yeh boo hoo to the 32 turbo lol its not pushing as much as when the 33 turbo was on only breifly, grrr i asked for another 33 turbo n what do they do go and put on a 32 turbo get it all running then tell me and say ohh it flows the same grrr bullshit, oh well, after a few weeks of driving the car now im liking the power more and more and figuring the feel out, the kick at 5000rpm aint there with the microtech dunno if thats cause it doesnt have vtc control or cause the vct control has been set up to run like a turbo but it does seem that a 5k the turbo starts to run out of puff and drops a little boost but the car doesnt seem to drop any power and still pulls right out to redline so mabye its a turbo thing i duno, the start up and cold start procedures arnt right get ill have to take it back next week to get them to look at it, other than that my fuel reg is really noisy so im getting that changed under warrenty, but ohh the car is soo much more powerfull now loving it, would love to put a 33 turbo on and cooler and injectors car could prob hit round 180-200 then but im happy with what i got atm lol

i havent updated this in a while.

done a few things since my turbo conversion.

had cooling to take care of so i threw in a nismo 62.5 degree thermo, which i got rid of a week later because it was keeping temps at 68 all day long, now i binned the stock radiator and have a just jap item in there looks good and does a good job temps hover around 78 which is a good temp.

i binned the standard dump pipe and front pipe, also from just jap is a 3" split dump/front pipe, only thing left to do now is fix up that exhaust system, as i mentioned earlier its really stuffed "meant to be a 3" hks super dragger" but the cat is only 2" and the pipe to the tip is all different diameters, hard to believe that it came with it like that from japan, got quoted 350 for a pipe change (keeping the hks tip) and i'll probably end up with a xforce cat.

power output is around the 180rwkw mark at the moment not sure on torque but once i fix the exhaust problem i will dyno again and post up the sheet.

was also about to do the brake conversion when i eyed an 8piston caliper kit which im really keen on so ive sold off all the brake parts i had and now will get the 8 pistons (too big but it looks nice :P) 5 stud hubs are in the garage as well as the rear brake parts (will need r34gtt rims until im ready for some nice enkei's) :D

only one thing left from here....ive been saving for about 5 months for this.........RB30 :P

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
