stock turbo :yes: don't think so

Yep.

300rwkw + stock turbos = no sale.

250rwkw, no problem. 300rwkw is way off the achieveable.

If you want 300rwkw, its a GT-SS or Garrett Equivs in a turbo change which worst case is going to cost 5k installed/tuned

HKS 2530s? yummy

Those alone (with injectors and AFM's) will give you around 325kw's @ 19psi with your current set-up. If you also add some poncams you'll increase that slightly but increase your mid-range heaps.

Then once you get bored with that you can build your bottom end and go for 360+ no problems.

If you think 300 is going to keep you happy for ever then the GT-SS or 2860-7's or R34 N1's are your best option. But you won't really get much past 260 on the stock turbo's.

I think the next mod should be to give me the car =) I'll even give you my 33 GTR V-Spec as a gesture of good will. Best mod EVER ^_^

For me...

As stated, 300 won't happen on stock turbo's safely if at all but you have plenty of options and if you can afford a 34 GTR then you'll have no worries throwing a few K at the turbo setup to get you the 300rwkw's you're after. As was also pointed out, you might need to consider exactly what power you have in mind as a bottom end build may also be required if you can see yourself wanting more than 350kw's+

Be sure to keep us posted =D

What are you wanting to use the power for? Thats going to have a huge bearing on what people will recommend.

Is it for the track?,

for the strip?

for a fast road car?

for a relaxed cruiser? ( :yes: well maybe not)

As they said on top gear on Monday (when the Porsche 911 handed a beating to 2 far more powerful cars), its how you put the power down (and where it is in the curve) that really matters :) .

I have similar mods to you (minus clutch) on my 32GTR and have 34GTR turbos. Currently 240rwkw @ 15psi. I have a few more mods planned before I hit turbos (GT-SS or N1's for 300-320rwkw), I spose I can 'hope' for 250kw with these turbos, maybe.

Tune it for 250, then see if its worth spending the extra money getting it to 300. Most people are content with 250 once they get it.

yup, thats what i have i mind

im in the process of fitting the parts now

whack in the pfc & get it tuned, hopefully i'll make the 250rwkw mark

and will enjoy it for a lil bit till I get bored of the power, then put more $ to push for the 300

but will keep u guys posted

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 路 Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 路 Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 路 Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
