Hi,

I have a friend that just bought a very tidy R33 GTR from Japan and it's on its way here. He wants to make big power (hoping for 3xx rwkw). It's pretty obvious it's gonna need a big exhaust from the turbo's back, boost controller etc. etc. but I'm more after recommendations on which garrett turbo's to get and whether or not aftermarket cams are necessary. I am very familiar with Silvia's etc and just want to know what GTR-specific things it needs.

Thanks,

Brad

you could search for the info, but ill make it easy for you...

ECU , power FC is popular and cheap but theres heaps of others...

you will also need injectors, 700cc sards are easy, fuel pump 044 seems the go... stock fuel system is only good for ~250awkw safe...

you will also need air flow meters X2 to handle the increased flow. z32 or simlar, nismo would be my choice

and if it were me, id go the garrett GT2860r -5 turbos...

cams and cam gears, shoud see you to ~340awkw, without them, youd have to run high PSI boost to get there... ie. less safe...

There is no consensus. Everyone has their own suggestions and ideas.

Just like how you thought the gtst limit is 280 rwkw. Some say it's more like 250-260. Others have put it to over 350 rwkw.

I don't see why a set of highflow turbos wouldn't make it over 300 rwkw. Gtrgeoff has a slide set, and put out over 310 rwkw on only 14 psi. on 18-19 psi, there's a lot more puff to go yet

People keep posting about poncams (etc) being a straight dropin etc Is swapping cams on a 100 000 km motor (or a fresh import u know nothing about) really a sane move without new springs collets etc etc etc which is more often than not a head off move so you would be mad not to clean up ports for better flow while its off. and if your going to go that far it isnt alot more work to check out rings bearings etc then u might as well balance while its apart.

Better to just do the full rebuild from the start!

Or just chuck on turbos and put aside cash for rebuild when the inevitable occurs!

trying to justify similar things myself at the moment cant u tell :laugh:

      Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4

      Dual exhaust questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By 32.det · Posted

      Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.

      Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
