I've got a good friend who wants to throw money at his car, he's pretty much sorted for suspension, brakes, wheels, just looking at the motor really

he already has:

Power fc

clutch

Cam gears

and wants to keep the bottom end standard. with a possibility of cams

i suggested some 25/30's as he wants usable power like i have or gt-ss??

Injectors dont know which size??

fuel pump

dumps either hks or ??

wants around 300kw i guess.

Cheers

Andrew

Andrew...seriously....get him to change oil,water pumps...timing belt and timing gear bolts........

If he has done this and is confident in the motor...then 2530's /GT2860-5 ,HKS DUMPS ,AVCR Boost controller...Nismo fuel pump and regulator,Slitfire Coils, 700cc or higher injectors followed by good safe tune for street and he will be able to see 300AWKW's.

11.5 seconds 1/4 Mile and most important 4 sec...100km's.....

OK he also wants to go cams..Poncam's are the best......with cam gears aswell...

Total estimated cost for pump,water and oil belt and labour $1800

Total estimated cost for mods....including Poncams...... $13000

Does he have that sort of money?

If he does...get him to buy a Nismo crate engine...I think by memory..$13000

also, if he wants 300 at the wheels then go for the GT-SS kit which is going for $2500 on nengun at the moment which includes all gaskets and bolts. He already has a decent setup to make a good gain with the kit without changing fuelling or AFM requirements

Theres a set of x-force dumps going for $290 in the for sale section. I dunno if theyve sold already or not and are based on the HKS design (ie. split)

Well said.

If his power goals are ~300kw at the wheels, then IMHO you would want to select a turbo package that can not only reach that power figure, but also provide the best possible response for street.

Therefore, the answer is GT-SS's.

The HKS GT-SS / Tomei Type B Poncams / Sard 700'c combo has been proven time and time again to produce anywhere from 300-330awkw with relative ease (depending on the tune of course).

sorry to be off topic angus, was ur gtr at the drags on wensday the one with the wing remooved and like 10 or so spoked wheels?

hey yeah i had the wing removed with the bits still on the boot for the arc wing i have, but i think there are 5 or 6 spoke wheels..

OK nice thanks for the feedback guys.

oil pump

timing belt

hks dumps

nismo fuel pump and reg

550cc-700cc injectors

gt-ss turbos

looking at around $5200 without shipping from nengun. and without a water pump either.

say $6000 with shipping $600 for 10% if customs grabs it. $6600 around $2000 for labour

$8600 in total. hows that sound??

going to need cams waterpump by the looks of things

Edited by Angus Smart

You dont "need" cams. Cars have made 300rwkw without em

Also get the Nismo 555/550cc ones. Bolt in, and certainly not too big. You might even get there on stock injectors aswell.

300rwkw = GT-SS.

2530/2860's, are too big for what your friend wants.

And nismo crate motor? Do you even know what comes with it?

Seriously 700HP-GTR33, please stop misleading people with incorrect posts/advice on parts/quote/prices etc etc.

Most threads people end up correcting something that would otherwise mislead users

$2000 for labour is not going to cut it.........allow........$4000+ depending on troubles you might get into...and don't forget tune.

Seriously, what are you smoking?

Im sorry but the majority of your posts offering your 'technical knowledge' of late are full of baseless garbage.

Are you quoting random facts you read in the latest issue of Hot 4's magzine?

Do you have any idea what your talking about?

Nick......I have been there.....

Installation of Nismo fuel pump...and regulator.....$500...plus pump...Drop out tank....drain...install pump..and regulator.

Installation of Injectors....No mechanic will do it for less than $300 and obviously computer needs to be re-calibrated....$$$

Installation of Turbo's...dumps.....with engine in...$600+ ....that is if you are not fussy with installing new gaskets or renewing the oil and water lines.

Installation of new oil pump...lots of dramas so I think make sure you remove the motor out....extra $300 to get motor out.

Last time we needed to drop the sump and still could not get the Nismo item back in...pick up is lower and did not want to twist it getting it back in.....Oh make sure you put lock-tite on the screws inside...bad design...

He needs to renew his water pump...those things go quickly...so the new water pump + fitting...Say $300.

The car still has not been tuned yet...so allow..$500 for 4 to 5 hours on the dyno+ road tune...

So get off your high horse Nick...have you ever payed work-shop prices...?

The lucky thing is he has a friend that is a mechanic....make sure he knows what his doing...breaking washers or bolts on the removal of the old turbo's can set things back and cost more to fix....

Goes for you to ash.....I have been through all this and can even post receipts on work carried out by performance work-shops.

If You and Nick agree that for $2000 you can get Turbo's/Dumps/Injectors/Fuel pump/Regulator/Oil pump/Timing Belt

all fitted..........I believe you are mis-leading people.....let alone there has been no talk of a good tune and all the other minor details that will be need to be adressed.

Good luck with the mods mate..

Oh as far as the new crate motor..here is a link http://www.justjap.com/parts_nengines.htm

That is a long bare engine, and is a Nissan R33 GTR N1 engine, not a Nismo 'Crate' engine.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
