Heya you had an awesome result!!

How come you sold the GTRS?

[WARLORD]

Heya you had an awesome result!!

How come you sold the GTRS?

firstly :yes the result was great, lots of fun awesome acceleration and mid range

secondly:i never made the power figure i wanted,i listened to the white elephant theories.lllol

thirdly:i got to used to the power as it is a every day car and i do a far bit of highway flying .lol

fourthly:i got the price i wanted for the gt-rs kit and my nismo 550cc injectors .

fifthly:i was debating nos kit or 3037 for the last 5 months so i picked 3037 cos i can use it everyday un-like nos.

sixthly:most of my mates have old school v8s that run 11ns and i wanted to at least give them a better run .

sevenly:my mate how has a R32gtr has relit my greed for more power well thats what i told my wife so marko its your fault...thats the story im sticking

[PM-R33]

Hahahahahaha fair enough then.

Wait for a SAU or club "dyno day"

Just saw this thread for the first time VERY impressive and a nice selection of mods.

I too have a HKS GTRS kit; but running Tomei Poncams, head porting, std plenum and std bottom end. My a/f ratios were kept at approx. 11.5:1, to keep the engine "safe". Running 18psi i made 268.2rwkw, but your response is WAY more impressive. Could be due to the plenum, cams, fmic (i was using a truck core), but most probably to the fresh rebuild.

The engine has since blown, while i was at a race track (cyl #3 dropped compression), and i have decided to build an rb2530, which means upgrading the turbo, again. I guess i will never know what the GTRS's true potential is, but yours demonstrates it clearly. Well done mate, an excellent build and it would feel awesome to drive.

Below is a comparison between our two graphs, you will be happy:

For my new engine i have bought a new GReddy plenum, XTR 100mm fmic, Garrett GT30R turbo 500hp (smallest recommended turbo), ATI balancer and a whole lot of other parts. Unfortunately it takes my mechanic a lot longer than 3 weeks to build an engine, but we'll get there.

All the best and enjoy

Damn 11 months since that post and i am only getting the car back this week

Car was ready 4 months ago, but had to go back to be rebuilt as the block used had a pin-hole and was weeping oil.

Any built as described in my quoted post: not sure i mentioned rb30det, and using a 70mm core not the 100mm

Note: Dyno graphs for "running in" tune. Once run in car will be tuned properly with an extra 5psi, more aggressive timing, adjustments of the IN and EXH cam gears and 8000rpm rev limit.

Al thats one of the cleanest and most sexiest engine bay i have seen in a long time. So simple, yet a beast leaks beneath it all!!

btw where did you get that rocker cover from?

[Al]

Thanks mate!

If you are referring to the coil pack cover; it's the std one with the center milled out and meshed.

[siddr20]

Thanks for that.. I might give it a try when i got some time..

hows my toyo t1rs going? lol

damn, that looks awesome Al! Can't wait to see it at a SAU event- you'll have to take me for a spin - i was plently impressed with you previous setup - this ones gonna be a monster!

I've got the GTS4 booked in for cam gears and a retune - but any gains will seem pathetic compared to your's!

[SLY33]

Al, very nice work, love the clean result of your build, its gonna be an absolute ride in a RWD platform!

link to your build-up thread? cheers

[WARLORD]

good stuff al nice engine cool engine bay ill like to see the out come when you turn it up.

it will be nice if you could do a comparison with our new set ups like you did with the gt-rs turbos

[Al]

Thanks for that.. I might give it a try when i got some time..

hows my toyo t1rs going? lol

Believe it or not, they have just been fitted to the car last week

I am yet to drive with them, but all should be good, read some good reviews on them, before i bought them off you.

Thanks Phil

Next time we meet, i'll take you for a drive mate. It's totally different to the way my rb25det setup delivered power. In the dry, this is more tractable and doesn't tend to kick out violently; unless you want it too

Good luck with the re-tune buddy!

[Al]

Thanks Sly33 & Warlord,

No build-up thread unfortunately.

Can't wait to wind it up myself. You can't see it in the pic, but at the moment i have a direct line from the comp cover to the actuator, no solenoids, restricters or boost controllers. In most setups, this normally makes the power feel doughy or laggy, but i get 1bar of boost by 2800rpm So once the engine is bedded in we'll be playing around a fair bit with the set-up and extract as much response and power as possible.

Dotted line = Power curve

Solid Line = Boost curve
