I am curious to know what the reliable and possible limits are for the components that make up our skylines. I've been through the dyno thread to see what people have done, but that and whats reliable are two diferent things.

Eg... I have an R33 GTR vspec, so based on the components of a standard car what are the limits of that parts that we all change when tuning for max power.

440cc Injectors - xxxHP

Standard GTR AFM's - xxxHP

R33 Fuel pump - xxxHP

Standard Rods - xxxHP

Standard Crank - xxxHP

Standard pistons - xxxHP

Standard block - xxxHP

Oil pump limits - xxxHP

Standard R33 Cams - xxxHP

Anyone care to jump in here...?

Cheers,

The figures will vary depending on peoples individual experiences.

ie 1 person will say their fuel pump died at 220kw where as others will say they need to replace it at 250kw.

Yes true, but 30kw is hardly worth mentioning for somethign like a pump. Its usually the first thing changed too, then a fuel pressure regulator to crank every last bit out of your stock injectors.

Thinks like rod bolts let go at rpms as well, due to age and metal fatigue. Its hard to really see what happened when your looking at the aftermath of a rod failure too. A LOT of failures happen due to missed shifts, or are due to bad tune.

Its a lot easier to be sure of the limits of sensors to the point where the ability to tune properly is no-longer possible, vs the point at which a rod turns into a banana because you used too much boost... Can you tell i'm a high octane fan!!!?

Also to note, someones motor dies with say 300rwkw due to poor tuning and they dont realise.

Or they have tried to push say... the injectors too hard.

Again, the limit is also wrong then.

Roughly it goes like this from what i have seen here over the years

RB26 - 330rwkw street/300rwkw circuit

RB25 - 280wkw street/250rwkw circuit

Also things like AFM's etc, you can tune past the point they max out.

Some tuners get better results with stock cams than aftermarket ones etc. Its all dependant on car setup and the intended use and i would say its all individual based upon this.

Dynos make a difference too, one might be 30rwkw higher due to the model/type. Again thats a noticeable difference depending on the circumstance.

It is really hard to gauge something.

440cc Injectors - 440HP (or around 280rwkw)

Standard GTR AFM's - will hit the max 5.115v at around 260rwkw

R33 Fuel pump - change it when you change the injectors.

Standard Rods - xxxHP

Standard Crank - xxxHP

Standard pistons - xxxHP

Standard block - xxxHP

Oil pump limits - xxxHP

Standard R33 Cams - xxxHP

the other parts you mention don't really have a power rating. it depends on application, tuning, driver, support sytems etc as to how long they can live.

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
