More Power

[donkey]

hey everyone...just would like to put the question out there, maybe get some feedback on this topic. r33 gtr at the moment im running power fc, exhaust, droppipes, cam gears, podfilters, 240awkw. going on the car is garrett 2860's, tomei dumppipes, bigger fuelpump, 770 injectors, greedy profect b 2,tripple plate clutch....my mechcanic said 370awkw is what i can get, but seen my engine has done 160k's that power figure is a bit high.....i discussed alot lower awkw, but more torque....i was thinking maybe around the 320-330awkw would be better for the engine (engine in mint condition high compression, no knocking or noises yet) any suggestions would be great.....cheers robbie

Logical thinkin there dude, thats a good idea, with your enigine km's that high. HKS GT-SS's or similar would be the go for that power range. These things will come on boost pretty much the same as the stock ones, and ripp your head off all the way to redline!

oh dam, those turbos sound sweet, i guess when the engine gets a rebuild maybe the 2860's will be sweet for higher boost? i just got these turbos brand new for a real good price........

2860's would be awesome, dont get me wrong, im just givin you my 2 cents, as i was almost in the same position as you. I asked people what turbo for my power level and i couldn't count the number of people that replied with stuff like "man, HKS GT-SS's are the way to go, hands down for an insane street GTR"

If you got them for a good price bro ------> Go for it, strap those bad boys on and have some fun!!!!

HKS GT-SS

The only choice for that power goal, stock motor.

Do a search on them, heaps of info

I've got your exact planned setup (2860-5), but without cams/cam gears. Currently have 290kw@4 and run a 11.8@117mph. I wouldn't call it laggy but I have not been in a GT-SS car to see the comparison... no doubt they're more responsive.

I've got poncams 260/260 9.15mm and cam gears being fitted at the moment... so not sure what I'll get after that, hopefully around 320kw@4 om the stock bottom end (I don't want to push it anymore) but we'll see.. just hoping to run over 120mph.

Hope this helps.

hmm..talking to robbie ward (RIPS gtr specialist check youtube under rips) and spec performance (cars always feature in performance car magazines) they all reakon that the stock engine can handle way more then 350awkw without needing cam/head ,work on stock internals???? any thoughts????? i dont want to stuff my engine, but these guys highly regarded mechanics.......

They use hub dynos in NZ whos figures arent the same as our chassis dyno's

So their 350 would be 320-310 here.

But there are enough people who have killed a stock RB26 with 350rwkw now (after 2-3 years) to know that they wont last forever.

[bnr#@]

Stock internals can handle 400rwkw+... just not stock internals that are 17 years old...

Im shure when these engines were new they could handle even more then that but time has taken its toll
