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!!!! :P

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.

Tommo.

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.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
