Hey I just got a 98 gtr vspec with -5s n cat back, once I finish the exshust n do a full remap I hope I get some better power, but my main goal is 350awkw so the hunt for parts begins lol do you think I could break a 11 sec pass??

You should be able to do high 11's on the factory turbos (260-270rwkw). R32 GTR's have run mid 11 with the factory items, R34's are a bit heavier so a high 11/low 12

350rwkw you are looking deep 11/high 10's but it all comes down to driving, launch, tyres etc

GT2860-7 or 9's

Nistune or powerfc

panel filter

front pipe

decent cat

injectors if your aiming much over 300kw to BE SAFE, std r32 injectors are getting a big long in the tooth and can leak.

300-330rwkw easy, it kinda the stable mod diet for a R32 or R33 GTR nowadys.

who said -5s are stock turbos?

and how do you define "better"? more power? more responsive?

I think your misinterpreting Dagz's poorly constructed previous post, it actually says I have Garrett -5's which are better than stock turbo's.

I would assume better = more power in this case (and non-ceramic exhaust wheels :) )

Personally I want 2860-9's at some point in this year but I'm not so interested in drag times, more in street/track response where I drive on the street more often than the track :)

Hi mate. I would decide if it is going to be a predominantly street car, or track and street car.

I have a 33 GTR. Initially stock. Put exhaust, filters, removed boost restrictor - was good for 240RWKW. It was awesome for the street, and in my opinion perfect for a daily driver. Lightning response, pleasure to drive every day. On the track though, boost came on super early, but like a light switch, meaning it would get messy if you nailed it coming out of a corner (Im sure this could have been corrected with a power FC and good tune).

Then added 2860-9 turbos, power FC, oil cooler, and cam gears for an easy 280RWKW on a Racepace safe tune. In comparison, it actually feels a little slower on the street. And I emphasise feels. Only because it requires more road to wind up the turbos which are slightly less responsive. On the track it is way way better, boost comes on early but progressively for great control out of corners, with a fat and elastic mid range. Wouldn't push a 32 too much more that this sort of tune unless you budget for a rebuilt in the future.

Cheers,

Luke.

I have a 32 and I bought a pair of -5's but before I install I am going to swap them for a pair of -9's. I think standard engines just can't see the big power that -5 are capable of. As such go for the slightly more responsive turbo, which will give power without stretching a standard motor.

Along with this I have the following

- CES Race pipes (already have 3.5" cat back)

- Larger 4" cat

- Cam Gears

- Power FC and 550cc injectors, Blitz EBC (installed in car for some time now)

- Will get nismo or tomei fuel pump

- A bit of ceramic coating turbine housings and manifolds

Will hopefully see at least 300rwkw at around 1.3bar.

PS. start saving for a rebuild too

is asking 400rwhp for a street driven(occasional skid pan etc) R34 RB26DETT asking too much from it internally. I am aware the R34 RB26 is the "strongest" of the bunch, but what are its limits?

Is it safe to run a 34R with a exhaust(front pipe, cat, catback) change, pod filters, EBC @ 14 psi WITHOUT any changes to factory computer? for example one wouldnt dare do that to a WRX unless one had a rebuild/new engine on standby :P

Snowman ran 330rwkw for i think 2.5years (lots of circuit/street) and it failed. Only one example though.

You might as well get a PFC mate, for $900 - why not? :P

Factory R34 turbos will only give you around 250rwkw either way - although depends how much of a risk taker you are.

I wouldn't run factory turbos @ 14psi... I would be fearful of turbo death (which leads to motor usually)... so 12psi would be where i'd stop factory turbos.

Yes i realise the above is conservative, but it's better than a dead motor if you dont plan to ever rebuild

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
