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

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
