that basicaly goes through everything. if you are only looking for 300-350kw range the stock internal bottom end is fine (good for 600hp and 7200rpm) remember that all pricing on their site is in NZD not AUD.

Anyone know where is good to order online that is pretty quick?? I am after parts first week of November. Got a few places but not sure if they have all that I need so would be good to shop around.

Cheers :banana:

Send it up Kat...our head work is top shelf PM Jz R33 as we just did an engine for him that he picked up on Saturday.

Our engines have a proven track record taking out several Autosalon power championships and powering our R32 drag car to win the Australian title in 2004-2005. We have just built our current engine in our race car to push over the 1000hp mark and into the 8 sec bracket.

Im doing a couple of engines for ACT customers actually...you may know some of them.

Kat, make sure you consider this post!

LOL I'm happy to have 4wd and the more power she gets the happier I am! Haha rather have traction than fishtail down Gungahlin drive like what was happening when I had no front wheels engaging! :)

Do you know what yours dynos at the rear??

no idea at the moment...only got a 3 inch zorst and pod so i cant imagine more than 140ish 150ish at the wheels...plus i took the boost controller off so its running stock boost at the moment :) still enough compared to the old pulsar but.

it's booked in to autotech next tuesday, they are going to check air / fuel, try and diagnose that sensor problem thats making the car feel crap. hopefully give me a power figure then. when i spoke to the guy today he said it might jsut be easier to get a power fc so i can tune it n stuff...we'll see.

i bet the fishtail was fun hey? i had my first powerslide incident coming out of a round about the other day when it was raining...not as bad as what i expected it to be but...

Power FC FTW!!! Best thing I ever bought for it.... So far :)

Compared to the Pulsar must feel like a rocket!! I remember getting in the GTR for the first time after driving around a non turbo for 4 or 5 years... Haha OMG!!! :)

Well I've always had good results from those guys so they should be able to sort it out for you. I wasn't sure how stock yours was. At least it's nice and tidy, I like stock so then you can do whatever you want to it. Modding = expensive but awesomes!!!

LOL was a bit embarrassing cause was unplanned!

yeah my awesome powerslide was pretty much me jsut out of a roundabout...was going straight and put my foot down...hit boost was fine...hit 4K = loss of traction pluss bit of a kick

was kinda cool hehe.

where di u source your FC from kat??? can autotech get them or do i have to go through an online shop?? ive never shopped online before lol :) somewhere local supply them??

guess ill wait for them to tell me what the problem is first.

Sinista v1.0 (Black GTST) ran 178rwkw. Pod, Zorst, T-peice boost controller and 2530 turb.

Sudden stop at metal bus stop by next owner ~ 0rwkws :)

Guys that have done this all before me, can you please let me know wht brands you have used for....

Cams

Pistons

Conrods

Injectors

Oil Pump

I have some ideas now and wanna hear what everyone else is using :banana:

Cheers.

Just been through it all, engine is at the builders now!

Cams: Tomei, Hks or other (not sure were already in engine)

Pistons: i went with Mahle pistons (Probably one of the best pistons you can buy) were around $900

Conrods: i went with Pauter. (also one of the best money could buy at the time) also were around $800

Injectors: i bought some 800cc injectors (i think they are denso) from slide on this forum (in the for sale trader section)

Oil Pump: Using N1 pump still. (with a well balanced bottom end, and staying away from rev limit launches etc they will be fine) will be looking at dry sump later on

Best thing to get is the nismo full engine gasket kit too @ around 4-500 bucks its very good value :P and you wont have problems with leaky aftermarket gaskets and seals..

I bought most of my engine parts in the Usa, while the dollar was at around .95, therefor i spend a bit more money and got myself Very good parts.

also got a n1 water pump for around 200 bucks from the usa..

As for other bits and pieces (jap branded stuff) got most of them from www.greenline.jp

I'm close to the 10k mark already tho i did buy a complete n1 motor as that was ment to go straight in........ haha

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
