hey stao, im looking to make around 300kws on my neo engine what would be my best bet to do to achieve this result?? highflow, or something else? and what sorta price am i looking at cheers

not as of yet but obviousley mods will be used in conjunction to achieve this goal, aslong as turbo is right should be straight forward on what is required to reach 300 its just a ball park figure not gona be upset if its 280

Ur running the SS1 Harey?? So assuming ur at 260rwkw, hows the response and more important, the punch-in-seat feeling in ur R34??

Yeah I am running the SS1 but I could only make 245rwkw on 98 on 20psi dropping to 18psi. The exact same turbo on Tao's car made 265rwkw but a few more psi starting at 23psi. Then I put it on E85 and made 280rwkw with even better response, its a pretty dam good street setup but if you can make 260-280rwkw with the same response with an SS1PU then sounds good to me.

Regarding intercoolers I upgraded my crappy intercooler to an ARC turnflow. It improved my response by 2-300rpm and Trent said the temps did not rise after 7+ runs and it is ready for some track work. On smaller engined turbo cars I think a responsive efficient intercooler is really important. Whereas larger engined turbo cars like XR6 turbos its not as important as an extra 1-200rpm of lag is not a big issue as long as the air is cool.

Is it a street car? I wouldn't do it.

Yep, on my only [daily] car. Maybe a couple track days a year.

Haha, you are the other voice in my head telling me not to do it. Then theres the other side saying "Nahh she'll be right, a bit of lag will be alright". Its either that or go the standard 0P6 highflow - 250'ish rwkw.

It will be slower, there is no good reason to do it. Why do you want a slow car?

Yeah I have to agree with the ATR43G3 being a bad turbo for mostly a daily driven street car. It will be annoying as you will go to accelerate to change lanes etc and you will be waiting for boost for too long. Its completely different on a track car where you will keep the turbo on song as the car will always be above 4000rpm anyway.

It is the transient response that kills it, it isn't just rpm, it is time it takes to get on boost.

It will be slower guaranteed, slower off the line, slower in traffic, slower in the hills (most of the time), faster on the track and drag strip.

yes i have been in plety and all setups react differentt weather your running same parts on a idential engine i just reacon saying 250 kw to say 280 290 that he wants is gona so called reck its street value unless its on a track its just not true

250kw is the sweet spot for a road car, you can get that with almost stock response.

This could be a debate of sorts. Many people in here recommend 270-280rwkw is as far as you wana go for a very responsive and very quick 2.5L street car. I havent been un one so cannot say, but that IS my power goal..

Yeah if you get it right, most people who go 280kw choose a turbo that can do 300+ hence why it isn't optimal, and most people that buy a turbo and expect 280 with response have issues(?) and can't get it there, eg I think it was hanaldo? who has pretty much everything spot on but still couldn't replicate staos 280 due to something not being 100%.

If you go E85 then totally different story though.

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
