is that your car in a protek?

im hopping for 380awkw with my setup an -5's if that is you car in protek have a look at mine in there white r33 gtr give you an idea

Question: Was that not with the 0.86 A/R rear housings?

Nope.

HKS 2530's have done virtually the same power in a number of cars as well, being the turbos are same/similar/close enough, its easily plausible on a motor that is built right.

Most punters/motors however, 380-400rwkw. Takes something special to get much more

Presently at 570 rwhp (425 rwkw). HKS2.8L, 272 Step 2 cams, oversize valves, heaps of head porting and around 1.8 bar of boost on my dash 5's.

On 98 pump fuel that's about the limit of what you can expect from these terbs. (Hell responsive 'tho! :D)

Shiitt thats like 27-28psi and those turbos can handle that healthly???? everyday drive ??

It's probably at (or past) the upper limit of the efficiency of these turbos.

Engine in this configuation would be no problems for a daily driver as there is plenty or torque. In fact around town I'm lazy and normally only use 1st, 3rd and 5th gears. I have shorter GTS4 diff centers, however, so that makes a difference also.

what part of the turbo do you think is going to break from using more boost?

Sorry not brake but comparing to life of the engine, is there much diff in using less boost or high boost if u have strengthend internals that is

Not really - if it build right.

However, my guess is your motor probably wont be going to such extremes unless you are spending some very serious cash.

Gav's motor isn't a cheap one, lots of work, effort and parts to get it to that level.

Most 'builds' around the 10-12k marker wont come close to a 2.8 stroker, bigger valves, head work and everything else.

very nice... yeh well im up around 14k with tune and build lol Thats NOT with the internals still internals need to be done but then thats it.Another 6k and i should be happy BUt im not going to stroke it.. i wonder how much max healthy boost i can give it with out the stroker kit

    • There's more than one way to skin that cat, and most of the sump Maatouks have done will be GTR sumps. They are HUGE in GTR drag racing here.
    • Yeah...I always start at the shift solenoids, because there's only a few reasons these will spook into limp mode, and bad shift solenoids is one ~ the other can be the shift control module (if you have steering wheel shift buttons)...it's easier to eliminate the solenoids first.
    • Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅  
    • Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.
    • That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
