This is my car, the question marks are things i'm not certain about because my mechanic has organised it not me.

Car: 1993 R33 GTS-t

Under the hood:

Engine: RB30det (RB30/25)

Internals: RB30 polished and balanced crank, Eagle Rods, HKS? pistons, Tomei Cams with adjustable cam gears, RB25 port and polished head, ? valve springs, Trust GReddy Plenum, ? Metal Gasket, Custom extractors and exhaust manifold. See through timing belt cover, N1 oil pump, and nismo water pump.

Induction: GT35/40 roller bearing turbine, with custom blade angles to spool up at 3000rpm, nürburg spec intercooler, Internal wastegate ?mm, custom airbox and pod filter to look as stock.

Fuel System: 1000cc injectors, GReddy fuel Rail, surge tank, Bosch fuel pump, braided lines, splitfire coil packs.

Management: Apexi power FC with hand controller.

Exhaust: 3.5 inch straight through and 9.5? inch cannon.

Gearbox: Rebuilt RB25 gearbox with strengthened 1st and 2nd gears.

Clutch: Exeedy twin plate with push button.

Diff: R200 2 way diff?

Brakes: R33 GTR calliper kit with drilled and slotted rotors.

Suspension:?

Wheels: 19x8.5 inch decorsa all round, running michilin sports pilot.

Performance estimate: 410rwkw, 900Nm, power to weight of 0.304kw/kg.

Now i've aimed for 400+rwkw, with the above modifications, should this be attainable, and if not, what should i look at doing.

The head has stage 1 cams and will be able to rev to 8,500rpm with the oil pump, water pump and nitrated crank.

the gt35/40 i heard is perfect for the engine, and the early spool should make it pretty awesome, i've read about a r31 called hypogt getting 480rwkw bt he had a 45mm external wastegate and smaller injectors, will the limitation of the internal wastegate, be an Achilles heal? I'm trying to make this look stock, so as far as a cop is concerned my mods will be exhaust and intake plenum.

the turbo will be low mount and in a bag and the pod filter in a box that looks like standard so this should pass the canary cops.

I am unsure what to think as i am a first year mechanic apprentice and many class members have said i'll be lucky to get 350rwkw, have they underestimated the RB30det or have i over estimated?

Just wondering, if at all, you thought to take a read of the 400rwkw/GT35 thread already created in this section, that was the top post...

It answers pretty much all your questions which are well, the same. Please have a read of it. Especially the part about the exhaust size.

IMO you wont make 400rwkw internal gate.

Two other points.

1. 480rwkw through a GT35 - Not a chance. Even on C16 I'm dubious. It would have to be modified.

2. Being you are from Vic - i give you my word, if you are pulled over, you will not pass.

I was defected for a low mounted GT30, this was 5 years ago. Knowledge has spread far wider. This was factory everything else mostly.

You on the other hand have every other cop/EPA magnet parts - fuel rails, braided lines, and exhaust that is going to be so loud you'll be heard a block away.

If you think exhaust/plenum are the only "catch points" You are going to be in for a rude awakening.

Police are not as "dumb' as they were 6-7 years ago, I've noticed first hand a steady increase in awareness of all things modification.

If you get EPA'd, actually, don't even think about it... it's unspeakable badness for you.

If you want a legal 400rwkw - there are much better ways to do it and be MUCH more stealth, almost to the point of appearing 100% factory :)

question isn't the legality issue, i have a few tricks for making it appear stock for that, the problem is, with my build am i dreaming to think i can get 410rwkw with a low mount internal wastegate setup like the 1 i listed, i read that post and got the rest of the info, i just want to know if it's possible, could i get more, or will i ultimately get less like my fellow apprentices believe.

Well it around 650-700hp, so 350rwkw, perhaps a bit more.

Its really dependent on when the back pressure becomes a problem, you could look into having the rear ported a bit, dunno how much gain you'll see there though.

IMO put a 26/30 in there, -5's, look 100% factory/400rwkw/easily engineered.

so how much is attainable with an internal wastegate?

Hey Hakon, where u from? Judging by your name it sounds like you're Norwegian, in that case you've got a neighbour here from Swede, building a RB30/26 :D

Good luck with the project!

Cheers!

    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
