Hey guys,

I've just bought a 32 GTR >_< and am having issues with power coming on late.

Generally it starts to become pretty hectic at 6000 - 8000 RPM but after doing some forums searches on here and asking around, i have found that this is very late given the turbos i am using (R33 N1)

Car is as follows;

4" Stainless steel exhaust including X-Force turbo dump pipes with HKS front engine pipes

5" HKS Cannon muffler

Splitfire coilpacks

APEXI Power FC

HKS 660cc injectors

HKS Fuel rail kit

Nismo fuel pump

Nismo fuel pressure regulator

Trust 4" intercooler

Trust intercooler piping kit

HKS air filter kits x2

N1 R33 turbos (steel wheels)

Arias pistons

Nismo rings

Eagle rods

Block was torque plate honed for exact clearancing

Nismo oil pump

Crankshaft x-rayed and magnafluxed

Nismo main and big end bearings

tomei 2.0 mm multi plate steel head gasket with oil restrictor kit

ARP head studs

Head fully serviced, valves guides and seats replaced

Light port and polish done as head flows very well from standard

Throttle bodies and inlet plenum port matched perfectly to cylinder head

HKS cams - 265 inlet and 272 exhaust, 10mm lift

Engine has just been run in.

car is making 431hp@17psi hope to make a bit more at some point.

I've been consistantly told that it is my cam selection that is causing this, so i thought i'de ask around on here to see what you guys think.

Cheers, Mitch.

Well your cam choice isn't exactly great - factory would be better with a set of cam gears.

Do you have a graph with boost vs rpm?

R33 N1 turbos are... average. I'm surprised you've chosen them on a motor with a reasonable amount $$ behind it.

They shouldn't be "that" laggy though either way. They should be on around the 4000-4500rpm marker if im recalling results correctly.

They are basically the same response as a HKS 2530 (or Garrett -5), but without the same peak power figures possible which would be around 4000rpm for things to start.

Are the cams dialled in correctly?

What boost control are you using?

Hey R31Nismoid,

Thank's for the speedy reply, unfortunately i don't have a Boost Vs. RPM graph.

The turbos came with the car although i do intend to change them in the future, looking for 400kw (could you suggest some perhaps?)

Currently the car does not have cam gears, and the boost is controlled by a bleed valve;although i do have an early HKS EVC that needs to be set up along with the scramble boost controller.

Cheers, Mitch.

Just hold the turbo wastegates shit - wire them.

If boost comes up earlier, then the drama lies with your boost control plain and simply.

If not then things like cam's/cam gears being dialled in etc would be the next logical thing to inspect

As for 400RWKW - Garrett -5's. PLENTY of info around, please search for the details on them.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
