aw/rw = same shit anyway.

Not really but to certain extend yes.

There's someone I know of in Brisbane that dyno-ed his 32 GTR on rwd and awd mode the same day on the same dyno. The difference in reading is around 10kW. But the difference isnt THAT great and definately not worth the extra money for awd dyno tuning.

Thats prob why Racepace (Working on mostly GTRs) have only a rwd dyno instead of awd...makes sense...i always wondered why dont they have a awd dyno when all the GTRs are 4wd...

10kw is the same shit to me :P

Its been proven by a number of people with over 400rwkw/awkw that any differences are so negligebile its not worth splitting hairs over.

This is with a factory transfer case etc.

With a modified transfer case, its a different story but most punters are not in that category

Hi Guys,

Wanted to know that how much kW can you get on standard turbo and engine, but with below mods :

- Exhaust (Highflow)

- PowerFC

- Cam Gears

- Bleed Valve

Any idea anyone??? Car is GTR33....

Got 264.6rwkW after the above mods!!!!!

very impressed......

RPM cam gears supplied by racepace....

14psi boost and chris from racepace tuned it.....

nice....did the cam gears make much different? i am thinking of getting them too...but not sure of their exact use on the car yet...still due to researching that...lol

it makes difference.....

car accelerates and takes off faster than usual......

surely you have to get it dialed in once you fit it.....

ask chris at racepace....he'll let you know.....

thought it did make difference in response....but when i am rebuilding my engine to hold more power ill be putting the HKS variable cam in which come with cam gears too i think...so thats when i am planning to put them in...but still need to look around for the best combo i can use to make my baby "fly"...lol.. :P

You do know that HKS V-Cam is $5000 on its own, just for the variable timing.

Thats not including the 8-10k for the rebuild and all the rest :woot:

HAHAHA!!! YUP :P itll be done one day...if i get hands on a blown up RB engine to practise on..i might do it myself with my machanics guidance otherwise i am planning to spend around the 20k mark on the engine for my car to pull SAFE 400+awkw...might even make it a bigger block..but will do as my machanic instructs...then work on suspension and make is a nice quick track car..(my dream) :P

There was a test done with VCAM on/off lap times, didnt make much of a difference. But the test car already put out 650HP irregardless, so i guess the argument to have one is marginal

Yes i did watch that video when i was researching about the combo of mods i should do on the car...but the guy who tested it and the comparision video did show a VERY quick response time and the engine was able to rev much quickly with the Vcam on...thats why i am PLANNING to get that done too...but its still in the planning mode...when the time comes for me to do it, new things might arrive that might interest me...lol..

Try it on a different Dyno and you might get the same result, i wouldn't worry about that 20 odd kw differ.

+1...all dyno does give out different readings..so gives more others give less...if the difference is around 20 kw...its more likely both the cars are pretty equal in power...

and peak rwkw is a single figure at any one time

it hardly explains the cars acceleration and how it performs on the street

if johnny where you said it makes 232rwkw and the other makes 264kw

it could be dyno differences, how it is strapped down, air temp correction etc

as long as it feels quicker on the street its all good

the only comparison that is useful is your same car on the same dyno each time

when you do mods, you check before and after, as long as the power goes up, all good

its only if you add mods and get no gain then you need to check it

id perfer to make less rwkw (vs higher for bragging rights) and have quicker times

:) +1...spot on...numbers mean nothing as long as you can get the times better...and its only 20 odd kw diff...so nothing really to stress about...

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
