Hello!

Im planning to buy a turbo kit for my R33 GTR from Powerhouse Racing

My internals are simple HKS 2.8L Stroker with bearings, ARP rods, new greddt headgasket

Will it hold för 600-700whp?

Well i was going for the T88 but on the PHR site i found 2 other turbo kits t78-t88 and a new one called TD05.

So as i said im looking for a turbo that can handle 700hp but i will probably go for 650whp or something like that.

Will my engine hold? and do i need to spend much more for a good engine?

T04Z and 2 bar of boost will get you there.

I heard thats a good turbo, Will my engine hold? I am gonna leave the engine for some inspection but i want to know what you guys say.

Thanks for the fast answer!

If the engine was properly assembled and balanced, and its tuned properly, you should have no problem sustaining the sort of power levels you are talking about provided you select the right turbo and have all the supporting fuel/cooling/oiling systems in place.

Oh nice mate, Can you put up some dyno results? You drive the car on the weekends or every day?

Will your engine hold? dont bet on it, and for how long, many have failed.

Good luck, I hope it works out.

It wont fail if you have a good tune i knew a guy wich had 600hp on stock engine he started the car a year ago and its still running, He had an awsome tuner.

Not trying to put you off but there's not much info in your threads, 2 bar, 650 to 700hp is a lot of strain and mumbo! how many kms on the engine, who built it, how much work has it done? The tune is one thing but the engine clearances, tolerances and ware is another thing on an already built engine.

The last time I had my engine inspected it involved pulling the engine out and inspecting a big end bearing, sadly they were all f#$&ed after 2000kms.

Hopefully all goes well, but asking if your engine will hold is like asking how longs a piece of stringl. Good luck!

Its the last post in the RB26 dyno results.. not a daily but more than just weekends..

as for will it last, yeah how long is a piece of string, you see some guys putting a lot through stock engines and others breaking built ones ??

you would hope if they have gone to the trouble and expense of the stroker it would be done properly..

no point living life thinking what if ..

just take it up slowly and see if anything comes up (or out) :P

22-24psi should see you around 600whp

No point living life thinking what if.. But definitley worth considering, my comments are based on the guy having made only 12 post and having asked the question more than once if the engine will last, having an already built engine (God knows who built it or what its been through), I suspect he is new to the wonderfull world of GTR's so just some words of caution.

"You see some guys putting a lot through stock engines and others breaking new ones" This is very true. (without rubbishing any engine builders)

Based on the limited information 2 bar would be risky without knowing more, maybe the straw that breaks the camels back, I've had 4 engines in my car (pisses me right off) and used to run 25psi with tomei cams, motec, 2871-10 turbos and many other goodies, these days I run 20psi, smaller turbos, std cams shafts and have never looked back. (my choice only)

22-24psi sounds more realistic, 600whp, still bloody fast.

Your results are on a hub dyno though are they not?

Well yeah im new to GTRs and the engine is Built by MGT Racing before it reached me in Sweden, I put on some GT-RS turbos and i had the car for 4 months now and run 500hp with no problem at all MGT said that the car was built to do more than that and GT-RS turbos was nothing for it, And ive had 700hp volvos before so im not new into engines and i can handle a car at 700hp.

I leave the engine for inspection tomorrow to one of Swedens best tuners/engine builders lets see what they say

Oh, i forgot to say its an N1 block :)

btw i came in to the forums this year and i barley used it you cant judge me buy looking at my posts.

yeah,, I had it tuned before on a rear wheel dyno only weeks before, and made 550rwhp , then on the awhp hub dyno only made 520awhp, on the same tune...

after retune made 710awhp ,,

was hitting boost cut on cool nights @28psi . so have pulled the boost back 1.5psi so maybe 680awhp (on a hub) what ever that is? is it a percentage less??

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
