i have standard rb26dett engine on gtr33 with bleed valve, power fc, adj cams, high flow 3 3/4' exhaust and just got a pair of -9's from Osaka Imports today for $1500

Just wondering what kW am i looking at once the turbo's and dump pipes are installed....

and how much without the dump pipes.....

been told that by installing dump pipes, it makes a difference....

need to know what other supporting minor mods can help to increase the power......

thanks guys :)

Your first concern should be reliability and power being well and truely second. Once all bolted together get a good tuner to sort out a reliable tune.

As for the dump pipe difference, I guess it depends which dumps you have bought - sure they can make a difference but by how much depends on how good they are.

280AwKw would be safe, look upwards of 320AwKw but less reliable, depends how the car is tuned and where the power comes on....no point having 320 when your power is upward of 8000rpm for eg. 280-290 would be suffice with the set up and parts you have.

I definately agree with Ant97GTR though, there is a big difference in making big power and making it and still keeping the reliability, take to a tuner who knows these cars inside out!

Where did you take yours to?

Many people told me that with the -9 on stock motor will be around 280 to 300 kW

I wonder how urs made 300+!!!

very concern and will like to know if you did anything else to yours....

Mine had a built engine, head work, cams, cam gears, 4" exh from front pipe back.

I have seen same setups making 290, friend of mine in his R32 GTR is making 328 with more boost, was tuned from a place in NSW just before he bought it, so i would say a little more boost and head work makes the difference.

Simon from NT Performance Turbocharging in Footscray, they had built some pretty serious GTR's and GTS-T's thats why i took mine there, if your keen i can pass their number on and you can have a chat to them about what was done.

I dare say that yours with head work perhaps a slightly bigger exhaust would make more

      I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing

      I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.

      Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

      Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
