Any reasons i wouldnt be able to. I.e. Afr's?

What turbo you running? Is the motor built with cams etc? Thats a good power at 15psi! My car has 270rwkw with bout 21psi on a stock motor with a GTX3071 if your fuel system is up to it 20 psi is no drama!

Put it this way mate my car has 850cc injectors and tomei 276Lpm pump and my boost spiked up to 26.6psi in 3rd gear with plenty of revs and throttle and the motor didnt make a sound it shouldnt of!:thumbsup:

But obviously i wouldnt recommend it on a stock motor! But alot of blokes in here run 20psi on stockas reliably if ya motor is relatively healthy and you dont abuse it too often :whistling:

No ideaonthe turbo but according to previous owner was biggest highflow. Done by ATS

Stock internals as far as i know, no cams or camgears, fuel systemis easly up to it.

Not sure whats good for that turbo but mabye look at a retune orgionaly this car made 236rwkw on 16psi from turbo tune, then jeff gave it a real tune.

SWEET! Well wind the boost up mate and put her back on the rollers! haha :banana:

Wow thats a big increase from a re tune! Good luck with it mate :thumbsup:

ATS, would be GT30 internals in a factory t3 housing machined to fit. Most power you will get out of it is 270-280kw before its out of its range and starts surging or going hyper (aka, spinning n making more boost with no power increase, much like a non actuated turbo) The factory front housing doesnt like boost over 18psi, have seen em crack before but then again have seen em running on 20+ with no problem. Either way i wouldnt push it, if its still healthy, get rid of it and upgrade to something that will handle the power you want with ease.

my 2c

18psi from an ATS highflow would just be starting to reach the happy zone. I have an ATS "highflow" of sorts, with a GT3076R ball bearing internal wastegate core - front is a stock compressor cover ported out to the extreme, rear exhaust housing is a .73ar AVO unit for the 6-bolt skyline style.

Bill Keen from ATS builds his turbos to take up to around 22psi comfortably, 18psi would be nice and sweet for an unopened motor.

Make sure your fueling is ok, same with cooling. But with 270rwkw currently Id say that probably isnt an issue. At 18psi you could expect 280rwkw, at 20psi perhaps up to 300rwkw.

I use and recommend Bootworx, however Willal Racing is a SAU:SA club sponsor and Martin Donnan would have to be the best tuner in the state.

sorry to burst your kw bubble but i would almost certainly put money on it that 270kw was a happy dyno

Bill rates that high flow to 270,

first thing first go see Martin at >>Willall Racing<< and get a power run and advice on if he can improve the tune or extract more boost

Hey I'm with you

rb25 15psi for 270 is high

Run it on the mainline dyno @ Willal for a more realistic readout

As Steve said. Best thing to do would be to take it to Willall. Get them to do a power run and then look into getting more boost, better tune and see what it spits out. 270rwkw on 15psi would certainly not be coming out of a highflow.

Cheers for the imput guys. Il give willall racing a ring next few days n see how much it is.

Yea even i figured it was a bit much non the less put a massive smile on my face on boost ;)

Just a quick thing the highflow was 2700. Wouldnt it have been better to just get a 3076r or something? I know for the whole stock look its good but this thing is clearly defectable catch can, bov all that crap

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
