Eat26 Mnp R33 Gtrvspec

[EAT26]

Well seeing as I am now in the actual part of building the car... after the basic stuff... I thought I would put her in this build up.

It is a 1995 MNP R33 GTR Vspec.

I originally bought the car at 67,000kms..

I started out with a fairly basic starting point for a GTR.

I first started with the fuel reg and put a new boost controller in, then a clutch and new set of rims..

I had to replace the AVS Model 5s due to the previous owner destroying them.

At the end of 2010 I put the car up for sale with sales falling through I decided to keep the car and mod it further....

I added a power fc and tune to start... I made 305Awhp

Shortly after that the want for more power kicked in.

I then went and saw my first mechanics and got the following installed.

2860r-5 turbos

Tomei dumps

Nismo Fuel Pump

Nismo 600cc Injectors

HKS Hard piping

Cooling pro 600x300x100 intercooler

100cell 3" cat

As I wasn't happy with the tune, I went and saw my good friends at EFI

With just a retune on the same psi it pull 437rwhp

After seeing the results I was very happy, however was shocked when Sean asked if I wanted to up the boost.. My response was sure if you think its safe go nuts.

The car drove excellent, and was still getting good economy as at this point the car was my daily...

Shortly after the power being upped my clutch was not up to the job so that had to be replaced.

So I ordered a NPC Big Mouth Track after consulting with a couple mates.

Sadly a week after getting the clutch died, power surged the power fc and killed it due to a AFM arching out onto the power fluid reservoir.

So a new brain was needed.

After going over all the facts and figures I decided to go with a Wolf V500.

Since I wanted a little more mid-range Sean tuned it to the following.

I have also replaced the rims again with Enkei Rpf1s. 18x10.5+15

Current plans for the GTR are... Car is currently sitting with Dan from Elite Racing Developments for a build.

ERD prepped and blueprinted engine inc

ROSS Racing pistons

Spool H Beam connecting rods

ACL Race series bearings

ERD RB26 VCT Setup

Commetic full metal gasket set

ROSS Tuffbond harmonic balancer

JUN RB26 Oil pump

Supertech Double valve springs

Gates Racing timing belt

ERD Oil restrictors

-5s with VCT MMMMmmmmm

[N1GTR]

5's and VCT - this will be a wild ride

5's and VCT - this will be a wild ride

I am certainly looking forward to it.

dans a legend, this looks awesome.

Can't wait to see how they do the cam timing

[adamskill]

mate do you have any more info on why the 2 tunes were so extremely different?

i have heard really good things about both mercury and EFI.

how did the mercury tune drive compared to the EFI?

cheers adam

He has helped me out alot in the past.

Yeah, Naturally I do not know a whole much about it, not VERY mechanical minded but I do know its Different to the V-Cam set up.

I do, Im not really going to go into it.

Mercury have done their dash with me, I wont be going back HOWEVER. I have known cars to get good results.

Sean from EFI is my ONLY tuner from now on tho for obvious reasons.

Haha you saw straight through him Have always been a fan of MNP 33's looking forward to the end result.

[Force Fed]

the VCT setup they put in isnt that much different to VCam, it's just a dickload cheaper.

to EFI + ERD though

LS conversion?

Sounds good

[EAT26]

LS conversion?

Sounds good

Do I have to tell you to stop trolling as well? LOL... mind you a LS AWD GTR would be AWESOME! Balls and grip pitty the bonnets won't clear much like the 32s with a ls1 will clear the cross member.

So far the plans are to stay as are however Dan's hunch may be to forced to go stroker due to the oil issues.

[EAT26]

Engine is half stripped down after this photo, still no reason why there is a oil pressure loss but Dan did find some metal shavings in the sump.

[EAT26]

So my first piston is a bit gone.... lol. hahaha

[ordinary]

Low oil pressure is now fully understandable!!! Poor stock pistons were putting out over 450whp so they've had a hard life!!!

PS - same wheels as meeeeeeee

[ordinary]

PPS - are you going to do some track days with the new engine? Might wanna do brakes too - Ksport 356mm 8pot brake kit is under $2k from UK with EBC Blue pads and they work a bloody treat!!! You know you wanna do it
