Just want to know what WHP numbers I should expect or can acheive with my build (r32 GTR).. Here's the list of what my build will have:

Completely torn down and cleaned block

ACL race bearing (conrod,main,big end)

ARP bolts (conrod,main,big end)

Crank Collar for oil drive clearence issue machined onto stock crank

Stock pistons/rings and rods

ARP head studs

stock head (cleaned and minor port/polish)

Tomei poncams type b

GT2860-5's turbos

Tomei Manifolds

Tomei dumps

Nismo downpipe with veilside catback (deleted cat)

N1 oil pump

N1 water pump

Tomie timing belt

New OEM tensioner/spring

Complete gasket kit

750cc injectors

280lph fuel pump (not sure what company yet)

Power fc d-jetro with MAP sensors

After market I/C (not sure what make)

HKS oil relocation + oil cooler

HKS hard pipe kit

Split fire coil pack

Nismo coppermix twin plate clutch

Hope I haven't missed anything. I would like to know what are my options in WHP, meaning reliable whp, max whp, etc.

Thanks!

Your best answers will be in the rb26 dyno results thread. It will give a good, clear indication of what the -5's are capable of. To use the search function properly..

Go in to the thread.

In the top right hand of your screen, you'll see the search box.

Type in "garret 5". Make sure the option for 'this forum' is selected.

Ta da! You just searched for your answers :)

Short answer... There isnt a single, cut to size answer for you.

^^^rods would be fine with -5's, but pistions & ati/ross balance and a full balance would be good investment.

Also do a bit of research on the n1 oil pump - Some people have had trouble with them, some haven't - just enusre you know the limitations of the rb oil pump deisgn and why they fail before selecting one (personaly, i recommand nitto - they pump everything from oil to crank casing :-))

Some varible cam gears would also be a good investment.

Edit: saw you had poncams down - good choice :banana:

the reason why I didn't go with complete forged internals, etc was because I wasn't originally planning on doing a build lol. I bought the upgraded turbos but at the same time the engine was making a strange knocking sound so I decided to try to find the issue before going with better turbo's. Turns out that everything was in good order throughout the engine so I just decided, with the budget I somewhat had, to change things that needed to be changed while the engine was in pieces. I was told by my machine shop that the pistons and rods are in great shape so they only honed and cleaned everything. So new rings and bearings/bolts are changing in the bottom end. I wish I could have completely redone the bottom end and head but its not my time right now :( As for the oil pump, I already have the N1 waiting to be put in but I purchased a crank collar to be certain the clearances between the crank and the oil pump aren't too loose. Fuel pump isn't ordered yet so i'll look for a 350lph pump, any suggestions on makes? Also, does anyone on here have access to FAST, spent a good portion of my day trying to find what year my block is to see if the crank issue was resolved in my block. engine block number is 034837A.

Honestly given pistons are less than $1400, and all you need is a decent set of rod bolts... You are mad if you don't spend that little bit extra.

You'd likely never need to strip it down later to build it further. Just take the head off if/when and tidy it up later on and you are good to go!

Decided to go ahead a purchase some CP forged pistons. I'm kinda stuck on the fuel pump though. I have done alot of searching and research and it seems to me that with the injectors I have and the boost I'll be hitting, a 300lph fuel pump will be enough for me. I've found an apexi fuel pump that looks good, anyone have experience with these?

Maybe look into Nismo pump? Im fairly certain a few of the guys chasing power (400kw+) on here use one? Tried and proven bosch items are always an option..

Or the german one produced for Merc's and the like.. The name escapes me now. Starts with 'p' :/

Like stated above, nismo pumps are good. Expensive but bolt right in... Depends on who tunes it to how much power you will make.

Some people make 400rwkw plus, on mine I only managed 375rwkw and that was with full volts..

Talk to your tuner, he will know what pumps work for what power

Decided to go with the Bosch 044 fuel pump with appropriate fittings, my buddy who is helping me with this project and has also completely rebuilt his gtr recommeneded me it. Also, picked up a Reimax gear set for the oil pump which should solve the N1 oil pump problem. Hope I have everything ready to go as I hate waiting on parts when things could be put back into the car (kinda impatient lol). Does anyone know how to figure out what year the engine is? Anyone use/have FAST? block plate number is 034837A and if i'm not mistaken that seems pretty close to when nissan addressed the crank/oil drive issue, correct?

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
