I would go an SS2 using the OP6 rear housing.

Later you can easily change to a .82 type B housing if you need more top end :thumbsup:

The SS2 in .63 rear or a SS2 OP6 high flow seems to be working well with auto trans. This is my very first SS2, it was sold to an auto owner and tuned last year. The car made a responsive 259rwkws peeking 18psi of boost. I'm not sure if the transmission has been worked. R34's select speed auto has pretty long gear ratios, setups felt abit laggy on a manual is pretty laggy on the auto. The SS2 in .63 / OP6 highflow or the SS1PU is probably the top choice for a internal gate bolton for your goal.

I will be around through out xmas period, come pass for abit of test drive or have chat when you free.

SS2 .63 Auto, Pump 98

Thanks for jumping in Stao, and sorry about the slow reply! Good information there, cheers.

Quick question on the turbos, given the power goal what's the difference between an SS2 highflow and a comparable ATR bolt-on turbo? I'd be chasing responsiveness rather than massive peak power. Pricewise they seem roughly on par, is that right?

auto will need shiftkit and a billet second gear servo, that might be enough to get it to hold without a full rebuild, but

that would be the bare essentials you would have to do

whats a shift kit for R34 worth? I've also got a Auto 4 door undecided at moment.

Ok, I'll have to have a proper think about this now... A recent quote from MV lists stage 2 shift kit at just under $400 (valve body only) plus just under $300 for the billet 2nd gear servo. Factor in labour and it starts adding up.

A complete rebuild - without the shift kit - is $3-3.5k from what I know. Then if you want high stall it's additional cost again. So it looks like if you want to strengthen the auto to handle the 250-280rwkw, you can have a manual conversion for the same money or even a touch less - does this sound right??

Keep auto's strength in mind, mine shat itself 2000kms into having 260rwkw. Box had 140,000 on it and low oil though..

I was going to get a c4 built to handle massive power, but at 5k plus stally, manual was the best option

If you have a R33..its a difference box to R34 that the post starter has...

Mv's billet servo and shiftkit fitted is $900. I hate turbo manual cars, unless you circuit race or blast through the hills,

i think they suck , i much prefer my seemless delivery of torque that only auto turbo cars with a converter have...

so i never think in manual conversion terms, you have to work it out for yourself..

Umm my quote for these was $700 for parts only, delivered, plus $100 core change fee that will be refunded.

I thought you have to drop the whole trans to install, just $200 at a trans shop sounds like a great deal?

Fair point about manual vs. auto with forced induction, I do like the power delivery with the Tiptronic and it's only ~200rwkw at the moment...

The car is an R34 GTT with basic upgrades: FMIC, full 3" turbo back, high flow cat, TurboTech V2 manual boost controller and Nistune. It's currently pushing just shy of 200 rwkw.

I'd be aiming for a reliable 250-280 rwkw in the next stage, preferably without too much lag.

...

Also I assume the basic supporting mods are a Z32 AFM, 040 fuel pump and injectors (what size?). What else is needed?

...

Ok I am slowly putting together a shopping list, which currently looks like this:

  • $1470 - HyperGear ATR43-SS1PU OR SS2 Turbocharger (Nissan Rb25det OEM upgrade)
  • $88 - Braided oil feeding line - HyperGear
  • $671 - DeatschWerks Fuel Injector Set 600cc OR 850cc (Nissan RB25DET NEO 98-02) - GCG
  • $210 - Bosch 040 High Capacity Fuel Pump - Just Jap
  • $299 - Genuine Bosch Z32 Air Flow Meter - Just Jap
  • $99 - JJR Silicone Induction Pipe (Nissan Skyline ECR33/ER34)
  • $10 - JJR Stainless Mesh Air Filter - Universal
  • $1,000+? - Fit and (re)tune

So about 4k all up, ouch :/

Couple of questions:

  1. Intake: Is the JJR Silicone Induction Pipe good enough for a 280rwkw application? If not, where would I get a direct fit metal intake pipe that doesn't need a lot of hacking to install on an R34 GTT?
  2. Airbox: Could I still run the stock airbox + snorkel + K&N panel filter or is it too restrictive? I'm not a big fan of a pod filter if I can avoid it.
  3. Injectors: What kind of power range do 600cc/850cc ones support? Is there such a thing as 'too big' injectors? I'm not planning on running E85.

Thanks!

Not likely if they are fitting all of that and doing a tune?

Go 850 CC Injectors I have 660's and I am close to topping out with my config at 281RWKW running a Hypergear SS1PU

Get a metal intake pipe, the silicone ones tend to suck in @ big boost levels.

Full 3" turbo back exhaust, 2.5" is going to be hella restrictive (you would already be making more power if it was larger)

Coil packs (Splitfire or Yellow Jacket)

Hypergear SS1PU is perfect for this application, It spools like factory and is able to do big boost.

First rule of forced induction, More flow in + More flow out = More power.

If you don't upgrade that exhaust your tuner will only be able to pull a tiny bit more power safely, Put a 3" bellmouth JJR dump on it, a race cat and a 3" cat back system (can get decent cat back systems 2nd hand for cheap) and it will make a massive difference.

Are you in qld?? I'm really interested in all projects building and squeezing power out of neo motors.

I have one for example high boost o be set yet but I'm making 336kw 15.5 pound but mine is built

Awesome, thanks guys!!

Ok so it sounds like the 850cc injectors are a better bet to have some headroom in the future. I assume there's no difference in fuel consumption between 600cc and 850cc if tuned correctly?

With the metal intake pipe, without going all custom I can't find anything except for the CAPP53 here ($135). However, they say that "You will need a smaller aftermarket pod filter and BOV though" on a GTT, really? Not keen on changing the bov if I can help it.

1.5k fitted and tuned, ok... I could do the intake stuff myself but not so keen on touching the fuel system or turbo so I better pay someone who know's what they're doing.

Great summary, thanks! Where did you get your intake pipe from? Are you running a pod or the original airbox?

Re supporting mods, the exhaust is a 3" HKS Super Drager with JJR bellmouth and a high flow cat so it should be fine (the 2.5" was a typo).

It's also got a Trust return flow cooler and Yellow Jacket coils on already.

Good to hear the supporting mods are in place.

I had my tuner make my Turbo intake pipe, I run a pod in a CAI box with a pipe running up from the front bar to pump cold air in while driving. ^^ Darren (Jet_r31) just made a recommendation for someone who makes them who may be local for you.

I run a HKS SSQ BoV and have no probs, Larger filter means more surface area to suck in air.

The fuel consumption should be the same with a proper tune as they are just capable of flowing more fuel, If set correctly that should only occur at High RPM / WOT.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
