ATM the exhaust is just cat back how big would you go the whole way through?

What's the diametre size of your car back?

If it's a 3", then go 3", if it's a 3.5" go 3.5" etc...

​Keep it consistent.

What N1 turbos you getting?

From memory they came from factory running about 1 Bar = 14.7 Psi.

(R32 GTR Nismo & N1 / R33 GTR N1 / R34 GTR V-Spec N1 & V-Spec II N1 / V-Spec II Nur / M-Spec Nur)

You could run a tad higher 1.1 Bar = 15.9 Psi / 1.2 Bar = 17.4 Psi.

What do you recommend? I'm open minded. Honestly, I was thinkin of purchasing the Garrett equivalents as I official N1 turbos would be pricey.

I thought these cars needed a little back flow. Having the whole exhaust the same size would not promote that.

Yes, genuine N1 turbos would be pricey at the same time rare to find.

Garrett -7's would be the closest to the N1 equivalents.

I am running Garrett -7's with 15.5 Psi, which is just over 1 Bar.

Later I will run about 18 Psi = 1.2 Bar, but will get my mechanic to see what he thinks best.

Many factors are involved but you'd run what's safe for the engine / what the turbos can handle, so when you go in for a tune after the twin turbo installation, your mechanic should be able to gauge what it can run.

Not that I know of... That theory might apply to N/A cars... As you can only go so big unless it's tuned for it...

With turbocharged cars, usually the bigger the better, but 3" / 3.5" is usually the upgrade we all go for and it frees up the exhaust flow.

:)

​Just in regards to your bigger front mount intercooler, you were better off spending the money on Down and Front Pipes with a High Flow Cat.

Giving your GTR a full exhaust upgrade will benefit you more at this stage, if you just want to keep it stock-ish...

Stock GTR front mount intercooler can handle 300+ kW's.

But anyway, all for the better in the long run.

I know it'll do 400+ kW's for a fact as well ;)

I apolagize it has a 3.5 inch all the way through just had a look before with that and a bigger intercooler does that add any more hp with out a tune? Just curious cause next step is a bigger fuel pump, injectors, tune and ecu yeah?

:laugh: yes clearly, you would know!

Good and thanks for clarifying that!

So your exhaust is all good then!

Depends on what power out put you want... How many kW's you want?

Which determine if you need a bigger fuel pump / injectors / ECU / Tune or not...

I'm looking for 350 hp at the wheels..... So im guessing I need a fair bit

I'm looking for 350 hp at the wheels..... So im guessing I need a fair bit

Which is about 261 rwkW's.

You stock injectors / fuel pump / ECU can handle it.

The ECU will need a slight tweak but nothing crazy.

What ecu were you running?

Run a Nistune or an APex'i Power FC.

Id say that you will very quickly get bored of 250kw. So i would recommend a link ecu. I shouldve skipped the power fc stage and gone straight to a link

What link will you reccommend? Shouldn't get bored to quick as I'm only used to driving a vz sv6 haha

What's the highest stock whp that can be SAFELY achieved using stock components and N1 turbos?

Sent from my SC-03D

To be safe for street use, anywhere around the 300kW mark at the rear wheels.

Two friends of mine on SAU are running stock RB26's but one has Garrett -7's and the other has Garrett -9's

Both making 300rwkW's, which is about 402HP at the wheels, if you want to measure in HP.

You could push it further but it will depend on the condition of the engine.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
