Hi guys, planning on getting a gtr r33 (realy would like a r34 tho) that needs a full engine rebuild in the near future for a solid base, and was wondering if eny pro engine builders out there that have build gtr engines befor and knows what stuff is strong would like to recommend some solid parts that would last for years to come, iam willing to spend up to 10gz to get 500hp at the wheels including 2 new turbos?, I also want to rebuild this engine my self, I have been reading a lot but nothing gets stick to 1 bran, theres allways debates of what forge con rods are better then what bran etc, if iam picking a conrod for 500hp I would like it to survive at least 1000hp just for peace of mind, the car will be just for street dragging and daily drive,

how much fuel consumption am I looking at for a 500hp machine? could I have to 2 settings for boost, lower boost for normal driving and lower fuel consumption and higher boost for dragging?

not trying to be rude here but if your a noob like me please don't recommend products, I can google and read too, sorry,

iam also pretty sure theres only 1 awd dyno in Darwin NT, most likey would have to hire somebody from down south to fly up for a few days if they would let me rent there dyno

A few questions:

1: when u say $10k do u mean engine itself or supporting mods also?

2: building yourself will save heaps of $$$ but do u have experience?

May need to budget for errors you will make.

To put it in perspective I spent $20k on my rb25 motor (including labour) to make a safe 345rwkw @25psi not including supporting mods.

Some estimated costs for consideration:

Ecu $1500

Turbos $3k

Rods/pistons $2k

Dumps/mani $2k

Oil pump $2k

Injectors $1k

Cams/valves/springs: $1500

Boost controller: $300

Total $13ish

Prices based on your need for solid reliable parts. Obviously little things like head gasket, afm, braided lines etc not included nor fuel pump or machining costs.

If just "street dragging" (ur words not mine) n daily duties trusted brands will be fine.

CP/JE pistons, nitto/spool rods, 6 boost mani, jap brand exhaust, tomei/nitto oil pump, koya rad for stable temps.

You kind of contradict yourself in that u budget $10k but want to pick parts well above the power range your hoping to achieve ie 1000hp rods.

There will need to be sacrifices made.

I average 200/300kms a tank depending on driving style. Technically I cam watch the fuel go down if extended thrashing is involved.

Yes u can have high and low boost its called a boost controller, depending on tune will reflect fuel consumption, that said the motor is built an dthe difference will be minimal it is more how u drive the car then the differnce of 5psi between high and low.

You need to provide more info of what the car already has.

Hope u pull this off and good luck.

Also with street dragging just dont end up round a pole or worse into another car.
