Hey team

Posted intro on newbie area but start off with my background anyway. It all started at 17 with my first skyline, albeit a mighty gte lol had always been a huge fan of four door 32s so started with a car the parents didnt think I could stack. 5 years of thrashing later finally got the funds to slap running gear in from a s2 r33 gts25t...... stolen and found stripped a week later, dirty little welfare bludging grommets. Here we are 5 years on from that point and finally got another 32. This time started with something a bit more respectable, obviously a 4dr32 again but this time packing full gtr running gear. Also got lucky in the fact someone had gone to the trouble of rebuilding turbs (n1) and dropping in some 555 injectors, wolf computer and other bits nd pieces. Car is chucking out 370 rwhp which was warp speed quick for a couple of months but is now mind numbingly boring a year on. Guess iv got the bug as im sure everyone else here does, so now I find myself on the build page.

Plans at the mo are pretty modest as cant really afford to crack open the old girl. So for now bolt on bits only

2860-9's

Tomei cam gears

Apexi avcr

New dumps, front pipe and 3.5 exhaust

(Want tomei but looking at xforce due to cost thoughts?)

ID1000's

Oil cooler and filter relo kit

Also doing some non performance upgrades with before and after pics to come. Looking for max response and about

315-330 awkw. thoughts, tips or anything needed/missed pics 2m

Nice build, looks great on the GTR wheels!

Is the engine early R32? If so has the crank collar been done?

Wouldn't want the pump to go after you get it all running!

As for the exhaust I my 2c is get an equal length front pipe like Mine's or similar.

Will make the exhaust note much nicer, regardless of what catback exhaust you have.

Another quick mod is the twin turbo divider plate, this should unlock a few kilowatts and reduce shuffle.

What year is the motor? I think the narrow drive was 89-91 and they fixed it in 92 and later.

Picture below - Look at the difference in size of the flat face which drives the oil pump gear.

You can see on the narrow one there is only a few square millimeters that actually drive the pump!

Doing an oil pump at the same time as belts, tensioner is a great idea, but I would highly NOT recommend an N1 oil pump. If anything it is weaker than stock!

If you have the narrow oil pump drive (as above) you will need to drop the motor to get the crank out and get the collar replaced by an engine builder.

If you do that you might as well get everything balanced at the same time, this will also help protect the oil pump gears.

As for which pump you should get. At the very least I would get a Nismo (not N1) oil pump. But to be safe I would recommend Nitto, new style Greddy pump, or arguably the best, Tomei.

It all really comes to how bulletproof do you want your motor to be. Do you want to replace the pump and belts now but pull the motor again in 6 months because the balance was off?

Or do you want to have a bit more expense now but have a motor that you know will last for a number of years?

So still havent finished but as with any project with a 26 in dont think i ever will be. Will be changing turbos next year and am looking forward to the extra power. Since last post car has been given new fuel system including 1000cc injectors and e85 safe pump along with flex fuel sensor. Has new adaptronic ecu with splitfire coil packs. 3.5 catback and 3.5 cat delete. Will do dump/front when i decide which turbo/turbos to use. Was wanting to go -5s but am seriously considering the gtx3582 with twin entry mid mount 6boost manifold any thoughts?

      Boost level and torque curve

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.

      Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
