So on the weekend was cruising along until a c63 amg wanted to line me up at the lights so i thought why not. im running stock motor with the following

HKS PODS

HKS EVC

3INCH EXHAUST TURBO BACK

DC COILOVERS

The car had burning oil issues recently so i was topping it up every couple of weeks.

so we went off on the lights i was running .9bar at the time so like 12-14psi stock.

i let of the throttle on 2nd gear because i heard the clacking noise.

i pulled over and that was it popped the bonnet and you could hear this bearing knock from across the road.

had full oil and still perfect oil pressure so wondered what the f*ck happened.

towed the car home ($300) later lol

now the motor will come out and i made a promise to myself that i will build the motor for it TO NEVER MAKE THAT F*CKING NOISE AGAIN

so the motor is being pulled out by my brother and i becasue we are both fully qualified mechanics.

any suggestions as to what ill be needing in this block so it will not happen again i do not want crazy hp im looking at 300kws but a safe 300kws that will not break lol i want room to breathe really. i will be uploading photos of the build and all.

so any suggestions whats the best way to go at this as im a supra 2j man and owned them for years but the gtr is just so classy :)

      I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them

      For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.

      Yes, multi relays needed, and possibly a diode. I'm not actually going to think about it though.

      So I'm confident in saying its TCS thing. My new cluster I never realized didn't even have bulbs in the TCS or Slip slots. Shining a light through the backside that black plate has nothing for it, unlike my original cluster. Looking at the service manual the only thing that stands out is TCS in relation to the vehicle speed, it has nothing to do with turbos. It sadly looks like I may just need to get the appropriate cluster.
