I'd like to start with I'm in no way condoning street racing and simply asking for some opinions. So I'll start off with why I've made this thread. I'm trying to figure out if I have stock GTR turbos, I imported my 1991 GTR last year and was pretty much bone stock with 128,000km. It had the 100,000km done in Japan came only with Work Equips, St. May Jasma exhaust and thats it, even stock air box. The car now has 18x10 Work XD9 wheels, Tomei Titanium Exhaust and Apexi intakes. The car came with the stock boost restrictor in so I removed that also.

From what I've read a R32 GTR with exhaust, intake, boost restrictor out should make around 350 hp at the crank. I've raced multiple Subaru STI's of all years 2004, 2006, 2008 all with a cobb stage 2 kits and have beaten every one by at least 2 cars. I've raced a couple SR20s from a roll and it's also not even close. But recently I raced a friend with a 1998 BMW M3 with a stage 2 supercharger with dyno sheets showing 420 hp @ the crank so probably around 370 whp. From a dig it wasn't even close but from a 40 roll by 4th gear I was ahead by 2 cars and I had misfire.

So i tried to take off some pipng to see if i could find stamping on the turbos but it's damn near impossible to see anything. So i'm looking for opinions if you think there stock or upgraded. Feel free to say what cars you have raced with your basic bolt on GTR.

-> Speed off the Streets -> Wakefield or Winton

If the restrictor was still in it is a very high percentage that your Turbo's are stock.

- and with what you are doing wont be long before they blow the ceramic wheel off and/or you do a big end bearing)

Your first engine rebuild seems not too far away !

I see I've attracted some trolls. Sorry for being so basic but company's do offer "stages" although I probably shouldn't feed you, I clearly stated he has dyno sheets of his car and these numbers are not made up. Putting all that behind us it has a Active Autowerkes Stage 2 Supercharger kit(Rotrex C38-81 Supercharger)

I had a 99 E36 M3 evo manual with 255rwhp (catback, flash tune) and mate had a 33GTR with 246awhp - 14psi untuned, catback and intake.

GTR pulled on M3 by a little bit. On track of course...

Your mate with the supercharged M3 can't drive or is bs-ing.... Or your car is tuned at 14psi (1bar) and making 310-320rwhp.

Stock gauge reads 1 bar

I'd say stock Garrett T28 Turbo's with restrictor removed.

Iv raced many comos with 400+hp and beat them with only 370-380hp turbo power is diffrent from v8 power

The difference between those power figures (400+hp Como VS 380hp GTR) are marginal, you would have bet them due the launch of the 4WD system and the low down response of the stock turbos.

And there might have been a weight difference between the cars (generally speaking, without knowing what both car set-ups are).

OP reads like he is in the US / Canada where the dynos read higher than here as well...

GTR would have edge over the average 400+ hp Commo purely based on AWD and the fact that GT-R owners don't tend to cheap out on tyres / useless big rims. Weight wise, if it's pre VE then it's almost the same.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
