Ok Ive got an R33 GTST with an RB26DETT transplant. The motor is stock with the normal exhaust and intake upgrades and an electronic boost controller set at 12psi. (Dynoed at 225rwkw). I have stuffed a turbo and i'm in the process of deciding to replace the stock turbos or upgrade to something like some low km secondhand N1 turbos.

My questions are do i need to install a Power FC if upgrading turbos? (i assume i would???) What power could i expect if i do upgrade to N1s and a power FC???

If anyone would like to make suggestions it would be appreciated! Also if anyone has secondhand turbos for sale let me know!

Thanks guys.

A standard internals RB26 with R34 GTR N1 turbo's tuned via a Power FC with apropriate support systems and other upgrades made 332 rwkw.  I am sure there are others with better results around. :cheers:

SK;

can you tell us what the whole engine package entailed in this case, paticularly the 'support systems and other upgrades'?

Thanks

Hi guys, I will try and answer your questions in one go;

The spec was;

264 @ ~9.5 mm cams (I think they were Jun, I didn't fit them)

Adj Cam pulleys (they were definitely Jun)

Split dumps and 2.5" engine pipes (my design)

3.5" exhaust (my design)

2 X standard GTR cats (I had them)

Sard 650 cc injectors (standard ones ran out at 290 rwkw)

Nismo fuel pressure regulator (not really required, but the standard one was screwed)

Bosch 044 fuel pump in tank

Power FC with boost control kit

2 X Pipercross POD's with heat shield and large ambient air induction (my design)

2 X RB20 AFM's (I had them too)

OS Giken twin plate clutcch (with flywheel)

Greddy 600 X 300 X 100 intercooler (Nengun)

Alloy I/C pipework (my design)

Hope that answered your questions :(

    • It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!
    • Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.
    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
    • OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
