Hi guys so I have a r34 gtt, it's my 4th skyline and want to do things a little different. I want to push around the 400kw mark. Plan was to go e85, have all supporting mods, head work lifters, springs, cams etc. I'm confused on what turbo to get a precision turbo or Garrett gtx or gtw. For cams I was thinking on getting 272 with a 9mm lift? Just some suggestions and ideas would be much appreciated or if anyone else is making this power range what did you use?

 

Cheers [emoji1417]

Why confused?  Use the most modern turbo available.  That would be either a GTW or an EFR.  Lot's of happy EFR campers on here nowadays.

You don't need long duration cams for 400rwkW on E85.  You could do it with stock cams.  So reconsider.  The smart money is on using non-Jap cams.....like Camtech et al.  You should do some searching on here for all the myriad posts on these topics.

So you want 400kw and to have a heap of head work and supporting mods or you just want 400kw?

You can pretty easily easily make almost 400kw with zero headwork (with the possible exception of valve springs) and just basic mods (fuel pump/injectors/FMIC/ECU) using E85

I pushed 431rwkws out of stock cams. Anything bigger then that you can use Tomei Pon cams, car lost 300rpm of response after cam install, managed 490rwkws.

Reason I wanted head work so it's safe 400kw+ and to freshen it up I guess also to have the lumpiness of the cams. Maybe something like a gtw388r or a gtx3582r gen 1 or 2 even a Precision 6062 or 6266?

Had a atr45 journal bearing on my previous skyline made 300kw safe great turbos but want something different for the new car.

Would 2000cc be good?

So the car has stock internals and just bolt ons and made that power? Great figures and looks stock!! Haha

Yes, stock internals, factory cams, just bolton mods, customers car. The neo motors are very solid. The highest figures I've seen using the same turbo stock engine was 421rwkws on 26psi. that engine run fine till rebuilt a year later.

What size are the compressor/ turbine wheels on that turbo?

Sell car, buy someone's finished project (i.e mine) etc etc.

If you want to pay more money than you have to, I'd be saying go get a the new Garrett G25 range and make that work. If the claims are to be believed that's probably the best way forward.

If it 'only' makes 350kw it's going to be a far better car than 400kw on a 2.5 for many, many, many reasons for 99% of street driving.

I have a set of 1400cc delphi stainless steel injectors I got through scotty nm35 on here, which have served me well with no dramas whatsoever over many years. They will more than support the power you are after if the 2000-2200's as above are no good, they are definitely overkill in any case as I had no problems in the past pushing what must have been 460+kw

Would give you a good start! Turbo is like new as has only done a handful of laps since a new fresh rebuild. Responsive and could make 400kw if you really want to ring its neck! Best i saw was 392kw out of one but was responsive and fast!

2000cc or 2200cc injectors are junk, avoid! They're cheap for a reason because suppliers are overstocked on useless CNG injectors.



Ohh okay I thought that size just so I don't max them out, so what size do you reckon I should use? 400kw is the aim but if I get more with what setup I do obv I will be happy even with a 450kw.

Precisions have mostly fallen out of favor recently. They haven't gone backwards or anything but it looks like they never really got adopted. Seem to be pretty popular with the drag crowd. "Too much lag" and "400kw" and "RWD" aren't compatible (imo) with "Stock engine".

GTX3071 if you must go Garrett, but be creative and think G25-660 if you want your wallet to bleed the cost of buying a new setup.

On a 6 cylinder on 98, the rough rule of thumb is that you need 1cc of injector (per cylinder) for each engine HP.  So a 600HP engine is going to use about 600cc injectors.  E85 uses at least 30% more fuel.  So with a little arithmetic you can work out that your injectors need to be in the region of 1000cc.  So if you want some spare capacity, then you're looking for slightly bigger than that.

What is not taken into consideration in the above though, is fuel pressure.  You can get away with a little less injector if your pump can maintain the right pressure at high loads. 1000cc can work properly at the power levels you're talking about.

Tbh I was thinking gtx3582r gen 1 or 2. Heard good things about them and they sound amazing.

For injectors I will get something between 1000cc and 1600cc then? Just so if I do decide to push more power I don't have to change my injectors again and spend more money that's why I was thinking bigger.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
