How much power out of these mods?

[Ethan_R32]

Hi guys,

Im investing in an R32 GTR very soon.

Im just wondering if you guys can give me an estimate what power the following mods could give me:

R32 GTR

- 2 larger turbos (like HKS GT2530 or garret gt2530) not a real huge upgrade, maybe even just hi-flow the stock ones

- Larger intercooler

- Upgraded clutch

- Full exhaust

- Intake mods + CAI

- Boost controller (not set at a crazy boost though)

- Maybe larger injectors if really needed

- suspension and brake upgrades as necessary

- aftermarket engine management (power fc?)

All this with a stock head gasket, bottom end etc.

G'day Barks,

Based on a good friend of mine doing the same level of work to his '97 33 GT-R, I'd say a real world ~550+hp if set-up & tuned correctly. HKS 2530's will make more though!

To make the most of a package like you've listed (& using the 2530's) I'd add cams to your list.

Edit - You might want to add a f/pump & reg' upgrade too.

whatsisname,

Are you saying 550hp @ the motor?

[whatsisname]

Yeah mate.

The list Ethan_R33 has posted above (including the HKS2530's) has the potential to make ~550+hp (410kw) @ the flywheel.

Or ~300+kw @ the wheels.

Cams will certainly help the 2530's, & Z32 AFM's would be a good idea too!

The stock bottom end & HG will be fine as long as the tuning is set-up correctly.

I have just under 300kw's at all four, with everything suggested, as well as cams and VPC (replaces air flow metre), and that's at 18psi. There is still more power to come. I was very lucky with my car!

Gday.

Im making a Real World 280 kw @ the wheels similar mods to those Suggested.... the HKS GT25/30s are a perfect street turbo, I love mine!

Mine also has HKS Step 1 Cams and HKS 1.2mm Headgasket.

[Ethan_R32]

Hey Matt,

how are ya mate?

Yeah I was hoping for up around the 300kw at wheels, but rather that it be reliable still.

HJB, have you got the HKS GT2530's aswell?

And does anyone know if hi-flowing the stock ones will give much more difference?

[HJB]

No, I have a single HKS T51R!

[Ethan_R32]

HJB,

i tried sending u a coupls of PM's but it keeps rejecting them.

[HJB]

Sorry about that, I'll have to talk to one of the Moderators, there is nothing in my PM box, so there has got to be a problem?

[Ethan_R32]

send me a PM with your email mate.

[Jay95R33]

Andrew, how's it going? How have you been?

Gezzz, that's one hell of a car your looking at.

If you end up getting it and I'm over your way, I might have to con you into taking me for a drive...

I love that feeling of my eyes getting sucked into the back of my head

[Ethan_R32]

Jay,

Well a nice big promotion means im lashing out on a pretty stock GTR, then modding it myself:D I cant bloody wait

Yeah Ill definitely take you for a drive mate, any time.

HJB can you provide some specs on your car, im running a HKS single t45s with a 76 comp wheel out of a t51 SPL and i have 310kw at all 4 at 17psi, what sort of boost you runnin, also when does your turbo ramp up, or kick in ??? Are you internals stock, im hoping to see 500 rwhp soon-bout 360rwkw on stock internals i think it can do it, any comments or suggestions??

There still is a question over what has been done with the motor, plenty of HKS gear, basically all the mods listed above plus more, however the cat seems to restrict the power a little, so a new one is on the cards, also at only 18psi. The turbo starts to create boost at about 3000rpm, and on full song soon after, at this point you just hang on for the ride! :eek1:

Matt,

awesome mate. Ive sent you a PM, im hoping I can be home to see ya, its the missus' b'day and im the chauffer for the day
