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.

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.

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! :D

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

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 :);)

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:

    • Also did some work to the shed and a massive clean out of stuff. It's now got a small fab/dirty room and has helped keep shed cleaner. Built some new work benches and re organised things also got a TV out there so good having something playing while working on the cars. Got a pedestal drill and linisher off a mate that need to pick up too.  
    • First thought, have your current injectors flow tested. If they test fine, keep the diagnostics going. It's not the injectors. If the injectors are the issue, find some new or used (cleaned and flow tested) injectors.  While I really love a good excuse to get a modern ECU installed, just needing new injectors probably isn't a good enough reason to do so. 
    • A bit from column A, B and C. Mainly C   Update time, after deciding it was time to tick off a bucket list goal I finished up full time at MSR and have gotten back behind the wheel and making progress on the S15. Goal has been to drive Bathurst at an event and I have had my entry accepted for Challenge Bathurst in November. Since I don't want to go unprepared I need it running to test and get comfortable.  Been chipping away at it and started by stripping inside, getting it all cleaned and sealing some holes up. With stripping inside I removed the whole wiring loom and found a few surprises.......... its pretty butchered and shit branching and I'm not a fan of the haltech fuse boxes so it's all out and trying to come up with a plan to rewire it all either new fuse/relay box or pdm.  I haven't been happy with how I did the intercooler mounting and been wanting to tuck it up under rad support. O e issue with that is headlights will need a decent trim or get replacement covers. Took the time to mount it with some stand off's and new hardware. Stands are some m8 button bolts, washer, aluminium tube and factory radiator top mount rubbers. It's nice and solid also stiffens rad support which still requires some trimming. Bonus of factory rad mounting is used all factory hoses just need to weld a pressure cap to radiator now. Got sensor block and fuel filter mounted. Plan today is to get vac lines all sorted with push in nylon tube and design oil cooler mounting solution.  Been driving BRZ a heap and went out to Morgan Park for time attack and went pretty well for a wet day. https://youtu.be/gAlQgcQpWj4?si=kojOAOjhhX_X3AXR Getting pretty comfortable in it now and want to do a few more bits to it but restraining myself as don't need 2 race cars at the moment.   
    • @sunsetR33 There is obviously a huge culture gap here. There is nothing in place like this in Australia, where if you fit a Mines branded pipe and later replace it with a Jun branded pipe, both pipes are essentially identical - BAM - huge penalties! Where is the Mines pipe?? You can't have a Jun pipe when you said you had a Mines pipe!  Makes no sense to me. Surely makes no sense to anyone else here either.  I'm sure a lot of us would agree that our registration/engineering system is pretty stupid at times, but it's not that stupid.  *** More serious question here. If you replace a factory rubber hose with a silicone hose, is the car illegally on the road now? Does it become legal if you have certification of what brand the silicone hose is? Then would it become illegal again if you replaced that silicone hose with a difference brand of silicone hose? And then would it become legal again if you had certification of the new brand of silicone hose?  I really want to know that answer to that question. 
    • Good you making progress with this rig. Aluminium welding is painful to learn, have you got a pedal as I found it so much easier with one. If that's the AMG I think it is, you would working with Benny?
