Hey

Ive got a R32 GTR which is pritty much stock it just has a Trust 3.5inch cat back when it arrived from Japan. Running stock boost also.

I want to give it a bit more power and would like about 250kw at the wheels and the car to be reliable as it is now. I also want to keep the engine bay totally stock looking including the airbox.

What kind of mods and prices would i be looking at to get this figure ?

Would you sugest some N1/Group A turbos or aftermarket HKS ones ?

Thanks!

I have full exhaust (standard dump pipes on turbos) run 1 bar and have power FC which got me 226 kw at all 4 wheels (still have standard airbox, BOV, and intercooler), this should at least be the starting point.

The figure you require is easy to reach with injectors, different turbos and the above and you will also be able to keep engine bay looking stock!

So im guess Power FC, 1 Bar boost, injectors and turbos should get me 250awkw ?

Would N1 turbos eaither off 32/33/34 be fine for 250awkw ?

Would i need to upgrade the fuel pump ?

Exhaust, CAM Gears, 1 bar boost (and maybe a PowerFC if needed) and you'll get 250rwkw easy.

So would a set of these offer much of a performance increase when used with standard cams?

And are they hard to fit / Setup...?

Should do, may need to run more than 1 bar (from what I have heard 1.3 bar gets mentioned a lot).

I'm pretty sure N1 turbos of any series GTR will do the job as they are able to run more boost due to steel turbines, but I think the 34 n1 are the only roller / ball bearing ones.

This should result in anything from 250 to 300kw at all 4 wheels.

so wat sorta rwkw would i be expecting from a RWD rb26 setup in a silvia with twin 3inch dumppipes(twin 2n half with custom screamer pipes if i get around to makeing them) into single 3n half inch, FMIC, stock turbos 12psi, MINES ECU, and fuel pump

i know i'll find out soon enuff when i dyno it.. but is still a lil bit away

Excuse my ignorance :thumbsup:  

But what do they use to restrict boost, and how is it removed...?

I know on R32's where the boost line meet's up to the boost solenoid there is a boost hose there with a yellow stripe on it and if you squeeze along it you will feel a hard bit in there like there is a marble or something stuck in there.

Pop that line off and squeeze it out then pop the line back on, that should bump boost up to around the 1 bar mark give or take a little.

The solenoid is mounted up on the drivers side strut tower.

Hope this helps.

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
