Hi guys I have a R32 GTS-T, i am trying to find out what to do next my mods are as follows:

pod

wolf 3D

GT30 ballbearing 650hp

hks fmic

fuel reg

3" exhuast

injectors i think about 500cc not sure

45mm waste gate

h/D clutch excedy

Currently the car is running 16psi and i am yet to do the fuel pump which is getting done soon at the moment i have 210rwkw just wondering after fuel pump what sort of internal work i need to do enable me to turn the boost up and start getting some good figures i want to keep everything that i have. Do i need to open the engine up and say some forged piston and rods? Not sure what needs to be done i have heard that you can just put the RB25 bottom half of the engine to replace the RB20 is that right, and help would be great and what sort of prices am i looking at Thanks

Forget about cracking open the engine if your making 210rwkws. Forged pistons, rods etc wont mean you make more power...

If you want more power id be having a look at why a 650HP turbo is struggling to make 300rwhp. If you serisouly want to make anything near what a 650hp turbo is capable of delivering, then id be starting to look at a bigger RB engine.

But id say you dont need to replace anything to make more power, by the sounds of what you have the thing should be able to happily make 250rwkws at sensible boost levels and std engine internals, something isnt quite right if your making 210rwkws

ok well maybe he ment it might make 650 if i high flowed it not sure not really fused i cant use that much anyway with the standard 2L all my mods didn't cost me anything as he got done by the EPA and had to get rid of it all and get standard gear. He had no money and i hit the jack pot getting his turbo, dump pipe,45mm waste gate, fuel reg, catch can, bigger injectors all i had to add was the wolf 3D and give him all my standard gear i jumped from 108rwkw to 210rwkw with only paying $1900 for parts not bad ha

Greetings All.

Could i be possible the turbo is sick? Shaft play? Damaged compressor/turbine??

Also, Arnt GT-30 Turbos rated at around 550HP...?? (Non ball baring core night not help??)

What are the turbo specs?

Cheers,

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
