R33 Gtst 250rwkw Gt30r

[mass_iv]

forgot to add going from an almost standard skyline to a 300rwkw beast is a fair jump, not to mention will require a lot of money!!

Hey guys one question.

You're using a 550hp (approx) turbo and only aiming for about 250rwkw? Won't this be running the turbo quite a bit below its' efficiency range?

If you wanted 250rwkw, wouldn't a GT-RS have been a better option due to the fact that it will be far more responsive?

A 550hp turbo should be good for towards 300rwkw.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, I am aiming for 290 to 300rwkw, shouldn't be a problem.

Ahh ok. Looks like you're both buying the turbo for the future.

Make sense now

[mass_iv]

yeh, sorry if that wasnt clear before.... its all about the $$$$$ and wat u want, they dont mix sometimes

[mass_iv]

hey guys so happy, i started my car today, it kicked over after a small tune of Power FC, just put in a small tune to get it started and drive it to the exhaust place so that the dump can be made up, once that is done i should have my car 2 days later, the tuner will need two days, for a cold start...

im so excited i cant wait!!!!!

[siksII]

u better come pick me up real soon after its on the road !!!!!

You're letting someone else drive your car?!?!? You're crazy!

Just kidding...look forward to seeing those results.

On a more serious note, I know you low mounted your turbo mass_iv, but for the rest of the guys who are doing this upgrade, did you also low mount the turbo? I had originally planned on using a low mount manifold, but have also seen some nice high mount set ups and I'm curious if there's any particular benefit to doing either...

[mass_iv]

i would go for the high mount if i was going to do this again, as it would have been heaps easier. the only reason i didnt high mount it was because i was using an internally gated turbo, also the cost's of a new manifold were a little too much for me at the moment.

[mass_iv]

ECR033, did u find someone to do the work for you? if ur looking at somewhere pm me and i can give my mates at MRT a call and get a quote for you, just tell me wat work needs to be done and wat parts u have.....

[GunMetalR33]

Low mount is more EPA friendly and the install is cheaper.

lol

dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u better watch out, when ur not looking your gt30 may go missing, replaced with a stock turbo

[mass_iv]

LOL, yeh but it would take u a long time to take all the crap off, so just borrow my car and give it back with all of that shit missing, maybe i wont realise.....

Hey mate I'm not sure if anyone mentioned a clutch upgrade.

My clutch was getting a little weak when I sent my car away to be "modded to the sh!thouse".

What this meant was that when I picked it up, the damn thing would just slip and I didn't get to see what the 240rwkw actually felt like. It was a big downer and 2 hours later before I even made it home it had died completely and I had to get the car towed.

A week later I got it back, although my stepdad picked it up for me cause I was at work so he got the first ride.

Funny thing was, he told my mum that he thought it felt no faster than before but not to tell me he said that (she told me anyway ). I'm doubting he even hit full boost. Anyone should be able to differentiate between 140rwkw and 240rwkw. And I sure as hell could tell the difference.

[mass_iv]

yeh i know bout that mate, i just recently changed my clutch, ive got a heavy duty exedy clutch, although my mechanic thinks it wont last more then a month, but it should handle it for a while, ill prob go for a puk clutch or a brassy, i used to have one in there but didnt think id need it...

by the way that would suk if i wasnt the first to drive my just moded line...LOL

[GunMetalR33]

I have a Ceramic 5 Puk clutch and am hoping for 260rwkw when tuned. Will my clutch hold this power????

Its a UAS one.

[mass_iv]

this has got me thinking guys, anyone know of a good clutch to handle about 250rwkw, i currently have an exedy heavy duty sports clutch, but i dunno if its trong enough, my mate has a wrx 2.5L pushing about 320awkw, and has the same clutch as me, but he rekons its only going to last him 2 weeks, as he is only using it to run his engine in...

im not sure if mine will handle 250rwkw, but i dont really wanna go for a puk or brass button clutch... any thoughts?

[mass_iv]

id say ur clutch will hold, i had a 5 puk clutch before this one and man it used to take a thrashing, just was a little bit of a bitch when it heated up... i dunno though
