Wow, it's amazing what happens overnight here when all your Aussies are awake Thank you everyone for the many compliments on the car, it is my first RB, but certainly not my first engine conversions or fast ride. I work as an Engineer as a full time job, and run a small business doing engine conversions into anything on the side with a good friend of mine. I will be tuning the car myself, and I've had plenty of luck with DSMLink on 4G63 powered cars here in the states... routinely making 500-600WHP. Nistune is a very similar interface, just less features. We'll see how I do with it and then go from there. I'm not going to lie, a full standalone intimidates me a bit. Especially learning on such an expensive engine. I'll do some research on the precision singles... all the rage here are the new BorgWarner EFR turbos, I've been looking at them as well. I haven't totally ruled out a single, but I don't think I can accomplish it for less than what the garretts will cost, and if they'll get me to my goal, why not? NJ is the only state in the union to not have E85, so that isn't an option. I know I'll end up with injectors in the 660-1000cc range... The car is not a daily driver, just a weekend toy. I have a 96 Landcruiser with a Mitsu Diesel in it as my daily.

Excellent advice... Although I'm not sure how much lighter my zed is than an r33. The cams are not needed, but would they benefit at this power level? 5.5 quarts. This pan is a prototype for a production pan for these swaps. We will be increasing the capacity on the production pans.

Hello all, I have a 300ZX with a R33 GTR RB26 conversion. Right now, the car is essentially stock. The car is running on stock turbos, stock injectors, stock R33 intercooler, custom intake and exhaust (dual 3"/76mm into single 3.5"/90mm). I have Nistune which I am planning on installing soon with a Z32 AFM in blow through for now, with an upgrade to a Lightning MAF at the time I perform my other upgrades. I would like to achieve 450-500WHP on 93 Octane pump fuel. This is what I think I need to get there... Turbos - GT2860R turbos or Tomei ARMS 7655 kit. The ARMS kit will cost me $700-800 more than the Garretts, but it includes so much hardware/gaskets/etc. that it may be worth it. Cams - Stock or Tomei Poncam-B Injectors - 660cc Intercooler - Stock R33 or weld a thicker core into the R33 end tanks Clutch - I'd really like a coppermix twin, but I may just do a push conversion and use a domestically available Z32 NA clutch. ARP Headstuds Lightning MAF for use with Nistune. I don't think I'm missing anything. I don't want to waste money on unneccessary parts. Thoughts? The intended use of the car is a fun street toy with the occasional autocross or track day, I do not want to sacrifice driveability.
