no reason those turbs wont make 780bhp+ with the right setup (they are the turbs im using)

Interesting...

So in theory if the motor is as good as what im told, there is no reason why it couldnt be a 600rwhp car, or there abouts.

on ~20psi yes, it'll piss it in :(

on a side note, dirtgarage is building his new motor with GTRS strapped to the side, will be interesting to compare his dyno graph to mine

I was thinking more like 2bar to be honest...

Dirt and you will be a good compo, so many tough cars and i have nothing life isnt fair :(

from my research, boost is just a restriction, and the more u feed in the more restriciton u have, match the right head, cams and pipework to the turbo's, and u wont have to wind in as much boost, for example sydneykid has a car down nsw that makes over 800bhp with GTRS on 1.5bar

You make an interesting point, so your saying boost creates friction thus friction creates restriction or something along those lines? First I've heard, I guess it could make sense, I just duno as I've never researched it.

In saying that though, with a mid level built head, wouldn't more boost be better, as you can push the extra air into it?

say if ur head only flows 500cfm, and tune the boost for this 500cfm, and then decide u want more power so u mind in more boost, create an effective 550cfm, the motors going to be working alot harder to get that extra 50cfm through cmopared to a head that can flow 600cfm, and will create more heat etc etc.

i'll paste the PM SK sent me regarding these issues:

Let's start off with AFMs, the right sized ones are never a restriction. AFM's are simply the best way to tune a car, far better than MAP sensors as a load reference. So if you think that by going to a MAP sensor driven ECU you are achieving a better result, then you are mistaken. An example. the Apexi works drag car (V Max as it is known) makes over 1,100 bhp, runs high 8's at 150 mph and it runs AFM's (2 x Q45's to be precise).

HKS rate the GTRS's at

HKS rating is usually around 10% below what the turbo is actually capable of. An example, the Dirt Garage R32GTR achieved 443 rwkw (~700 bhp) out of 2 x 2530's (rated at 320 bhp each). Since HKS rate the GTRS's at 350 bhp each, then around 760 bhp is achievable.

More airflow at the lowest possible boost depends on getting the air in as efficiently as possible, using it efficiently while it being conbusted and then getting it out as efficiently as possible.

Some of the restrictions you are going to see when aiming for that sort of power;

1. Exhaust will need to be 4" from the dump pipe joining point rearwards (that includes the cat). This means it will never be street legal at 750 bhp.

2. Intercooler will need to be at least 100 mm think (x 600 mm x 300 mm). Single entry or twin entry makes no difference as long as it is done right. Keep the gas velocity up, don't make the pipework larger than 55mm from each turbo. Them no larger than 90 mm from the intercooler to the plenum (80 mm is better).

3. The cylinder head will require extensive porting, including carefull matching of the inlet and exhaust manifolds.

4. Speaking of exhaust manifolds, they will need to be matched to the turbos flow and physical dimensions

5. The standard throttle bodies are OK at 750 bhp, but the plenum looses its flow balance over 65 lbs of air per minute and you get hard to tune individual cylinders. Hence the need for the Nismo plenum.

6. The cams will need substantial lift, at least 10.3 mm minimum, the duration is up to your choice of rpm range. I would suggest around 272 degrees, for both inlet and exhaust. Obviously that means valve springs as well as machining the cylinder head to clear the high lift lobes.

7. You will need to replace the exhaust valves, stainless and at least 0.5 mm larger than standard, preferably 1 mm. Inlet valves not as critical, if they need replacing, go for a 0.5 mm upgrade.

8. Be very carefull with mucking up the standard squish by running poorly designed pistons or thick head gaskets. Nissan got the squish zones just right, so don't screw with them.

In summary look at everything between the turbo compressor outlet and the exhaust tip as a potential restriction.

thats the plan, screamers and no cat :P

these next 3 weeks are gonna go sooo slow i reckon :(

Siff not go full ti system, screamers, dumps into 4 inch, then twin 3inch spliter at the rear seat, to out the back. No cat, no muffler, no cannon. Nothing. Just pipe :(

too bad ti is expensive as f**k, plus i live in ipswich mate, and still want to do some hill 'cruises' etc, so im sure the po po wont like straight pipe :(

Bah straight pipe, I ran around for 3 months with my rb20 with straigh pipe in noosa. only made it to a month with the quick R32 just running a dump pipe :(

What can I say, I have a fetish for the truck like rb note you get with straight pipes <3

yeah i like em too, but what i dont liek is the sound when u have ur pipes exit out under the pass door i.e mark jacobson's car :(

I havent heard his car, the moive u have seen of my car on you tube was just the dump pipe, sounded alright, they need some length in the pipe to get a note if you not running mufflers though

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
