Yes it appears that this promising combo disappeared to oblivion...

you dont need big stroker cranks to make good power with GT-RS turbo's

we made 455 AWKW in competition at Newcastle Autosalon with BP98 in tank and 20psi

all this with a STD Nissan R33 crank! on an 11.2:1 run in tune

makes his 2.9ltr look a little weak now

edit:also made over 500awkw at final battle with Sunoco at 25psi with 11.4:1afr's

u would prob find the stroker would have made more torque alot earlier.

not correct...ive got nearly 5500rpm of peak torque!...ill go the "pepsi challenge" with Gav's 450kw graph from Perth Autosalon to prove a point if you like. Both done on a Mainline dyno under competition conditions.

My main point is you don't need to waste money on big $$ engineering or an out of the box stroker crank. Why re-invent the wheel. Spend the money elsewhere like headwork, monster cams and rev the c*nt out of it. It will make the power!

Agreed...My old engine with GTRS's made maximum torque about 500rpm lower with a 4mm stroker crank.

But...the new car makes max torque well under 3krpm...and it has bags and bags of it

u must come from the rotor way of thinking. im rather apposed to this approach. the idea of " if it wont make torque just keep revving it" doesn't work for me. the higher u rev an engine and the longer u maintain those revs causes incredible amounts of engine wear (especially with all the problems RBs have with oil control at high revs).

i prefer the V8 approach, where u make bulk torque low in the rev range saving lots of undue stress on the engine. if i was building a track car i would rev it hard, but were talking street cars. i prefer the engine in my street cars to last as long as possible. but its horses for courses i guess.

i hardly think its reinventing the wheel, more a case of refining the wheel. if u didnt keep trying to improve on what u had, we would all still be riding around in cars made of logs on big wheels made out of stone (like in the flintstones). im not goin to sit here and debate which is better with any one and im not tryin to convert any1. i'm merely saying there might be a better way than just "reving the c*nt out of it" as u so carefully put it.

my results both on and off the track speak for themselves.

go and stroke it if you want...its your money!

im not calling ur results into question, infact if u go to the track a bit ur setup is prob a really good way to go

This didn't disappear into oblivion. I just got sick of e-warriors telling me "$5000, i can buy xyz jap brand for not much more than that!" or "what about the rod to stroke ratio? That must be a real problem!" etc etc. Whilst i never tried to tell anyone that this was some sort of magic combination, it seems there are a lot of people out ther with little to no experience who want to try prove there vast and expansive knowledge, that is fairly obviously gained from reading forums and reading forums only. Trust me, this combo works, and works well. Its a street car, and as such all in all is a good compromise of everything, in my opinion

Paul, i certainly dont put you in that category, your results speak for themselves. As you would know, you have obviously put a lot of time into developing what is a extremley potent combo. I certainly believe with more development time, i could see substantial gains in power form my set up. Its only been on the dyno twice. Once it maxed the injectors, the second time it was tuned, made safe, and thats it . It has never even had the cam timing played with! I would be interested to hear your comments on a couple of things on my car that i reckon might be holding it back. However i would take the "pepsi challenge" with you. Run your car up, print a dyno sheet, pull the engine out, change crank and pistons to a stroker crank like mine. Put the engine back in. Then tune and re dyno. Print out another dyno sheet. I know which combo would produce a better result. Paul surely you agree that if all that is changed is capacity, and it is inceased, your car will make at least the same power, but lower in the rev range, and may even make more..... There are no "smoke and mirrors", or "special sauce" in making power.

As far as the rest of the dribble on this page, seriously girls keep it on nissansilvia.com I put this info up here in the first place to share info with others, as i have gained a lot from these forums, so figured its a good idea to put back. Lets keep it on topic hey.

While on this GT2530/GT-RS(2871R-52T) has anyone thought of using HKS's GT2535 turbo's ? From their specs they use the same turbine as 2530's and GT-RS's but the compressor is an unusual 69mm diametre so may prove a little less laggy than the GT-RS's 71mm compressor depending on wheel trim and housing AR . I have to assume its compressor is a special by Garrett for HKS which they do at times . I'm not sure if its available with housings to suit an RB26 but its food for thought .

Cheers A .

You have sparked my interest, I could highflow my GT2860R-5's with the 2535 compressor, however I have noted only a 40ps increase in flow over the 2530's and they 2535 wheel has a larger inducer....not sure how well this would perform.. very interesting though.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
