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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
