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.

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
