gday guy i was just after some info on building a 350-400awkw gtr. this is a long tearmish kinda goal to acheive

keeping it at the 2.6L...many a slight bore, but not stroking it out. also using low mounted twins that are direct bolt on if possible. is this able to be acheived.

at the moment the car if off the road and is about to receive a rebuild so im hoping the parts that will be able handle that kinda power figure.

have the computer ready to go in. then there will b some money spent on other things such as new suspension set up etc. a lil maintanence to the car...that kinda stuff

is this able to be acheived??

cheers

All you need is alot of money that you'll never see again >_<

Engine will need complete rebuild if you want any sort of longevity.. forged pistons/rods, everything in the head. Fuel supply will need to be substantial, as support systems, ECU, boost controller, intake, exhaust etc etc etc $$$

Don't forget suspension, wheels/tyres and brakes!

basically you will need a built motor with cams, a decent fuel system (pump, injectors etc), ECU, upgraded AFMs, HKS 2530s and all the support gear, like oil cooler, sump baffles and oil system mods, clutch upgrade, possibly box upgrade (depending on how you drive it), little things like EBC, new cooler, good gauges etc etc. It will be a fun car though.

With an RB26 u'll be looking at $15,000+ if you want something that will last and still pull out those figures. Someone who I know has R32 gtr had a full rebuild and is a complete beast and has spent about $20k so yeh not a cheap project at all.

some of that i think depends on the use of the car

being street or track etc

YES very achievable as there a number of rb26 low mount twins running this awkw around the place.

Equipment needed

Turbos .Garret Gt2560r 707160-5 or the HKS 2530 (these are the best two choices for what you want)

Ecu. Apexi PFC (only choice in my option for street gtr)

Afms. RB20/25afms (up to 530rwhp)and Z32 afms over this level (descreen the afms is good tip)

Injectors. 700cc sards

Cams. Tomei poncam 260deg 9.15mm lift or similar HKS etc

Cam Wheels. Tomei make great units but any will do the job (yes very importane in the final tune)

Exhaust. You need dumps and full exhaust (3 1/2" is good or twin system)

Fuel system. The r32 needs a direct power supply to the fuel and most likely a pump upgrade the r33 and r34 can make the hp if the pressure is not altered on the std system.

I would note running this power for any length of time especially in a r32 you will need forged pistons and a set of arp rod bolt (atleast).

there are many other nice things you can add but i have just listed what i have found you will need

ps as for the cost of all that well it variies to much and also weather your willing to work on the car yourself

Im looking at the same amount of power in my gtr as well.Good to see someone else is in the same boat as me.

Pnblight does the Garret Gt2560r 707160-5 have the same specs and spools at the same revs as the HKS2530 ?Just wondering because I hear HKS basically sells Garret turbos but with the HKS name,so want to know if theres any difference besides the names..

Cheers.

ok the hks2530 do spare some parts with gt2560r ie turbine wheel and housing but the garret run a different compressor wheel and to try and explain the difference from what i have seen it the garret spool better and are more efficient below 1.5bar but the hks 2530 can really come in to there own after 1.5bar.

The garret gt2560r 707160-5 are the best early spool and low end hp i have seen reliative to there potient.

3500rpm ~135rwhp

4000rpm ~180rwhp

4500rpm ~240rwhp

5000rpm ~360rwhp

5500rpm ~435rwhp

7500rpm ~529.4rwhp

so as you can see the power is early and quiet linear to explain by seat of the pants ride the engine pulls from 3000rpm and the its on turbos and hailing by 4000rpm which makes it an awesome track car, very fast and user friendly.

pete

ps hope that helps

This will give you an idea on pricing. This setup was $15000 drive in / drive out tuned.

Standard Rb26 internals.

GCG high mount manifold, GCG 35/66 SPL, Turbosmart progate 48, Sard 650cc injectors, Bosch 044 fuel pump, Apexi D-Jetro ECU, Tomei adjustable cam gears, Gates timing belt, Custom dump pipe, cooler pipes, intake pipe and filter, custom power steer resovoir, Speedflow turbo plumbing. Eboost 1. Includes labour for removal and fittment of all parts. Tune at Unigroup.

Note that no engine internals have been done, you can safely add Another 10k+ with a engine build.

    • 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.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
