I was looking at running a GT30R, but looking closely at the results there arent many ppl making early 300rwkws with them. Typically 280-290rwkws with a good lung full of boost. So not much headroom for pumping a few extra psi to get anpother 30-40rwkws out if it for ballpar 340rwks.

So from there GT30R, how much difference in driveability is there to a GT35R? Im hoping to get around 290-300rwkws from 16psi, with the occasional adventure to around 22psi where i would hope to net 340-350rwkws on Optimax.

Needs to be a single, and needs to be T3 flanged. Since i already run a Greddy setup was also considering the TD06SH-25G.

Not overly concerned about lag, as long as it makes strong power from 4,500rpm to 8,500rpm. (4,500rpm +200rwkws)

Speaking Garret talk, i suppose im curious to know if the 3240/3540 are good things etc, or can the GT30R be leaned on to credibly give the numbers i want?

16psi on a 2L to make 300rwkw is a hard ask Roy. Its like asking a RB20DE to make 140-150rwkw in naturally aspirated form. The GT35R might do it, but 16psi is not much flow to work with unless you have big cams/porting etc. You are better off leaning on the GT30R to reach your goals rather than oversizing the turbo just for the 'lower boost' mentality. A GT35R is a huge thing for a 2L and the transient response even on boost will be less than desirable. Remember 300rwkw is 300rwkw, no matter what the boost; the strain on the motor is the essentially same really.

EDIT - of course this is assuming you have an RB20DET...

Ye, but they are 3ltr man... you are 2ltr.

You need more boost, the SOHC guys have ported heads/cams etc.

So its not something comparable.

And they are using more than 15/16psi for thier 300rwkw, closer to 20

You'll need 20+ psi to get close to 300. I had 270 on ~17psi

Oh... the latest crack pot idea you had eh? hehe :(

i cant remember, it had the biggest wheel offering at the time for the 600hp variant.

there were 500 and 550 also... wasnt those though :rofl:

btw - your weak as p|ss, going home @ 3am

Yes a big ask from a 2L six . How far are you prepared to go/spent to get it there Roy ? Probably needs a really flying head and healthy cams to get there . Its fair to assume that the GTS-R's exhaust manifold is good considering it was designed for the Grp A RB20 .

Does anyone know what spec the GMS R31's ran and what sort of power they made ?

Cheers A .

Ive got a pretty good idea of the Gibson cars since i know a guy that has just restored one and has spare Gibson blocks etc laying around. He is one of the little birdies in my ear saying that the std RB20 is pretty strong...hence me beign pretty comfortable about running 1.5bar for a few laps at Sandown :(

Its not a 2L either. Will be running 26 crank, Eagle 26 rods, Apexi cams and cleaned up head. :rofl:

Hmmm , well Watson we'd probably have doubts about using a hydraulic head to 8.5k so the evil Moriati may have the gun head in the wings ...

Whats with the negative waves....why cant you just dif what a beautiful day it is :laugh:

And im not that fussed about the std lifters. With the std springs at the moment im pulling 8,500-8,800rpm. I even gave it a hit at 1.5bar and it didnt seem to have any head problems. I hope with better springs and still only mild lift cams i can still get away with the hydraulic lifters. At the end of the day im hoping not to have to rev the new engine as hard as the std RB20...but will if i need to get the drive in the next gear

That said, i am on the lookout for a poor soul that has had dramas with a bottom end letting go and a ruined 26 head. It would be good to get my hands on the valve gear

My understading is 3037 is basically the GT30R

That said, i am on the lookout for a poor soul that has had dramas with a bottom end letting go and a ruined 26 head. It would be good to get my hands on the valve gear

i've still got my 26 bottom end (minus pistons & rods) which made way for an RB30 :laugh:

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
