i spent nearly $2300 on it so far....still plenty to come....

im not bitchin guys....just happy with the result...

Wow thats not bad Brendan for that much! I'm sure most of us have spend 6000+ to get only little gain out of the engine..

Abo Bob,

Sorry to post this here but my internet explorer won't let me PM you.

My engine came out of a dressed half cut which still had factory computer, AMF's, air box, intercooler, dump pipes, front pipes, cam gears and the factory filter and when i fitted this engine and got the PFC fitted with z32 amfs and tuned and it made 248 awkws on CRDs dyno at 18 psi 2 1/2 years ago sence then all i've done is fit HKS EVC, twin plate, Metal cat and apex'i power intake kit.

So naturaly i have no reason to believe the turbos had been changed, at the time of fitting the engine i fitted ces dump pipes and equal length front pipes and while doing this i checked the housing size of the exhaurst housing which is where i got the .48 from.

Every day driving i have it on 15 psi and drags on 19 psi same as the dyno, track on 15 psi. I've spent the last few years developing the car to get as much as i possibley can out of the stock turbos before i put something bigger in when i rebuild the first engine which spun No 6 big end.

As below the car ran 11.36 @ 125 mph on 19 psi.

Please don't get me wrong im not trying to be smart im just trying to prove a point, by all means if some one can tell me how to tell if they are not other then the stocks just can't do that then im all ears.

I'm pretty sure getting 350rwkW to the ground is pretty much impossible. You'll feel more G's in a 300awkW GTR. :)

You'll also beat more ppl from a standing start too.

Getting the power to the ground is not that hard to be honest. A well sorted wheel/tyre/suspension setup lets us put down 410rwkw in 3rd gear and upwards. 1st and 2nd is of course a total and utter waste of time, but its loads of fun in 3rd gear :D :D

Looked like a massive day for UAS and SAU which i would expect nothing else. Great to see so many cars but a huge shame our car hasnt been sorted as it would have been great to get it on the rollers :) maybe next year!!!

well i was completely pleased with my result....didnt think i would take the 33 stock turbo category with so small mods. didnt hang around so i missed the prizes...

mods to date

Split dump, 3" system, hi flow cat

Just jap fmic

greddy profec B at 12psi(drops to 10psi)

Made 202.6rwkw.

Damn it! :D thought i might have had a chance this time, LOL

Thats great power, as abo bob said, prob chipped! i have a fair bit more done than listed above including power fc which was only tuned last week on 11psi and i got 205KW, only got 195KW on sat.

Pop ups thing didn't work still won't let me PM it just shuts down internet explorer, i can't ADDREPLY either only FASTREPLY.

Like i said not trying to be smart or accuse anyone of anything, i think i've had an honest shot at it with what i can only asume are the stock turbos and i thought i was doing good with then not breaking, i thought they were still going because im fairly carefull with how i use them and only turning them up for short periods soes not to over heat them which is what i thought was what makes them fail.

Just can't understand why some one in japan would spend the money on high flowing or converting them to steel and not fitting an exhaurst, filters, computer or boost controler.

As i said before when they were apart i looked to see if they had .64 rear housings and when i saw they were .48 i just thought stockers and didn't look further.

Still i have to think they are stock, i certainly have not touched them other then put dumps on and will be rather disapointed if in fact they do turn out to be something else as i am rather proud of my efferts so far bring it from 13 flat with only cat back to what it does now. :D

Im trying to get my head around the 11.3 @ 126 mph on stock turbos part.

I agree, Nick.

I do recall years ago at the old Eastern Creek drags there was a guy who had a burgundy (Aus-spec?) GTR who ran 11.4's. He claimed that they were with stock turbos. I didn't believe him. Up until now, I don't think anyone else has claimed anything close to that on stockers. I would suggest that they would probably be highflowed turbos as standard GTR turbos just do not make 290rwkw.

i fail to see how 290rwkw would or could run 125mph.... we ran 124 with 340rwkw and N1's. Not saying it hasnt happened on paper, just think something isnt really right there.....

I think it comes down to different dyno readings. TO4GTR made 295rwkw on the same dyno that day and he has run an 11.3@122.

yeah i know i couldn't believe the time either i thought it had to be a mistake but i have 1, 11.49 @ 119 mph slip, 1, 11.36 @ 125 mph slip, and 1, 11.38 @ 125 mph slip which was done on the 16th of this month last wednesday night and the dyno run of 290rwkw which was done on the 19th of this month at the sau dyno day.

sorry no nos and only shell v-power

Dude, can I just say here that you are taking this in the nicest possible way and that is quite refreshing.

Hey mate 290rwkws thats nice, i made 252 on 11psi so if the turbos hold together car see why they wouldnt make 290rwkws. Anyway looks like i missed a good day

yes. power isnt really that importand. infacgt its refreshing seeing that and running the numbers :)

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
