Hey forum just popping in to attain some info from the experts. Just wanted to know what id=s the max hp to be expected out of a rb26dett engine? Looked and searched the forum got 400rwkw but that wasn't confirmed, so I just want to know what the awkw figure would be just with bolt-ons. Gonna get myself a GTR and just wanted to know what I can do to the stock engine power wise that will make it last as it will be a daily driver I was looking at say 373 kw at all the wheels can the stock engine handle that?

300kw is beyond the limits of stock internals

you should get it built if you want 300kw

theres no upper limit i guess, how much money do you have, gtr700 makes 1100hp i think

Money is here and there (meaning scarce)after I get the car might have about 5000 left for whatever upgrades that can do, but can always borrow some money to get the car where I need it to be and I am not in a rush so it doesnt all have to be one time. Its completely stock so 3000 probably going on intercooler, pfc, and exhaust. What I really want is a gtr that has 500 horses is that enuff hp to do burnouts and 360's?

dont get a GTR to do burnouts and 360s

helis will kill the stock motor due to oil starvation and youll be in no position (presumably) for a 10k rebuild

Just get an exhaust, power fc and tune, some cam gears and a timing belt change (if needed)

Theres close to 250rwkw without raising a sweat

The factory intercooler wont need to be changed

if you want to do burnouts and 360's get yourself a RWD car.

You can go about 300kw on the stocker engine after that things are gonna go sour on you. get the basics, and have ur turbochargers checked, if they go bang on you then youd be up for a expensive build. but look at your finances first, you cant have a killer car and eat out of the dumpster.

Daboss, a GTR isnt for you. $5000 will only half cover the engine rebuild. Let alone the other 10k you'll need.

The maintainance costs are far beyond what you'll be able to afford, and would eat up the 5k alone in a couple of years, if not sooner

Especially if you wanna rape and abuse a motor.

There is no chance in hell the RB26 will crank out 400rwkw if you just wanna do burnouts.

I'd give it a few weeks of that treatment and it would be dead. Even @ 300rwkw. No stock RB26 will live a long life on the limiter.

Most track GTRs with 300-330rwkw eventually shit motors be that 1-2-3 years of use in such a manner... actuallly.. none have lasted to my knowledge

Ok thanks for the input guys, wow guess the GTS-T is the way to go. :) really wanted a GTR though. So what would I need engine wise to produce 350 awkw in a GTR?

Do not want it just for that, Just wanted to know if I wanted to cut loose from time to time if I could with a gtr and how much awkw would it take. Just wanted the ultimate performance car that would give me the most out of my dollar and that would rival many of the evo's, supras, rx7s and mustangs we have over here basically on a stock motor.

Supra hands down, forged internals, you can make 400+RWKW on stock engine and gearbox no probs and there are heaps of example i can give. Unbelievable cars that are extremely underrated, try to get a newish one though 97,98 or even s15 isnt to bad as its light cheap to mod and maintain compared to 6cyl and will give you all the sideways burnout action you like, whilst also being reliable conisdering its a 2001mdl compared to 97 etc

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
