I have recently bought a gt2871r garrett and am putting it on my rb25.

Wat i have on the car

Frontmount

Aftermarket manifold

custom made dump pipe and full exhaust

pod to stock afm to turbo

custom water and oil feed lines and t3 to 28 adapter

boost gauge

safc I

Actuator on the turbo is at 9 pound i think but want to get it changed and tuned to 1 bar. wat else will i need,

will this all run ok? plug gaps be alright? and i have been told that i will need to restrict the oil flow to the turbo as there is too much and will where out seals quicker?

any comments, suggestions pointers are welcome.

Well you havent told us what plug gap your running now.

So somewhere around a rock and a hard place is where you've put us :D

What did the turbo supplier tell you about it?

Some need restrictors, some dont.

You really need some sort of ECU before you go winding up the boost.

Plug gap is .8 and im just going to get a bigger actuator and use my air fuel control, that will work wont it. I only want to run it on 1 bar, stock ecu should be able to handle that??

The turbo will have a restrictor built into the oil feed. If you are paranoid you can get the turbo end fitting on your new lines welded up and re drilled to a smaller size (i dont know the size off the top of my head, roughly .8mm from my very sketchy memory).

Otherwise you have no problem. plug gap is fine, do the fuel pump as suggested, safc will be alright for what you want to do but it will be a bit of a compromise.

Exact spec (trim, A/R) of the turbo will determine both maximum potential output, and the torque DELIVERY. That delivery will be a big factor in how the clutch lasts, but not as much as how the operator looks after it. Hammering it off the line, clutching it regularly to big smoky slides will see it die fairly quickly.

FWIW, my 2871 based high flow running 13.5psi max and 225rwkW gave the stock clutch no problems transmitting the drive without slippage.

Spec dependent again, at 1 bar SL1D1N should be looking to a maximum potential output range between 210 - 240rwkW. That would be beyond the stock fuel system's capacity. And that is how he should view the fuel system - as a SYSTEM. Pump, injectors, pressure regulator. Changing FPR might bump up the max fuel delivery, but probably run into issues elsewhere in the load/rev range.

If the budget isn't there yet, I'd say stick with the 9psi actuator and tune the thing with the interceptor. 180-190rwkW should be the result.

If the finances ARE available, get either a Nismo/Tomei drop in pump, a set of bigger injectors like either the S15 450cc units or 555cc Nismos, and most importantly a decent ECU. Then slip the 1 bar actuator in and get it tuned. Depending on the ECU, may be able to eliminate the AFM.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
