WARLORD, do you have any pics of the actuator bracket? it looks like you have the exact same actuator bracket that i had, which isnt the correct bracket, i had to modify mine as it was causing the actuator rod to sit at an extreme angle which could have damaged the diaphram if i had left it the way it was, you will see what im talking about in the thread bellow, i ending up modifying my bracket in the end.

Did you buy your turbo kit from JPS-Trading?

yes jps gave me a deal that i could not say no too as they said it was the last one .if you want ill take a photo of the bracket to se if its the same.

new pics

waiting for my injectors to come from jps unfortunately the f@#% up my order.it would of been finished tomorrow .

1.gt-rs

2.3037

3.hpi front pipe

that 3037 looks horn! i love how for a decent sized turbo it remains conspicuously low mounted.

The HPI pipe looks great too, i am waiting for mine from just jap right now! what front pipe were you running before? is there meant to much gains with these twin pipe hpi units?

also what "cat" are you "de" running :P im also waiting for a JJR type 1 to fill the gap b/w hpi pipe and cat back.

cheers

hi yes it is horn lol,as for the front pipe i had a 3" pipe be for nothing to great,the hpi ones are great so you don't hit speed humps as they do not hang as low as a 3" one.

as for gains it may help spooling but as its larger than a 3" pipe but time will tell once my faking injectors come.

ii have a catco metal cat with the s/s inside the cat .you can get them for about $420 if you look around i think just jap has them for $480

good stuff al nice engine cool engine bay ill like to see the out come when you turn it up.

it will be nice if you could do a comparison with our new set ups like you did with the gt-rs turbos

Well got the car back last Friday and it is awesome. As my mechanic already had a base tune done, from the first build, he tweaked it a little, while bedding it in on the dyno. Car is still in run-in tune, but is making a little more power than the first tune :).

Absolutely loving the instant response of this setup; not even the factory turbo spool up as quickly as this.

Checked out your engine bay on Saturday, the turbo is nice and stealthy, lets hope it can produce the numbers :D

hi blitz we got close but there is something restricting the power we lifted the rpm up to 7450 and it makes power all the way up to the limiter where at 280kw looking for 20 more.

  • 1 month later...

well i found the 20 more kw .....now ive got 304 kw at the wheels. thanks to a 3-3.75 hks exhuast and a better tune.

i ran a 12.22 @122.9 m/h with a shit 60 foot of 2.16,till my next run .

next mod on the books is a port and valve job on the head and a ported exhaust manifold.

why don't you work on your 60ft before making more power?

with some slicks and a top notch rear end setup it nearly has the power to run a very high 10. If you didn't use MT ET streets go and buy some. Best $600 you will spend. $600 of engine mods will not drop a second of your 1/4 mile time (unless you have an auto and get some nitrous :D)

thanks guys i did get my 60ft to a 1.82 but i ripped a big backfire and shit myself and stopped the run.

as for more power you always need more, its the way you go about getting it which is never going to be the same as the next guy. no matter what you read....

i am running m/t 255 as well

ill share my youtube vid with you all as long as i don't get any $2 fools say dumb remarks .

like"you should'nt drive like that " cos any one how owns a car speeds and if you say you never have than your full of shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

go to youtube type in the search bar r33niko to see some vids.

thanks again for the support to some of you dedicated modfiers .............

just 1 question... before you decided to spend all this money on your car did you consider selling it and buying a GTR?? I only ask as you seem like you want a car that will go very quick in a straight line.....many gtr's with stock turbos run quicker than 12.2 (my previous car 33gtr ran 11.9 @115 with stock turbos and road tires)...i like what you have done with your car but would love to know your rationale behind sticking with the gtst as by the ammount of you cash you have spent you could have bought a gtr comfortably?

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
