I am curious to know what the reliable and possible limits are for the components that make up our skylines. I've been through the dyno thread to see what people have done, but that and whats reliable are two diferent things.

Eg... I have an R33 GTR vspec, so based on the components of a standard car what are the limits of that parts that we all change when tuning for max power.

440cc Injectors - xxxHP

Standard GTR AFM's - xxxHP

R33 Fuel pump - xxxHP

Standard Rods - xxxHP

Standard Crank - xxxHP

Standard pistons - xxxHP

Standard block - xxxHP

Oil pump limits - xxxHP

Standard R33 Cams - xxxHP

Anyone care to jump in here...?

Cheers,

The figures will vary depending on peoples individual experiences.

ie 1 person will say their fuel pump died at 220kw where as others will say they need to replace it at 250kw.

Yes true, but 30kw is hardly worth mentioning for somethign like a pump. Its usually the first thing changed too, then a fuel pressure regulator to crank every last bit out of your stock injectors.

Thinks like rod bolts let go at rpms as well, due to age and metal fatigue. Its hard to really see what happened when your looking at the aftermath of a rod failure too. A LOT of failures happen due to missed shifts, or are due to bad tune.

Its a lot easier to be sure of the limits of sensors to the point where the ability to tune properly is no-longer possible, vs the point at which a rod turns into a banana because you used too much boost... Can you tell i'm a high octane fan!!!?

Also to note, someones motor dies with say 300rwkw due to poor tuning and they dont realise.

Or they have tried to push say... the injectors too hard.

Again, the limit is also wrong then.

Roughly it goes like this from what i have seen here over the years

RB26 - 330rwkw street/300rwkw circuit

RB25 - 280wkw street/250rwkw circuit

Also things like AFM's etc, you can tune past the point they max out.

Some tuners get better results with stock cams than aftermarket ones etc. Its all dependant on car setup and the intended use and i would say its all individual based upon this.

Dynos make a difference too, one might be 30rwkw higher due to the model/type. Again thats a noticeable difference depending on the circumstance.

It is really hard to gauge something.

440cc Injectors - 440HP (or around 280rwkw)

Standard GTR AFM's - will hit the max 5.115v at around 260rwkw

R33 Fuel pump - change it when you change the injectors.

Standard Rods - xxxHP

Standard Crank - xxxHP

Standard pistons - xxxHP

Standard block - xxxHP

Oil pump limits - xxxHP

Standard R33 Cams - xxxHP

the other parts you mention don't really have a power rating. it depends on application, tuning, driver, support sytems etc as to how long they can live.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
