Well im looking at a stock GTR 32 for 17k

Its never been dynoed but its stock everything. Except exhaust.

What Kws would it be making roughly?

And when i buy i dont wanna upgrade much so all i plan on doing is

Power Fc + controller

Fuel Pump

Boost Controller

I hope to get away with all that only costing $2000 to buy fit and tune.

What would my figure be roughly then?

Any thing i should upgrade to?

about 180rwkw

how much boost do you plan to run once tuned with pfc, ebc and fuel pump?

then someone can tell you what you will probably make.

I'd "guess" with 14psi on stock turbo's, PFC and fuel pump, tuned, it will be about 230rwkw or round about.

and good for mid to low 12's?

Having said that, 14psi on stock R32 turbo's in on burrowed time.

Do this at your own risk.

u wont get great power without dump pipe, decent exhaust. from what i have discovered stock turbos range, but generally ppl says dont boost over 1 bar....

fuel pump prob wont need touching if u are only going to do those mods, better spent on dump pipes

I love the general broad comments.

Yes.. in general the RB26 internals are good for that sort of power.

my comment of "Having said that, 14psi on stock R32 turbo's in on burrowed time" is in reference to the stock Ceramic wheeled turbo's bolted to the side of the rb26.

if they blow, you are up for a "MINIMUM" pair of turbo's. new, used or hiflowed or whatever.

I don't see that being less than $1500 for the parts, then labour to fit it all... no offence, you just don't come across as the type of person who can do this task.

I say minimum, as it's seems to be a 50/50 chance of blowing the engine when you blow a stock turbo on these cars.

do a search and you'll see a few threads about GTR's and rebuilds.

some people don't have any issues to the engine when a stock turbo blows and others lose compression on the 3 cylinders that the blown turbo is connected to..

a simple rb26 forged piston and rod pack is close to $2K

blah blah blah.. could be an expensive exercise for running that sort of boost on stockers..

if I were you, I'd try to stretch the budget to buy a GTR which has good compression and aftermarket turbo's or one tha't s been fully built

You need to be a bit careful with you terminology. The dump pipes bolt up against the turbo. They are bastards of things to get at and replacing them will provide little power gain on a stock car.

The front pipes which go from the dump pipe to the cat are easier to get at, but don't provide a big gain.

Importantly if the car has a cheap compliance cat this can be an issue. Try either a stock unit (very good) or a good aftermarket one.

The remainder of the exhaust can be bought relatively cheaply & is worthwhile - some for the power but mostly for the noise.

As had been said the fuel pump if you want to replace it will be mostly for insurance rather than performance.

Air filter (K&N) plus 14# boost + exhaust will run over 300rwhp on an R32 Gt-R. You can throw some cam gears at it for some more hp. After that you need to shop for bigger turbos.

the one im looking at has HKS GT-SS TURBOS (GT-25 BALL BEARING) and FULL 3.5 INCH TITANIUM EXHAUST.

Those turbos any good? they a ok up grade from the standered turbos? and is that what ur talking about when u say good aftermarket turbos?

thanks for ue advice by the way!

Take your pick. The stock ecu can be remapped if you deem it necessary. The Power fc base tune can be cleaned up also. I used to run my old car on a power fc with the base tune in it. Works fine as does the stock ECU with the same settings.

At the end of the day the tune is more important than the ecu - get so it checked on the dyno.

Lastly don't listen to the full time harbingers of doom about the turbos. They are fine, just don't run them outside their envelope & don't abuse the car. Same as anything.

thanks mate for the advice.. im pretty conservative driving my car! im just worried and loosing sleep bout buying a gtr i want it so bad but have heard some horror stories about them. and to make it worse i have a beautiful gtst that i kno is great that ill have to get rid of to get the gtr

yes..

gt-ss turbo's are a perfect street turbo from what all owners are saying.

300kw at the wheels is well within reach.

oh excellent that makes me feel alot better and this car is clean as to...

also never been boosted... just hope they go as low as what im offering... and that the check at boostworxs is ok

I dont believe that the car has GT-SS turbos and HASNT been boosted

Whos trying to pedal such a lie?

Also, it doesnt matter whether the car has been boosted or not within reason. The motor is more than up to the task.

So long as the check at the workshop goes ok, then buy it if its what you really want

When I bought my GTR it was "stock, never boosted..."

yeah right :P

when you start to hunt for power with your car it soon becomes aparent that your "stock" GTR isnt realy very stock at all.

initial purchace will see you needing a full overhaul of the vehicle fluids and filters + a cam belt, budget around $1000 to have it done at a workshop and dialed in on the dyno.

stock GTR's make around 165awk, slightly more with an exaust.

I did the following:

Power FC $1000

cam gears $150

EBC (already fitted but budget for around $500)

Turbo timer (already fitted and not much point using one unless you take your car to the track, budget for around $200)

Gauges (already fitted but you will want these as the stock gauges are crap budget around $500 - $700)

Hi flow cat $400

Dyno time $500 minimum

Labor to fit all this stuff $1000 approx

and then there is all the problems they find like brittle hoses, leaking injectors and the like so make sure you have some cash spare for that.

result?

230awk @ .9bar (everything running at approx 80% capacity ie injectors and AFM's etc)

On a stockish GTR;

15psi

New ECU (choose your brand)

zorst

good tune

=260 odd rwkw (on mine 262 exact)

lol i thought that to but he had plans on doing that then the cash ran out. but it even runs stock air cleaner things not pods. evrything looks stock as.

The MINES R34 uses stock airboxes, its not stock :thumbsup:

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
