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:

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
