Gtr Engine Rebuilt, But Seems Slower Help!

Hey all, Hoping for some input :

I just rebuilt my GTR motor after the oil pump failed and took my crank along with it. I replaced the oil pump (n1) the crank (33 gtr) the rings (n1) and bearings… I put a sump baffle in also… thank that’s about it.

Now the engine is still on running oil at the moment. I’m not sure if this would have an impact or not.

Now… I have A greddy boost gauge which is not hooked up properly electrically, but also I have a HKS EVC which is working just fine, the EVC is reading 6 pounds which is what I have always run at but the car just seems a bit slow. More to the point I drove my mates supra the other day which has ever had anything on the GTR but I’m SURE the supra is running faster than my car.

Now I know I shouldn’t be smashing the car while its running and I’m not, but when you DO put the foot down, it feels like its running on lower boost… runs dead smooth but just not fast. The boost is definitely coming on. Just not convinced its running as fast as it did.

The head was shimmed before putting back on , and the rings are new, so it shouldn’t be compression…

Any other ideas at all?

I am as far as \i know. I am running th car gently for the most part, putting load on it up hills but not too much and so on, but from my reading I know that you shouldn't be gentle on it always sometimes you need to give it a hard time.

also i am on the home straight only 150 k left to go on my 1000, but when i put the foot down there is boost but just not much power.

makes me sad.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
