My car is finally going in to be tuned by Mercury Motorsports next friday the 18th and I just felt like sharing my excitement with everyone, lol. its been a very expensive 4 months and I will be happy with 270rwkw, although I am told they might be able to get 300rwkw out of her with the mods I got. And I hope to make the motor last as long as possible.

I plan on running around everyday on 9psi and cranking it upto whatever they tune it to when I need the extra grunt. I know 300rwkw is nothing special, but for me its 4 months of pain and suffering paying off finally. I will be at the East Coast Customs dyno day and I cant wait to hear it screaming away on the dyno with new turbo.

anyways, hope to meet a few more of you around the traps when I finally get back out and about :D

haha i am in the same situation as you man.

I havent been able to drive my car since february last year. 5 months waiting for my car to get out of the workshop, and now its at a dyno to see what happens.

300rwkw is my goal being still standard internals, but have a forged engine getting done at the moment.

Been fairly stressed out most of the time hahaha, but hope everything pays off. Best of luck for your car.

You have all the parts to make it... You will get 300rwkw at around 19 psi no worries on stock head and cams...

yeh i just going to be happy with anything over 270 atm until something breaks and i can throw in some forged gear. and do some head work

good to hear buddy, hope it all goes to plan. mine should be rolling on the road soon after yours. but not that much power to start.

nice one. u must be cheering hey?

its relieving to know i'll finally be at the point of achieving the first stage of the build up. most of the work was done by my housemate and myself. I got the intake and dump pipe done at Predator. so its good to know that some of my own blood and sweat has gone into it.

Yeah mate, fresh rebuild most of the things under the bonnet will be new. or near new. and alot of my time and time of people helping me has gone into it. it has been a to two workshops, once for painting and the other for piping, wiring, and some more. but the rest is and will be done in the shed.

i hope it makes it more satisfiying when i drive it.

i reckon you would get between 220 and 250rwkw. I knew someone up the coast with that turbo, full aftermarket ecu, 850cc injectors, z32 etc making about 275rwkw on an rb25

Its always great to do the work yourself, I hope you get your power but are you aware that over 250kw they are prone to failure? The ringlands are the weakest link in a stock motor but when they fail it is not usually horrific, I have run mine at 370hp (280kw) but with water/metanol for safety, it reduces pinging and gives me much smoother boost.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

Here is a pic of busted ringlands, the motor was sweet except for this.

i am going to be running that turbo on the 25, with z32, fmic, zhaust, nismo fuel reg, nismo fuel pump.

forged engine though, on 10 psi i want 230ish rwkw. so you should make a little less then that on 16 ish. Dr Drift(sam) will let you know where the car in comfortable to run it at.

Hey man

300kw nothing special? I just started out and had my first dyno ever yesterday. Got 122kw atw for an auto R33. If i had 220kw atw i would be giggling daily. Congratulations mate, glad you achieved your goal. Must be happy times round your place. ;)

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
