Hey I just got a 98 gtr vspec with -5s n cat back, once I finish the exshust n do a full remap I hope I get some better power, but my main goal is 350awkw so the hunt for parts begins lol do you think I could break a 11 sec pass??

You should be able to do high 11's on the factory turbos (260-270rwkw). R32 GTR's have run mid 11 with the factory items, R34's are a bit heavier so a high 11/low 12

350rwkw you are looking deep 11/high 10's but it all comes down to driving, launch, tyres etc

GT2860-7 or 9's

Nistune or powerfc

panel filter

front pipe

decent cat

injectors if your aiming much over 300kw to BE SAFE, std r32 injectors are getting a big long in the tooth and can leak.

300-330rwkw easy, it kinda the stable mod diet for a R32 or R33 GTR nowadys.

who said -5s are stock turbos?

and how do you define "better"? more power? more responsive?

I think your misinterpreting Dagz's poorly constructed previous post, it actually says I have Garrett -5's which are better than stock turbo's.

I would assume better = more power in this case (and non-ceramic exhaust wheels :) )

Personally I want 2860-9's at some point in this year but I'm not so interested in drag times, more in street/track response where I drive on the street more often than the track :)

Hi mate. I would decide if it is going to be a predominantly street car, or track and street car.

I have a 33 GTR. Initially stock. Put exhaust, filters, removed boost restrictor - was good for 240RWKW. It was awesome for the street, and in my opinion perfect for a daily driver. Lightning response, pleasure to drive every day. On the track though, boost came on super early, but like a light switch, meaning it would get messy if you nailed it coming out of a corner (Im sure this could have been corrected with a power FC and good tune).

Then added 2860-9 turbos, power FC, oil cooler, and cam gears for an easy 280RWKW on a Racepace safe tune. In comparison, it actually feels a little slower on the street. And I emphasise feels. Only because it requires more road to wind up the turbos which are slightly less responsive. On the track it is way way better, boost comes on early but progressively for great control out of corners, with a fat and elastic mid range. Wouldn't push a 32 too much more that this sort of tune unless you budget for a rebuilt in the future.

Cheers,

Luke.

I have a 32 and I bought a pair of -5's but before I install I am going to swap them for a pair of -9's. I think standard engines just can't see the big power that -5 are capable of. As such go for the slightly more responsive turbo, which will give power without stretching a standard motor.

Along with this I have the following

- CES Race pipes (already have 3.5" cat back)

- Larger 4" cat

- Cam Gears

- Power FC and 550cc injectors, Blitz EBC (installed in car for some time now)

- Will get nismo or tomei fuel pump

- A bit of ceramic coating turbine housings and manifolds

Will hopefully see at least 300rwkw at around 1.3bar.

PS. start saving for a rebuild too

is asking 400rwhp for a street driven(occasional skid pan etc) R34 RB26DETT asking too much from it internally. I am aware the R34 RB26 is the "strongest" of the bunch, but what are its limits?

Is it safe to run a 34R with a exhaust(front pipe, cat, catback) change, pod filters, EBC @ 14 psi WITHOUT any changes to factory computer? for example one wouldnt dare do that to a WRX unless one had a rebuild/new engine on standby :P

Snowman ran 330rwkw for i think 2.5years (lots of circuit/street) and it failed. Only one example though.

You might as well get a PFC mate, for $900 - why not? :P

Factory R34 turbos will only give you around 250rwkw either way - although depends how much of a risk taker you are.

I wouldn't run factory turbos @ 14psi... I would be fearful of turbo death (which leads to motor usually)... so 12psi would be where i'd stop factory turbos.

Yes i realise the above is conservative, but it's better than a dead motor if you dont plan to ever rebuild

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
