In a few weeks i am getting my new turbos put into my car (R33 GTR) :blink: They are GT2860r-7's. I am also getting my exhaust replaced at the same time. I have Tomei dumps, 3 inch Do-Luck front pipes, 3.5 inch cat, and a 3.5inch Do-Luck cat back.

My car is stock at the moment and was dynoed at 181KW at all 4.

My question is what sort of power increase can i expect from this upgrade? And what PSI/BAR should my turbos be set at? I assume since i dont have a manual or electronic boost controller that the boost can be set on the actuators? Im thinking 1 BAR will be fine and still keep my engine in good safe working order.

Cheers for any help :down:

18-20psi you should see around 300 at all four with management.

You make no mention of management however, so if you dont have any...

1bar - 250 at all four.

Bit of a waste running 1bar with those turbos though, get some management

The plan is to get a Power FC when i have the money ready. Im just trying to get my car back on the road after it being off the road for 6 months with stuffed turbos.

I dont really like the idea of being to close to 300KW just for the fact that if my engine goes i cant afford to rebuild it at the moment im trying to save for a house aswell :blink:

  • 3 weeks later...
I finally got my car back today with everything fitted and no more exhaust smoke either :)

I managed to get 232awkw @ 14PSI

That is great for a stock GTR.....

PFC will only get you another 20 to 30 AWKW's.....

I run the gt-ss turbos on my stock r32 gtr at 307rwkw with a safe tune and blew up no.6 piston within 3000km. Don't do it mate. Run about 270-280rwkw to be safe.

wahhhtttttttttttt im scared to install my GT2860 -5s now ;)

once you get the power FC you should see an easy 290-300rwkw with 18psi..i think that would be safe. 232awkw is what you would expect from standard turbo's at 14psi

Cooper,

You in Adelaide mate? Whos doing the work on your car?

Cheers,

Big Mike

Yeah im in Adelaide, Graham West Workshop (Adelaide Performance Engineers) did the work.

If i wanted 16 PSI would it be as easy as adjusting the nuts on the actuators? since i dont have a boost controller. How much would i have to wind them out?

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
