At this stage later this week I'm having the power fc, ebc and cam wheels installed and tuned (gtr) I have full exhaust and k&n panel insert. What else do you think I should do at this stage with these mods? Oil air separator maybe?

CAS will be doing the job.

thanks

Simmo

clutch is done, will most likely do oil air at the same time.

I still have standard turbos, so will probably keep the boost around 18 psi, fuel system should be adequate afaik.

:confused:

dont think so, he asked "what else would you do at this stage"

IMHO, if you have all these mods, its probably time to learn how to make th most of them.

18 PSI is too much boost - you will either break your turbos or break your engine.... I hope it will be your turbos cause it will be cheaper to repair .

I like Duncan's recomendation.

Won't have much money left then hey?

Ceramic turbos should be limited to 1 bar or so.

If I had a GT-R, my first option would be a HKS electric torque controller.

But basic suspension mods like adjustable dampers, pineapples would be nice.

T.

Suspension, wheels and brakes are done. Straight line performance has been the last thing on the list, although I'll be reviewing the suspension, I'm not completely happy.

CAS know how to charge, but can you recommend me someone that will do a better job?

driver training? You don't need this when you have a gtr, a gtr will teach you how to drive, I swear my car talks to me!

thanks heaps guys.

Done

I'm very happy with the results and the service from CAS

I went in with 170kw @tw @17psi in the morning, and in the afternoon I had 215 kw @18psi.

...and everything happens earlier, its so much nicer to drive!

thanks

Simmo

Nice to see you have some quality mods on my old car Simon:D

Check my sig for where we are at with mine.

btw , Micko with another of my old ones is punching 400rwhp with just a pair of 2530's and a Power FC.:);)

That should get you thinking.......

Hehe

Cheers

Simmo, just a few questions....R u running a single-plate with ur new clutch, R u on the stock cooler? U should be around 400 plus hp @ the fly with this set-up (Very nice! ) I wouldn't worry about bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump till you go the GT2530s.:uh-huh:

mmmm 2530's

Simmo

The Nismo 581's I bought from Chris Salas ( and had to o/haul )

If I keep the car , will prolly wind up the wick to 1.3 bar and see what she does. The 550cc injectors are at 70% but the pump is starting to feel it...

Cheers

Ken

Yeah still using single plate, not sure how long it will last but seams fine so far. yep stock cooler, stock airbox with kn panel. I calculated roughly 390hp flywheel, not ready for more yet, everything happens so much faster!!

you have a gtr coming yeah?

Cheers

    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
