3037 S uses standard exhaust manifold with custom HKS dump as will the 2835.

Will I loose much more bottom end with a GT-rs? as compared to 2835/3037

I would also like to know how much torque these various turbo's will produce (i have planned to install 260 degree poncams aswell)

Anyone know?

if your interested in dragging, why would you even consider a gtrs?

im not a fan of them at all.

way to much money for way to little return.

my opinion only

on a stock bottom end 3037

on a built bottom end gt3582

im running the latter with poncams and i can see 5 psi at 2500rpm

but i can also sit on 100 kph in second gear being auto, floor it and instantly the tyres light up at 100 kph,

it changes into drive and the speedo goes of the clock. in around 2 seconds. (keeps the crowd happy)

a gtrs struggles to spin the wheels at all.

great turbo to have purchased.

I have one on my JZX81 1JZ-GTE. awsome torque and great power throughout the rev range.

Mine makes around 290+rwkw on 16psi.

Then again my engine has a few more toys inside and out.

Will be keeping an eye on your posts to see what you get out of it with Martins skills behind it.

Goodluck

Sry to side track your thread man but would like to know a bit more about 32 4whore's set up as im going for similar power figures. Like are you running standard internals?

Got a retune yesterday by a well known member off this forum with a wideband and Datalogit now running 18psi and made 273.9rwkw on Aussies Dyno Hindmarsh today (previously 258 on their dyno). Cheers mate

Adrian, is that a suggestion to Lee to switch over to E85, or are you asking was the 273.9rwkw figure from switching to E85? My guess is the new power figure is still on 98RON petrol.

Lee, nice result. I bet the torque increase feels good too. Add another couple of psi, some mild (256-264 region) cams and you'll go close to 300.

Speaking of E85; I've got a new fuel rail (14mm o'ring - chromed and gleaming) a brand spankers set of 910cc Siemens and have just wired up some new connectors to suit. Now I just have to wait until the 06 Jan to tune it all. I don't think I'll need to upgrade injectors ever again. I started out with 780cc in mind, then decided to go for 870cc... then the 910's popped up.

Hi Matt

was just a suggestion,

are you going to do back to back testing still? If you dont mind me asking what did the custom rail and injectors set you back?

I need to think about an upgrade, at the moment my 740's have about 46 psi base and 50 psi when the pump steps up!

E85

Definately considering it Adrian.......After going for a ride in your beast it has got me thinking maybe in the new year we can sort it out with my current mods if your keen.

Still running BP Ultimate and Adrian is wanting to tune E85 (hence the post) in the old girl i'm just a bit put off with availability of the fuel at the moment

The torque has jumped from 6200 to 6800 tractive effort so definately a nice push in the back.

I may have not followed this thread properly but, has the block on Lee's car been cracked opened?

Has the head gasket been changed?

Still standard motor (unopened) running a nice safe tune.

Hey mate. Cool, I was 99% sure that was the case.

That's still the plan.

The rail is a straight swap between another BW customer - he needed an 11mm top-feed and I a 14mm. Worked out nicely. My old rail usually retails for ~$250 from James at Nisspeed - comes in either 11 or 14mm. James has one of each sitting on the shelf, I saw them on Saturday (13th Dec).

The injectors came through a workshop owner mate of mine, he ordered them in for a customer and then they decided to go for 1000+cc stuff. He said ~$80-90ea, RRP is usually ~$100-120. I've had the injectors for a few days and I'm just about to go and give him the dollars now, so I'll find out the exact price shortly. Either way $100-120 isn't a bad price for a new top quality injector.

$250 for a rail, $600-720 x 6 injectors, and some fittings and fuel line and you're good to go, be it 400hp or 1000hp. A set of direct fit Sard/Nismo/HKS etc. Side-feed injectors may or may not be cheaper, depending on the AU-Yen exchange rate at the moment.

I see you had some good results with E85 RB25DETS2.

323rwkw out of the .6 rear, std top end, std exh. manifold. Damn impressive. :)

Yeah thanks mate the thing is a completely different car. I would like to think that i had something to do with it but in reality 180or200 tuned the old girl and put me on to the fuel so he deserves all the credit. Very happy with it to say the least. Standard airbox also might be starting to choke it a bit.

Well done Lee & Adrian.

Can you list the mods that were required for the changeover?

Cheers Pete,

The only mod required was a decent fuel system to support the extra flow needed and a decent tune. I will be changing my Fuel filter after the first couple of tanks just incase it has picked up some crap.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
