hit there i have an idea instead of turboing my na 33 gts-4, since these machines came out with the gtr driveline i was wondering if i could get a gtr block and head then biuld a motor up, i want to use the sump from my gts-4 to keep it awd but am afraid none of this is allowed in s.a and the car will need to be engineered, the engine will take a while to biuld as a lot of the parts are going to cost an arm and a leg(tomei and such) but i am hoping to chase at least 320-400kw from all of this. i will contact lmg to do the tuning anf fitment as they are great at this sort of stuff, can anyone recommend cams,cranks and injectors casically any good brand and part to run in this engine.

cheers... michael

or

you could simply rebuild your current motor

ie

Forged rods & pistons

head gasket to suit

bearings

crank work

studs

cams

feul setup

injectors

pump

feul reg

then obviously the turbo setup

something like the GT35/40

or you could put an rb26 setup.....

all depends

well your sump is a GTR one

im rebuilding my engine at the moment mate with 50thou pistons and the bottom end is GTR where it meets the sump and RWD where it meets the head to suit the rb25 head......basically and honestly a gts-4 is a mongrel to work with in parts. If you were to buy a rb26dett you would need to look into a bolt in job as i know that

DIMENSIONS (L x W x H) (mm). NOTE* this is manual, auto engines have different dimensions

rb25de:2wd 845x595x680

rb25de:4wd 845x595x690

rb26dett: 870x656x675

there may need to be some work with the engine mounts but a rb26dett will be able to sit snug in height, the placement of turbos and such are going to probity be placed far away from stock engine bays specs and you may find that your going to have to build a rb26 thats gona look different in the engine bay. Also part wise you will be able to find some GREAT parts just as cheap as a gts-4 part and make 400KW for half the price with EZZEEEEEE :banana:

even i know that 320-400kw out of n/a engine is just stupidity and not even possible.

even if u do get a 2.8l stroker kit and forged pistons/con rods and bigger cams

most defiantly

2.8l stroker kit and CUSTOM forged pistons(ones with unique crowns that are higher than factory/conrods and bigger cams, Custom exhaust system from extractors to tip, 6 cylinder DCOE 52/48mm (some ridiculous injectors to make requirements of air to fuel Ratio, porting the head, increasing the heads face to an overall compression ratio to 11:1, nitrous-oxide SYSTEM (correct injectors to support this again ..... more matching!!!), MSD ignition modules, ECU ....... other bits and bats yeah i reckon 300kw N/A is possible with the money and right parts

NOT WORTH IT!!!! no even for show. it will just cost so much in fuel and insurance and stuff. MissR34 + 1 with the stupidity

its not na if you use nos, NOS is a type of forced induction

mick is this your first car and are you on your P's?

that sort of power is HUGE on the street, if you havent been in a car with that sort of power, i suggest you start talking to people that do and get them to take you for a spin, its bloooody quick. Its very easy to type numbers but honestly you dont need much more than 300kw's for the street, thats plenty.

Have a read around for r33 gtst, see what people have done to get certain power levels, everything engine wise you learn from the rb25det's can be used for your engine.

Also if you want around the 400kw mark, whilst your gearbox internally is the same as a gtr your rear diff definately isnt. They run the smaller axles (same as the gts skylines) and with that sort of power you'll definately start braking drivetrain parts.

its not na if you use nos, NOS is a type of forced induction

people debate if nitrous-oxide is forced and its not forced induction :D

just mixes in with the fuel. Just another liquid added to the car which is why i include its input to kW's. Then again i get what your saying and it isnt seen as forced induction in racing but drives are to state yes or no to there cars if there run on nitrous-oxide because its got its own category just for that type of ........ 'enhancement'. Who knows what natural not even plain old ron98 is :cheers:

agreed with the amount of kW you want for a street car????

if so a 400Kw street car is seen as a work of art getting on the road. Also difficult to drive just because all the parts are going to have to be fairly heavy duty with that power and not street friendly. if your after a street car look how far you can go at making it a desired car with power and comfort for driving because if you make a mistake with the power you most likely wont make money back selling the car or parts to quieten down your car.

thanks for the replies, gtfour a mate at work has a xr6 that made 495+kw at the wheels loosing traction on dyno and is street legal(it can make up to 600rwkatw if the box was done), its quick, i am not after that sort of figure and your right 300kw is what i want to start of with this isn't my first car ive owned a few and am on my p's, as far as i know s.a has no laws bout p platers and hi powered cars as of yet.

money wise is not an option as i can work 12 hour days 13 days thats easy(sort of hard being an apprentice working in the mines). i am also thinking of building the motor up then selling my skyline then buying a gts-t and putting it in, as ive been told that a single turbo engine can make more power than twin in some cases. dont know bout that??.

anyway i will probebly buy a engine then go from there.

cheers... michael

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
