Not 100% sure.....Stock dumps, SS Y piece,then 3.5" SS system through a brand new hi-flow cat, then to the rear canon. Not sure if it has a hotdog in there, but I don't think so. It's not toooo noisy, but clearly if I had CHiPs on my tail I might be sweating it a bit.....

OK, here we go.

The 'small' Garrett turbos (7s)

Power FC

Tomei 700cc injectors

Adjustable cam wheels

Forged pistons

Full bottom end re-build

Oil cooler

Large capacity aluminium radiator

Approx. 305 RWKW and a shitload of torque.

Now thats what im talking about; that is my future mod list appart from the oil cooler and radiator.

305rwkw; about 280awkw? Not too bad at all.

Thanks mate. If you're tracking it, keeping engine temps down is vital or your mega $$ rebuild will come around again sooner than you want.

Just a street car man; my oil temps right now never go over 88degrees. I have it tuned ATM with stock turbines to 255awkw and really like the response so ill definitely be going -7 or -ss when the yen comes back up.

How would you, taking the first drive till now rate the -7's in terms of standard response? ive read alot on this site about the -7's but prefer to hear from actual owners.

Torque at low rpm is what im interested in and removal of that top end post 7000rpm restriction from stockers.

how high do your oil temps get on the track anyways

Really hard to say about the difference with the tubos as it was a couple of years ago when they went on. Stuffed if I can remember. When they went on the car went from 190RWKW to 260 RWKW so it all felt pretty damn good! I don't recall feeling any additional lag when they went on. Never driven anything else so can't comment on the 5s. I would like more top end in mine, but I might already have that, but with so much mid-range torque it might be masking what is actually a good top end perfomance. Just want that last mad rush for the limiter. Might also be the tune. Tuner has said it's tuned for torque as it makes the car quicker (in real world situations) in almost all but flat stick applications (which never happen as often as you think).

I've heard journos challenging each other to keep the trottle pinned for more than 15 seconds in a Veyron as it is apparently almost impossible unless you've got a runway at your disposal. Same, but to less extent, might apply to the old GTR. Wide open for long periods = not very often.

Oh yeah, oil temp about 100-110 on the track.

Thanks for the impression man, im sure the top end is better than stock though. Maybe some cams may open the topend without sacrificing the mid; i know that in my old s15 some stage 1 HKS cams were fantastic.

15 second in a veyron would be like about 200mph, i think its 0-300 in 14seconds so if your already doing 60kph and flat foot for 15seconds you would be going 350kph and thats not exactly comforting lolz.

Only certain sections of the autobahn would be possible!!!

100-110 would freak me out on the road, when i get the new turbos if my temps go anymore than 95degrees then ill definitely grab an oil cooler.

Amazing looking car you have though, the r32 gtr is just sooooo aggresive like twoogle and a few members on this site.

100 to 110 depending on the oil grade [i.e 10 w 40] should still be pretty safe. mine went up to 113 degrees on a track day with 35 degree heat. Thats about the max i think you would ever want to run. if it was always that warm [air temp] i would def go for an oil cooler. will be interesting to find out what oil temp will be on say a 23 degree day. A friends 997 on the day ran up to 130 degree's. no problems- yet anyway. If you get a cooler, get a thermostat. Oil under 75-80 wont do you any favours. wanna know more have a look on gtr.co.uk. look for a thread by oilman. full of really good info

My old 32 looked identical to this one. Always flamed 3rd to 4th. and night time mountain runs were brilliant, it always lit up the cliff face!!

'a mountain pass lighting up the cliff faces with flames!' seems like a scene from fast n furious 4 :P

130degrees in a porsche.....wow! must be some heavy grade factory stuff

Does anyone know the benefits of the boxer engines when it comes to lubrication????? :) (lateral g'z and temp)

Yeah well there was no CGI Johnny, let me assure you!! :P

The porka's was running very warm, the fans belted out hot air by the front wheels for about 5 minutes. There must be two radiators/thermo fans in those things up front.. Not sure the advantages of the boxer setup though...

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
