Correction:

"On a worked engine like this, using very close to -5 turbos, I'd estimate around the 3800-4100rpm range. Once up in the revs and racing, boost will be there full time."

What fuel did they run in Group A racing?

whats your definition of "full use" how exactly do u define "full use" on the street?

-5s are the biggest you would go on a 2.6L engine, anything bigger is gonna be rubbish

if your worried about response but still want decent power, get some GT-SS's or -9s

full use as in not waiting till 4000 RPMfor boost to come on, Next thing you know your at 180kph,

-9's seem the way to go, 350kw would still be achievable with -9's and supporting mods.

thats probably why Paul recommended a stroker if u wanna go the dash -5s

but yes -9s will do 350rwkw with the correct supporting mods

If you don't want to wait then its -9s

Read the 300-330rwkw thread mate, there is simply soooo much info. No need to talk about it in this thread.

Read the existing ones, they have more than enough information for you.

GTFO with your 300kw talk.

+1 Dave. So sick of the "how do I raise my boost for free" shit threads and people wanting mega power on a shoestring budget lately!

How's your setup coming along for power cruise? Give us some good news!!!

N1GTR if you had bugger all cash would you settle for stock power? Or would you get as much as you could get?

I think what Steve (n1gtr) is saying these engines have been deveolped since 1989 and there is no magical cure for power for nothing , ive owed 5 gtr's over the years and things have gotten cheaper but getting power and moding a gtr/rb26 is not cheap you can get good power fairly easily / relitively cheap , but go over certain power and prepare to get wallet raped !my 2c

^pretty much exactly my point. Horsepower isn't free, and as Aaron mentioned there comes a point at which these cars go from a reliable fun toy which doesnt cost much to an all out black hole for money. Spending within a persons means is fine-good on people who do that, but I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about the increase in people who for example bolt on a highflow turbo, fmic, injectors etc then won't spend money on a quality ecu or quality tune and wonder why the car drives like crap.

Anyway, this is off topic, anyone in this thread with 400kw plus understands the expense and is under no illusion that certain things can't be done on the cheap :)

Exactly right, Aaron. I know more than a handful of GTR's that had $80-$100K spent on them to get over 400kw 20 years ago.

These days it is fairly easy to get 350-400kw on a low budget. Chase 500kw+ and things start to add up fairly quickly.

If you keep the power at a moderate level it should be sustainable. Then again, u hear of ppl popping engines with less than 300kw but many variables come into play such as poor tune. These work horse engines are 20+ yrs old hence a refesh should take place...whilst you are at it, u may as well set aside 20k for a solid donk with more powaaaaaa

HaHa , think im one of those 20years ago people , but like steve said anyone that has done it knows and people that have done it are just trying to help the virgins !

Getting some stuff done at Speedfab, should be back at JEM by the end of the week to get all bolted up.

Cutting it fine as usual. :rolleyes:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
