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:

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
