How does a combo like that go on the street, response and driveability wise (T88) ?

I'm pushing 330kw Atm and have turned into a bit of a power whore.. Lol

So im considering going the t88 route with one of the smaller rears, any advice ?

Cheers,

Mitch.

On the street, can't be good.

Considering nothing really happens until 150km/h, doesn't really suit a street driven purpose - if you want a fast streeter.

If you take off in 3rd, maybe...

Oh come on, a 400rwkw+ setup being fast on the street?

Please... a 330-350rwkw setup will always be the more streetable setup in the hills and so on.

The bigger power setup will "feel" faster, because its nothing nothing nothing - boom - there we go...

Feeling and actually being fast = not the same.

Completely and utterly disagree - by far the fastest street car I have ever been in was making around 480awkw when I went in it. Not just top speed stuff, just everywhere. RB30DET running 1.8bar with a hearty turbo etc... in an R33 GTR. Nuts, at any speed. I liked :P

I'm sort of tossing up between 34 N1, GT-RS and T88,

Obviously im a fan of twins :P who isnt :( ?

But im willing to go big single if it will push me into the 450awkw area....

Say if the T88 will give boost by 5, so i can rev it out to 8 or 9k, thats not such a bad powerband, especially considering all the power you pick up right ?

Cheers,

Mitch.

Nee-san - im assuming yoiu have R34 N1s/GT-SS's/-7s or -9s currently???

On a properly built motor you can get around 400rwkw from lowmounts, just the usual Garrett -5's which would just be a bolt on/off affair for you.

Probably the best of both worlds from the sound of your posts.

We are talking 2.6ltr's far as i know as it sounds like Nee-san does not have a stroker/3ltr setup currently :(

I'd agree different motors/setups could be better depending, just not in this particular case.

Steve I did just find this thread LOL :P and all i will say is this...

If i ever lose to a low mount gtr on the street i would set fire to my GTR!!!

If your interest is in hill climbs etc etc you like response stick with your boring low mounts...

R31Nismoid what are you going about?? How isn't a 400+ kw gtr not fast on the street??

I got friends who love low mounts etc etc and they dont stand a chance.....

Well I run a TRUST 6 SPEED DOG box which is a close ratio gearbox.

Car drives really well and isn't sluggish at all,Driving a single turbo gtr is the best feeling. I will never go back to twins!

If you do decide to go ahead with a t88. there are so many options you can use. T88-33D (15cm/18cm), T88-34D (15cm/18cm/22cm)

I got got like two kits here i am not using atm so if you want one let me know.

R31...you said that nothing really happens until 150km/h with the T88. I completely disagree, and hence my post. Once its on boost its on for young and old...

if you want to look at it that way, nothing happens untill 4000 where it starts to build boost, you hit full boost at 5500 and then its wheel spin for the first 4 gears.

Hey Guys, Bit of a can of worms this one !

R31Nismoid, I have 33 N1's at the moment on a 2.7 litre overbore, i do love the idea of -5's as alot of the boys on here have some very impressive results however i might be looking for a touch more power then what they will put out.

T88 ON BOARD, do you find that the close ration really wakes the car up, or would it be ok on the standard ratio/box ?

As for that video, that 34 R is a f**king animal ! is that your beasty is it ?

Thanks for all the input boys !

Cheers,

Mitch.

Nah not my car just thought of that vid and shared :P My beast is asleep atm resting up haha!! But it drives like that...

The close ratio box is the best thing for it it is so alive and responsive, eg. When im cruising in 3rd and put my foot down it will want to come on boost straight away.

I have the standard 5 speed currently in it and it has become alittle sluggish longer ratio's but its not so bad..just annoying for me as im used to the dogbox i run. If i was to run a standard 5speed ratio dogbox (ppg) i would put GTS-4 diff gears in which would be fun :(

Mitch End of the day your at limits with lowmounts if your chasing power! and a faster car...Single or Twin Highmounts is what you need if you are serious for power.

You speaketh the truth :D

I suppose ill have to pull my finger out and start getting shit done on my little 4wd datto ;)

I guess that means "something" is happening then... (be it actually useful or not i don't know)... my bad :P

Just a bit of discussion - hardly a can. If you want a can of worms... ask about what cams to use for 380rwkw lol :P

Ok so it is a stroker... getting there with the info... any other hidden informationzzzz???

If you are after a tad more than it seems to be T04Z country for you, 440rwkw easily enough :D

Do you have the larger rear R33 N1's? I've never heard of the smaller R33/R32 N1's getting much over 300rwkw unless they have the Nismo rear housing or similar (ie larger).

Although i disagree with low-mounts being unable to make big power.

We've seen 440rwkw from Garrett -5's before on a super 2.9ltr, and GT-RS's will do over 400rwkw as well.

little of topic, Was wondering whats the powder loss % for 4WD to RWD, if the GTR makes 450KW at all 4 wheels whats that in rwkw,

450rwkw, its same same really.

Paul and a few others have tested it, not much of a difference with factory transfer cases.

Once you modify them it changes a bit however.

Nee-San, see if there are any built gtr's with those turbos you mentioned, in your area who have owners happy to take you for a spin

some like the rush of a single in a straight line, other like more usable power delivery for corners/hills.

It's a never ending debate, for example I tried a single, and while it was fun my car is mainly used for cornering sort of roads and the lag meant it was too slow. Switched to GTRS's and very happy, tuning hasn't finished and it's already at 400kw. Sure every now and then I have a craving for driving a single powered one (and luckily have friends that let me drive theirs), but overall very happy with the RS's as they're not too laggy (400kw @ 6000rpm), and have a nice smooth curve

there's a lot of graphs in the dyno result thread in this area, that's definatly worth a read :P

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.

    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
