Hi everyone. what would be the best engine specs for a r33 gts-t using rb25det that is for the track. i guess what i mean is.... whats the best combo for power to weight. i'm not just after kw i want to built (or stock standard ?) a reliable/strong/ balanced/smooth rb25det engine for track and drift. .... i was thinking neo with minor mods, am i right?

Age old question - how much power and how serious about weight reduction...

one does offset the other.

The motorsport section does have some good threads on this actually - have a check through that section also mate

A 2835 bagging you about 260-270rwkws or perhaps a 30307ProS running a bit less boost using the std manifold would be my pick for a reliable and quick track GTSt.

Oh, and sick R31, the DJR Sierra was quicker over a lap in qualifying :( The VL Walkinshaw beat it at Bathust in 1990 so lets not take this off thread on the first page. :P

If this is a serious thread then i would do as follows:

Strip the car completely

Cage

Good suspension package

Larger sump

Upgraded oil pump

And all the bolt ons for about the 450hp range.

Should be a fun track car. And relatively cheap.

"A circuit car for the track"

:blink:

lol

On a more serious note, by what you've written I am guessing you haven't been to the track many times.

I would suggest going to the track lots of times and slowly modding the car in the process so its right for you...

End goal for a track car- make it as light as possible which will mean you need smaller brakes and less power to go fast than keeping it full weight. You will also chew through less R compound tyres which are very expensive.

Mods: Wide wheels with good R comp tyres, I would then probably stick a hks2835/garrett 3071R t3 with cams and supporting mods and get some proper suspension, swaybars, camber/toe/castor rods and put a good set of pads and then just keep winding in more boost until you have enough power.

I would do the suspension and brake modifications first before adding any more power at all. Its pretty hard to learn in a car that is too much better/faster than your ability. (evo exempted :P)

buy my car and put an oil cooler on it, strip interior and maybe go stiffer in the suspension... HKS 2835, Brembos, R34 GTR wheels, Cusco diff, swaybars, Bilsteins (too soft for serious track work), Hi Energy bigger/baffled sump, N1 pumps, GTR rods, etc etc

seriously I am taking delivery of a GTR on Fri so I want it gone... 14K and its yours, another 1-2K spent on it and you have yourself a nice package

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
