Have you done back to backs to prove they are a restriction?

(and not some flow bench rubbish)

Reason i say this is because if you can make over 400rwkw on them (stock) they cant be too bad :(

You should start a "What parts you do not need for 400kW" thread. I know what you are getting at but this bloke has spent some money on his car you do not need to bring him down a peg by saying what he does not need.

I get it all the time with engine builds...they want this part and that part in there...and when i find out they are chasing 350kw i try and tell them to spend their money elsewhere. But at the end of the day you cannot convince them so i just let them go and spend spend spend.

Aftermarket rods in a GTR is a perfect example as most of the chinese offerings would in my opinion be on par if not worse than prepped stockers. GTR stock rods simply don't bend or break because they are weak...its always something else that makes them go.

sorry to be off topic.

Well he claimed they were a restriction, and I think that is wrong.

So quite rightfully it should be questioned as to how one actually knows they are (when its been pretty well proven… they are not)

It was more about incorrect information than anything else.

Its nice to have fancy parts if you have lots of money :)

Its like having a $500 car and a $150,000 car. They will still get you to the same place @ the same time… its just one is more stylish than another and good for the person that can do it in a 150k car, they worked hard for it no doubt

Looks the goods mate :) Im very interested to see what numbers you pull! I had a set of these put on my car 2 weeks ago and made 258rwkw on 14 psi and 316rwkw on 18psi on a Mainline dyno, but i used match ported standard manifolds and HKS split dumps and D-Jectro. Good luck and i hope all goes well :(

i would have hoped for more power then that from the -5's? i have 280rwkw @ 15psi on r34 turbos.. but my engine is forged with cams, what turbos would ppl suggest to make 340-360rwkw

and stock manifolds are fine for up to that power then?

Agreed, except the the part about getting the same place at the same time in a $500 and $150,000 car, haha.

I would go for ported and coated standard manifolds if it were me. The only thing that would put me off would be the age of the manifolds themselves and their resistance to cracking, everything has a fatigue life!

i thought that was a bit low on low boost to? maybe because its running rich? same tune as the 316kw run?

my turbos should be here tomorrow will be a couple of weeks befor i get them on tho :)

i just changed the manifolds because i could afford to do it

no other reason but to my untrained eye they look like the flow path is better

please dont burn me down for using them

just like being gay = your choice

lol

Not burning you for using em, it was much more interesting to see the gasket in your pics with the difference size to the turbine housing size (they were markedly different), so i can see why when i was told the turbine housing was the problem in the gtr setup... how its true and stuff.

Car was first tuned at 14psi, then tuned again the next morning with a boost controller installed at 18psi, the first tune was not fully set up till the next day and i did not get a dyno printout for the low boost after its full tune.

good work on the pictures, it is a fun job i have done turbos before and about to put the -5 turbos on my gtr, along with a new gearbox :) lucky i just cleared my hoist for some room.

you have a hoist!

i want to do that when i buy my next house that has a yard

Wow, that was all really interesting to read. I'll re state. The 'restriction' is there, as you can see by the gasket marks on the standard turbo flange and manifold flanges. The power is not restricted, but the spool response is improved when you match these flanges. In a GTR with bigger turbos I'm finding anything that improves the spool response to be a lot of benefit.

Yeah, I think that's where a lot of people are confused. The manifolds aren't a power restriction so much as a restriction of response.

just looking at mine then....

there is a fair amount a few mm that could be taken off the inlet comp housing to match the gasket did you do this as well?

i guess i would have to measure up the pipe that bolts onto it first....

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By Duncan · Posted

      Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?

      Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
