As in, on the street, you're not likely to see boost, unless you wind it up in 2 - 3 gears first.

however you are most likely to find small birds in your engine bay..

we really need pics of you naked to help...

:P

have you ever driven a turbo car? since your NA and all...

and i believe a fence post jumped out in front of you before, well even with a standard turbo that fence post will be lodged in your front bar allot quicker.

sorry to be harsh, but you have to think logically, best option as someone else said neo turbo motor dropped in and leave it and learn to drive it.

Frank answer... yes that turbo will do the job, you already know that tho, you can look up the rating on a turbo anywhere,

Is your engine at that turbo a good package to use to do the job? No, its dumb, nothing personal, no "your a girl and dont know better" just from one skyline owner to another.

Using an NA package and converting it to turbo and then going for big power is really just an exercise in spending. anythings possible if you spend enough on it.

BUT, it wont be reliable.

Better compromise, get a 25det neo engine and drop that in, use that as a base, you'll still have issues and spend lots, but you might spend a little less in the long run.

If, like climbing a mountain, your doing it "cos i can" then dont ask... just do it... spend the cash, the time and live with the results. you'll get your power for some period of time.... then you'll do something else.

Now think, other that "Huzzah!!! i gots powah!!!" what are you really hoping to acheive?

I agree with what everyone is saying, I think you should look at dropping in a neo turbo engine to begin with. I think the power level your chasing from the get go is unreasonable, not because its unacheivable but because there are so many things to factor into the build rather than "Im building a show car and I want this much power" There are plenty of insane cars out there running less power than this, plenty of show cars out there running less power than this and it seems that all your chasing is the "aw factor".

Also try to do some research on cars that use the t51r, I believe the godzilla motorsports 32 GTR runs the t51r SPL, research some 34 GTT's that are making good power. You will get more satisfaction from a gt2835 or hi flow on the street than you will t51r.

If I was in your position, building a fast streeter id be going hi mount 35 series turbo, but thats just me.

She's not building a streeter, she's building a show pony. Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh, and MISSR34 did you ever find your missing KWs that your knock sensors were supposedly hiding... With your PFC and all that doesn't do anythign with the knock reading other then flash a light...

See, we'll let that be lesson one for all the boys here.

She WON'T listen to you, no matter what you tell her. Supposedly knock sensors caused her to be majorly down on power, whilst she ran a PFC... Oh, and she argued black and blue they were the fault... :ninja:

Since your engine builder has suggested that turbo - use it. If you dont have faith in your engine builder - go somewhere else and use whatever turbo they suggest. If you dont follow your engine builders advice they have an out if there's a problem, and there's more likely to be a problem as other stuff like headwork, cams etc will be selected to work well together. Throwing a random, potentially missmatched piece of kit into the mix is not a good approach.

knock sensors deff can make you down on power, if the tuner is using them, and backs the tune off early...

dont bother with a neo motror, you'll need a full rebuild for 500rwkw either way, so why spend the extra coin on bits you'll be replacing anyway

did you make a thread like 2-3 weeks ago about making your N/A supercharged?

Oh yeah, i remember her, i read that whole thread then it disappeared and I wondered what happened,,,all i can say is the determination she is showing far outweighs her rational thinking. Sure, if you got the money to spend and have absolutely NOTHING better to spend your money on,, then go ahead, good luck and godspeed

You should really add what you want to know about the T51R. From your post you aren't worried about spool etc, so thats good as there won't be much - and you want >500kw which is what a T51R will do fine as well.

What is it you DO need to know about it? It might help you get some more constructive responses - especially if you give some input on what your intended engine build spec is, you are still using the 25 block? Fully forged etc? What fuel will you be dyno queening on?

ill be going RB25 top end with RB30 bottom end to help with torque.

yes it will be fully forged and ill be having custom cams made up aswell (the cost the same as buying ones of the shelf).

ill most likely to be using Martini Racing Fuel for dyno comps

if ive found the right information, the Garrett GT4594R is basically the same as the HKS T51R, so ill be going with the Garrett one. I just thought maybe some people on here have used that turbo, or know some more information about it? just in a general sense really.

i have my list of everything that i need to get (im always adding to it as i go tho). But cause i pretty much know SFA about turbos, and im willing to admit it, id just like a little help, but like you said i prob should have made it a bit clearer to begin with.

do you have a boyfriend?

what does he say about your endevours for a 500kw car??

cos i'd be seriously pissed if my girlfriend wanted to waste that much money on a car for a few minutes of fun on a dyno at a car show, cos honestly, it seems that a car with over 300rwkw on the road is pretty useless and to only really use the power on a dyno or on a track really wouldnt be worth the money.

try fooling around in bed, much more fun than sitting in a car on a dyno pulling over 500kw

just my two cents

unlike yourself, id get more satisfaction sitting in a 500rwkw Skyline than what a guy could ever do for me :D and no, im not a lesbian.

and no, i dont have a boyfriend. and if i did, its love me, love my car or get F***d.!

Throwing a random, potentially missmatched piece of kit into the mix is not a good approach.

agreed - a proper plan which is based around the 500kw u want is a good idea,

as apposed to just chucking expensive parts together willie-nillie which has the potential to leave you out of pocket, and unsatisfied..

you need to get laid.

:D

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
