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

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
