so the time is coming where the tax man pays up (hopefully) so looking into some options atm.

atm my car is running a GCG highflow turbo (15psi) with some supporting mods (470cc injectors, exhaust cam gears, fuel pump, 3" turbo back exhaust, Z32 afm and PFC) runing 236rwkw and after seeing joeyjoejoesomething's (f**k hamish thats a long name) car and the way it went on our sunday cruise i now have the itch to push more power out.

so what i need to know is would getting maybe bigger injectors and a boost controller and just upping the boost be ok or would it be a smarter idea to jump on the HKS 2835 bandwagon?

i have also been told the NEO RB's are a little more stronger then the regular RB's and running high 200s shouldnt be a problem and will cope without a rebuild. is that true? anyone who has done this to their R34 your input will be very helpful

bombtrack has the same setup as my car on his 34 and its basically identical to drive :banana:

the extra 40-50 rwkw you'll get from it are worth it imho... but also look @ a garrett 3071 (same turbo pretty much)

the injectors you have will be fine for 98ron, but if you wanna run e85 you'll need bigger -

i'm on 555's and they are at their limit with 2835 +e85 - so if you wanna shoot for 325odd go 740's

getting a cheap single solenoid ebc is a good idea... i run a blitz DSBC spec s and bombtrack runs a greddy profec B... neither of us have any issues with boost control.... great units for the price.... i duel solenoid is a better unit, but for ~20 psi a single will hold pretty well

i have mine set to spike to 21psi, then drop to 19 and hold... (by 7k it has dropped to 18 but will not go any further...)

as for internals, its just a game of russian roulette @ that level... the motor may hold together, it may not.... its all about having faith in your tuner and the knowledge that something COULD go wrong... regular maintenaince with good fluids and you should be right @ ~ 300rwkw

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
