is that your car in a protek?

im hopping for 380awkw with my setup an -5's if that is you car in protek have a look at mine in there white r33 gtr give you an idea

Question: Was that not with the 0.86 A/R rear housings?

Nope.

HKS 2530's have done virtually the same power in a number of cars as well, being the turbos are same/similar/close enough, its easily plausible on a motor that is built right.

Most punters/motors however, 380-400rwkw. Takes something special to get much more

Presently at 570 rwhp (425 rwkw). HKS2.8L, 272 Step 2 cams, oversize valves, heaps of head porting and around 1.8 bar of boost on my dash 5's.

On 98 pump fuel that's about the limit of what you can expect from these terbs. (Hell responsive 'tho! :D)

Shiitt thats like 27-28psi and those turbos can handle that healthly???? everyday drive ??

It's probably at (or past) the upper limit of the efficiency of these turbos.

Engine in this configuation would be no problems for a daily driver as there is plenty or torque. In fact around town I'm lazy and normally only use 1st, 3rd and 5th gears. I have shorter GTS4 diff centers, however, so that makes a difference also.

what part of the turbo do you think is going to break from using more boost?

Sorry not brake but comparing to life of the engine, is there much diff in using less boost or high boost if u have strengthend internals that is

Not really - if it build right.

However, my guess is your motor probably wont be going to such extremes unless you are spending some very serious cash.

Gav's motor isn't a cheap one, lots of work, effort and parts to get it to that level.

Most 'builds' around the 10-12k marker wont come close to a 2.8 stroker, bigger valves, head work and everything else.

very nice... yeh well im up around 14k with tune and build lol Thats NOT with the internals still internals need to be done but then thats it.Another 6k and i should be happy BUt im not going to stroke it.. i wonder how much max healthy boost i can give it with out the stroker kit

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
