g'day,

i was thinking about buying a set of thease for my r32 gtr.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Garrett-GT2...sQ5fAccessories

my current turbos are gt2530 from what i was told by the car dealer i purchased the car off (very dodgy bloke/..)

i want to get the block bored to around 2.8L or even 3L, does anyone know if it could go that far ?

the only reason i want to bore the block is because the turbos will lag like mad rite ?

thease are the biggest twin turbo setup i can find..

i basically want to achieve around 600kw for my track car..

if anyone has had any experiance with thease turbos, or anyone that has a better opinion on what should do would be much appreciated.

I have not had any experience ( im poor i only own a gtst) but from what i have seen to get 2.8l you use a stroker kit and for 3.0l you use an rb30 bottom end, im guessing very little inside your motor will be left standard to achieve a reliable 600awkw so 3g+ on turbo's will be the least of your expense.

should definately see u over the 500kw + mark buddy

i wouldnt want to know what the bill would be like though lol

600rwkw or 600kw @ the fly?

Either way, it sounds like you need to do more reading mate.

If you think you can bore a GTR block out to 2800cc total you're already showing a little lack of knowledge... let alone needing 600kw in a track car.

Also turbos having mad lag, another giveaway perhaps more homework needed.

What is the budget?

What are the current mods?

What are your current lap times?

What lap times are you after?

Hmm that horsepower level will cost around the $50K minimum. I would suggest a more realistic power level is what is required.

Those turbos are tiny for the power you want, A/R .64? Please.

For 600kw at the wheels you're looking at some serious horsepower, and a built engine, you'll have to fortify the top end with various JUN / Tomei / Whatever parts and maybe even the bottom end depending on what you're going to be using all that power for. Remember you have an RB26 not a 2JZ lol.

Secondly I wouldn't buy my turbos off ebay, I'd buy from a registered Garret dealer where you have things like warranty.

If I wanted 600awkw from an RB26 I'd get 2 GT35R's with .82 rear housings from a registered Garret dealer, like Horsepower In A Box.

Then I'd find a workshop willing to tune such an animal and an ECU that would be reliable at that level of power, you're going to need a custom fuel setup, at least a 2.5L surge using something like a Carter Gold lifter pump and 2 x Bosch 044's with return lines.

I wouldn't bother trying to bore out your engine to a massive 2.8L, is that even possible? Instead you could purchase a stroker kit.

This is all going to cost big dollars, I wouldn't undergo this project unless you had at least $25k and a workshop that you could trust.

that is stupid. 35Rs will flow over 400kw atw EACH. the lag on that sort of setup would be stupendous.

HKS GT-RS's will make the power you are talking about. Lag will be an issue and will require a lot of money & time to try and negate. If you don't know what your doing and havent done much track work before (assuming this based on your post) then start off small and work your way up. You will lap faster in a responsive 400hp gtr than in your 700-800hp setup with lag and traction issues.

well 600kw @ the fly is still what, 500rwkw give/take?

Well considering he said 500-600kw i would be thinking 400-500rwkw which is "achievable" more so than 600rwkw.

If you wanted something "fairly responsive" (hell i dont call anything with that kind of power on a RB responsive but whatever) with that kind of power i'd be looking at something along the lines of a 30/26 with twin GT-RS's.

But as has been said, why so much power? I'd be looking at lower power levels but be concentrating on response.

hioctane have demonstrated that a 26/30 with 2860-5's makes for a very quick combo.

with a hollinger...

and special diffs...

and an endless budget...

realisticly you should budget atleast 70k to do it properly with a box and diffs etc and thats not including labour from a workshop

It is not stupid it's a solution that I know of several drag cars running 800-900rwhp at only 20psi.

Remember the OP never stated what he wanted so much power for.

Does he want a responsive track car? a dyno queen? highway warrior? something that runs 10's?

More information needs to be posted.

All we receieved was an ebay link and an "I want this much power"

How long is a piece of string? etc...

I think 600Kw at the crank let alone the wheels is an unrealistic goal to have in the first place .

If you want to have a usable rev range with that sort of output I think even 3 litres (200 odd Cu ?) is a bit lacking .

Having telephone number outputs is one thing and being able to do something useful with it , let alone affording it , is another .

I don't think 600 hp at the crankshaft is unrealistic in a track RB30 but I don't think it'd be a nice drive on the street .

A while back it was mentioned to me by possibly SK that RB30's can be stroked usefully to about 3.2-3.3L and compared to some of the zillion dollar mods people do at times it may not be as expensive ($/Kw) as many think .

Std bore/stroke RB26's revved to 11 may be one thing but the budget must be horrendous .

IMO need more cubes , do any of the later 3.5L V6's have any hope of going into an R32/3/4 ?

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
