hey guys i know this would have been covered, so if you could just point me in the right direction, thatd be great.

I have a r34 gtt which id like to get to 450-500hp at the wheels.

Is there a forum which will give me all the info i need and what should be done to the car to safely run these levels.

Thanks guys.

450 or 500?

450 @ the treads could be easily achieved with a garrett 3076, fuel pump, 700cc injectors, Z32 afm, FMIC, ECU and e85 on stock internals

500.... you'd probably wanna be building

well if 450 would be insanely cheaper id go for that,

So its mainly the fuel system/part that needs to be built to support this kind of upgrade??

Fuel rail i have heard of, not exactly sure what it is tho.

About 20-30 thousand dollars.

holy "curses repeatedly"!!

So a bigger turbo, rated at 500hp, 700cc injectors, suitable fuel pump, remapped ecu or a brand new one??

Not sure what the e85 or z32afm are??

FMIC is currently the blitz se kit, tube and fin, 620x266x76.

Clutch being the Exedy single plate heavy duty. NSK 7333HD with the standard flywheel. Would the stock flywheel be ok with this or need to be changed??

I would imagine the clutch and fmic are going to cope ok with this??

Thanks again.

You'll need a 600-700hp turbo, they are not rated @ the wheels.

500rwhp = 370rwkw.

That is GT35 territory which is a 650-700hp item.

370rwkw = built motor territory as well, and hence you are talking around 20k in total costing

I think im chasing more 400-450 at the wheels. ive been reading around a little.

500 at the wheels is a costly excercise.

I'm running an hks 2835 pro s which is a modified 3071

car makes 285rwkw on bp ultimate and 325rwkw on powerplus e85

that's 381 and 435 hp respectively

the car has been making this power on stock internals for 2 years now and sees a lot of limiter time

a 3076 will just nudge over my power levels by a few kw.

A z32 afm is an airflow metre from a z32 and will be required to support that kinda airflow

your clutch will hold, but as a single HD won't last forever

Fmic will be fine

as for the stock internals, of course it is a gamble and it could go pop.... But that is life and it's just a gamble you take :banana:

cheaper to sell your R34 as is

and buy one thats already got the power and expensive stuff done

there is an ER34 with a 3 litre big sinle on carsales.com.au in melbourne for sale

its got around 400rwkw with all the expensive stuff done

will be far cheaper than you buying all the parts and having someone do it

Point taken but i think im keen to build this 1 up, as i know it hasnt been thrashed and hasnt got many mods at the moment, and what has been done, ive done myself.

This way i know what my car has got and has been done to it etc.

couldn't agree more! and a much quicker way of doing it, instead of having your car off the road all the time to have work done to it...

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
