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...

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
