Where Is The Wow!

Horror stories about what?

Nothing wrong with a 3ltr in a GTR. It's certainly a bit more work involved than say a GTS-T RB26/30 conversion, but i wouldnt go as far as to horror story base it!

Although that said not a lot getting around, I've always wondered how the torque + gearbox would fare over 12-18months with the added torque as GTR's love to strip 3rd as it is without the added oomph.

Well given he is a good friend of mine and we were actually discussing it yesterday, I'd be inclinded to believe my version.

You aren't the only one, plenty of cars out there are using factory dumps and making 330-380rwkw.

If you are so dead certain the car doesn't have anywhere near the power spend $80 and put it on another dyno and see, would be the first thing i'd do.

(i've gone from racepace to dr.drft, varience of a whopping 10rwkw)

Anyway, proof will be in the pudding - I'll remember this thread for a time when i run a 10 with factory dumps and -5's!

Till then

Seems that you talked about it yesterday and he is your friend, l do believe you but that does not mean my car can achieve the same result.

As for putting the car on the dyno. On the weekend there was a dyno day in my local area. l ran my car on the dyno taking into account that the dyno had its correction factor turned on and lets just say the power reading was way off, which confirms from what l am saying that the original dyno figure which as far as l know did not have the shoot out mode turned on is way off the mark but l do not want to get into into a debate how dynos are all different. This is the main reason why l keep ranting on reguarding my setup and the power figure.

Not on purpose either, a friend is organising a drag day in Dec... bit of a bet running as i said i'll run a 10, so did a mate (blown SS commo)

Maybe something in the setup has changed, isn't right and so on. Many worms in the can to pull out.

Not saying you aren't right or wrong, I've just never been unsatisfied in any -5 equipped car, they are savage IMO and I've had my own big single @ 370rwkw before in my car

Equally fun are GT35 equipped cars which produce very similar numbers etc.

Turbo Dave - His comments are valid and fair, i guess everyone is different mate.

Depends on what you want. Just remember doing it in a GTR is more costly due to sump adaptor and similar things.

It comes down to how much do you want to spend, and how far you want to go.

Rebuilding is not a cheap/easy/fast exercise generally and anyone that's done it can tell you it always costs more than you set out

If you don't have at least 10k lying around - i would honestly suggest smaller, better turbos, drive it and be merry for now.

Noely - you wanna come run 10s as well?

[Turbo Dave]

From what I can gather my current RB26 is a forged engine, so if I can confirm this when the time comes for some -5's it might be a cheap (sorta) upgrade.

Would a Tomei pump and 650cc squirters runs the -5's to the end on the RB26?

If it's as simple as a turbo upgrade and new map sensor I think this will be happening sooner rather than later, 400+ is calling my name??

I believe the Tomei pump will be fine but cant confirm. I would definitely go larger injectors so that you have the option to run E85 at some stage.

Its more about was it built right, in terms of will it hang together @ those power levels, i'd hate to see it not last or something.

I always have that worry i guess with unknown motors

But ye, 650/700 & a tomei pump will be fine for -5s on PULP.

You'll need at least 800'c for E85 as you'll be over 400rwkw (provided all things are in order)

even after all of that it still wont feel like a Hayabusa @ full pelt

Yeah I know but I can't fit the family on a Hayabusa anymore!!

[DVS JEZ]

buy a comodore for family car

have you tried adding boost? if its a built motor...

is it a really safe tune? does it knock/ping at all or can timing be added?

[Turbo Dave]

Not sure if it's built as yet, has had a tune but we are treating it as a stock motor until proven otherwise.

Running 17psi daily but anymore and the stock airbox struggles up top. I'm going to address this once the -5's come along.

Had an SS a few years back but is was quite dull really. And no matter how much money you spend on getting it going it will always be a "Commodore".

Mmm the stock airbox should be fine mate - archie01 & various others have made more power outta R32 airboxes!

[DVS JEZ]

on the topic of stock airbox i think Steve N1 GTR made near 600hp with stock box but really good filter.

when you say struggles what do you mean?

are you sure the stock rubber intake piping isnt sucking in restricting the flow?

take the car to the track and see what 1/4 mile time it does and what trap speed, this will help answer your questions.

or do what i do and drive a slow ass truck all day then go for a drive in the GTR and you will think its crazy fast.

Excellent advise here! Never ride a big bike again and have your memory erased so cant remember what it was like. Cheapest way out of this.

The 3L + T04z'd GTS4 I referred to early, keeps up with R1's.. gives them a right fright

[Turbo Dave]

It might have been the older style Turbo's running out of puff at higher revs then. tuner said that when he went for more boost it the boost was getting wavy.

Boost dropped off at 7000 and you could see it fall back on the rollers a bit. as seen here...

Plan to date:

Check engine specs, custom intake, -5's and fuel system to match and life will be good.

I've seen a few vids when GTR's drive past bikes and just gets me wanting, but I still have to be a bit realistic and keep it drivable and not just a top end machine as it will do some interstate drives on occasions.

[Turbo Dave]

Had a Heart Failure today when replacing my plugs, No.6 was firm the whole way out and didn't tighten up.

Thought it was going to be an engine out job but found a place in town that Helicoiled it in the car.

That would have been a great excuse for the Missus to accept a rebuild...LOL!!

[r33_racer]

Did she find the place that does it in the car? If not, why isnt the engine out and getting stripped?? Its not a lie if she doesnt know any better.

[DVS JEZ]

have you done a compression test on your engine lately?

[Turbo Dave]

Locaton slows me down a bit as I don't want to get it rebuilt in my own town.

And I like being married so I tend to tell her the truth.... Most of the time anyway!!

Haven't done comp tests yet might do it next time I do plugs.

What numbers should it read???
