Trent,

Just like to say good luck at the upcoming Autosalon.

Having seen the process of the engine work im sure you will crack the magic number you are aiming for :)

Thanks Dave,

We were extremely happy to get 1000hp on E85, not sure if that had been done before, but to push it further now we are switching to c16 and more boost. The engine had perfect compression after the power cruise event, so we are happy to step up the power and see how it goes. Obviously the GT4788R is a big turbo, so there should be plenty of room to move from its current power figure. Fingers crossed it performs well at Autosalon. If it does, we will make the trek to Autosalon Sydney with a few more goodies added to it to go even further.

200hp @ 6000rpm, 800hp @ 7000rpm. :whistling:

Holy. Shit. Talk about a serious PUNCH, just a shame it takes so long for it....why so little power at 6000rpm though? I mean my R33 pulls harder than that lol

The engine is designed for serious horsepower, so there has to be a fair number of compromises along the way with the build to ensure it will handle what we plan to do with it. One of those compromises is response. There are many factors, but some of them are comp ratio, camshaft size, camgear tuning, exhaust manifold sizing, the size of the turbo etc. We will be compensating for this with a shot of NOS, to get the car onto boost, hopefully around the 5500rpm mark. That would make the setup a lot more enjoyable, although it is pretty freakin cool when it comes on! BTW, there is no lag between gears. It falls back onto full boost.

I'll bet its fun.

What secret spec cams are you running?

In all seriousness have a look at wizard of nos nitrous products.... they are light years ahead of the holley/NOS- NX- Nitrex etc. I've had first hand experience with Trev's gear on a 1800hp GT40 (plus nitrous) at some standing mile events and I have bought a full direct port set up for my own RB28.

It's exy- but it's well reaserched and tested technology.

Big ones. :dry:

We were just going to use a Zex wet, single fogger kit which we already have here, controlled by the ECU to turn on and off based on rpm and boost. For spool up, that should be pretty easy to achieve.

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
