Hi Guys

I have had a few issues with my car and i am finally getting around to having a near new (30,000km) rb25det installed. I am upgrading the following but i need to know what is the max power i should be running on standard internals??

I have

Nistune

Z32 AFM

Bosch 040 Fuel pump

Nismo 480cc injectors

Front mount I/C

Garrett GT3076 IW

Full 3" exhaust

Electronic boost controller

4" pod filter

I am low mounting with a standard manifold with extended studs and a spacer.

Can anyone tell me what would be safe to run at? and any ideas to ensure reliability??

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers :D

John

280rwkw is a nice safe figure that many have run for a good amount of time without issue.

People have made more, however they are few in numbers and some are not daily driven @ that power either.

Is this a good setup??

Only issue would be the injectors, I dont think they will flow enough for 280rwkw. Especially not if you have any plans for E85 later on.

They should be fine for 280 on 98 - thats about when stock gtr 440s run out of puff isn't it?

Yeah true but if I was buying expensive nismo injectors I would hate to be limited by injector size. The 3076 is well known for making over 280rwkw. Not to mention its preferrable to not run the injectors to their limit.

This is the issue I am looking at the moment. Looks like options are EV6 injectors such as siemens or bosch that fit an xr6 turbo and then modify the connectors and add spacers. Or hiflow injectors. Cant really see many other options for a decent size injector 600cc+.

Point taken. I was thinking that since the 280 figure is a good choice for the bottom end then the injectors he has now are fine as they should still have a little headroom at that level. Looks like you're looking at if from what would suit the capabilities of the turbo.

So, for an ideally matched setup, he could get a smaller turbo (for less lag), or bigger injectors and built bottom end (for more power with reliability) or just bigger injectors and some cash in savings in case the engine pops. :thumbsup:

I think Hamish was running 555's when he produced 300rwkw+ on E85, so they should be sufficient. Given the smaller capacity Nismo injectors are all much the same price regardless of size, you might as well go for 555's or 600's atleast...

many people are showing around 350-400 hp on the rb25 upgrade thread??? 380 hp would be the max i want anyway. So i should be fine right??
Some people have been running 280 - 300kw no trouble. Others blow up with 250kw. The most important thing is to get a really good tuner (and don't sit on the rev limiter!!).

I have spoken to my tuner and he said he would have no problem with 380HP atw. He said he has had stockies with a FPR running more power. I will make sure he doesn't run too lean as i want this to be a daily and as long as i can have more fun than my original 230 atw ill be laughing. The 3076 will kick in later than stock obviously but as long as it sounds alot better (which it will) id settle around 350hp

    • Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.
    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
    • Damn you’ve done well, definitely snapping necks.
    • Great weekend and event. Open fire at the caravan park, perfect weather all day and a great feed and a couple of drinks at at awesome country pub.
