Hello!

Im planning to buy a turbo kit for my R33 GTR from Powerhouse Racing

My internals are simple HKS 2.8L Stroker with bearings, ARP rods, new greddt headgasket

Will it hold för 600-700whp?

Well i was going for the T88 but on the PHR site i found 2 other turbo kits t78-t88 and a new one called TD05.

So as i said im looking for a turbo that can handle 700hp but i will probably go for 650whp or something like that.

Will my engine hold? and do i need to spend much more for a good engine?

T04Z and 2 bar of boost will get you there.

I heard thats a good turbo, Will my engine hold? I am gonna leave the engine for some inspection but i want to know what you guys say.

Thanks for the fast answer!

If the engine was properly assembled and balanced, and its tuned properly, you should have no problem sustaining the sort of power levels you are talking about provided you select the right turbo and have all the supporting fuel/cooling/oiling systems in place.

Oh nice mate, Can you put up some dyno results? You drive the car on the weekends or every day?

Will your engine hold? dont bet on it, and for how long, many have failed.

Good luck, I hope it works out.

It wont fail if you have a good tune i knew a guy wich had 600hp on stock engine he started the car a year ago and its still running, He had an awsome tuner.

Not trying to put you off but there's not much info in your threads, 2 bar, 650 to 700hp is a lot of strain and mumbo! how many kms on the engine, who built it, how much work has it done? The tune is one thing but the engine clearances, tolerances and ware is another thing on an already built engine.

The last time I had my engine inspected it involved pulling the engine out and inspecting a big end bearing, sadly they were all f#$&ed after 2000kms.

Hopefully all goes well, but asking if your engine will hold is like asking how longs a piece of stringl. Good luck!

Its the last post in the RB26 dyno results.. not a daily but more than just weekends..

as for will it last, yeah how long is a piece of string, you see some guys putting a lot through stock engines and others breaking built ones ??

you would hope if they have gone to the trouble and expense of the stroker it would be done properly..

no point living life thinking what if ..

just take it up slowly and see if anything comes up (or out) :P

22-24psi should see you around 600whp

No point living life thinking what if.. But definitley worth considering, my comments are based on the guy having made only 12 post and having asked the question more than once if the engine will last, having an already built engine (God knows who built it or what its been through), I suspect he is new to the wonderfull world of GTR's so just some words of caution.

"You see some guys putting a lot through stock engines and others breaking new ones" This is very true. (without rubbishing any engine builders)

Based on the limited information 2 bar would be risky without knowing more, maybe the straw that breaks the camels back, I've had 4 engines in my car (pisses me right off) and used to run 25psi with tomei cams, motec, 2871-10 turbos and many other goodies, these days I run 20psi, smaller turbos, std cams shafts and have never looked back. (my choice only)

22-24psi sounds more realistic, 600whp, still bloody fast.

Well yeah im new to GTRs and the engine is Built by MGT Racing before it reached me in Sweden, I put on some GT-RS turbos and i had the car for 4 months now and run 500hp with no problem at all MGT said that the car was built to do more than that and GT-RS turbos was nothing for it, And ive had 700hp volvos before so im not new into engines and i can handle a car at 700hp.

I leave the engine for inspection tomorrow to one of Swedens best tuners/engine builders lets see what they say

Oh, i forgot to say its an N1 block :)

btw i came in to the forums this year and i barley used it you cant judge me buy looking at my posts.

yeah,, I had it tuned before on a rear wheel dyno only weeks before, and made 550rwhp , then on the awhp hub dyno only made 520awhp, on the same tune...

after retune made 710awhp ,,

was hitting boost cut on cool nights @28psi . so have pulled the boost back 1.5psi so maybe 680awhp (on a hub) what ever that is? is it a percentage less??

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
