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.

Thanks know im feeling better knowing my engine will hold :D

thats the same set-up as me 2.8L TO4Z .84 garret 710awhp, is absolutely nuts :) scared the shit out of a few mates..

also considering the GT4088R check that out, I went the TO4 because is was tried and proved, plenty of dyno results to look at..

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.

Your results are on a hub dyno though are they not?

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??

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
