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.

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??

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
