Who does the work though.

Less a Haltech PS2000 and the install and tune + markup! = $16,000 left. Then shipping/duty $14,000 left. Then workshop fee's for motor removal and install = $13,000 left. Then exhaust = $12,000 left. Fuel System = $10,000 left. Misc = $9,000 left

You now have $9,000 left to get to 800hp reliably!....how much are the 3.8lt or 4.2lt conversions? and then how much is turbo kit from the workshop going to charge?

Like I said 20K with you doing most of the work is good for at least 800HP.....a workshop doing most of the work at least 600HP....and I am talking with reliability.

1. Never said that the workshop would be doing all the work - that'd be the money burner

2. No chance I'd pay $4k for the Haltech (ViPec installed and tuned for $2k down here)

3. Stroker kits can be had for under $5k depending on what you want or 700hp rated built VQ35 for $10k (plus shipping - yes I know you have to supply a VQ35).

4. All I am saying is for $20k, you could get around 600-700hp* from a VQ35 no problem... reliably

* actually I said big power... but I'd say that 600-700hp from a 3.5L V6 is big power... well it is to me anyway :whistling:

BUMP

Ok...

I've been reading through this thread with interest as I've spoken to a few tuners over here in W.A and very few have had experience with the VQ25det engines. I had one guy who said a lot of the cost would be on r&d so if I can find out specifics then he can cost it up for me.......... I've been looking to do this for a while now but its probably just getting to the point where there is enough info available....

I'm getting everything done at one time and then thats it, set and forget.

I'm not very mechanically minded so bear with me

Budget 8-10k

Wanted power 270awkw and 800nm

Things I know I need:

Hi flow turbo ( What core is best - I want early spool if possible)

Full custom TBE

Emanage ultimate ( Was told by 2 people it's not a good unit )

EBC (Best type?)

HDI Intercooler

Fuel Pump

Injectors ( Which ones )

Anything else I've missed?

Any other mods I can get them to do at the same time for more power earlier (something mentioned earler in the thread - A mod by Scotty but I didn't quite understand )

Throttle restriction removal ( Cut cable ?)

He's probably trying to sell his car again. :P

nah....just cannot be bothered type up the +'s and m -'s of each turbo......oh and what you have to do to get em working properly.

e.g. Don't waste your time going for my turbo if you don't have some way of sorting out the low end restriction/s.

why not? I thought it would be the better option as you can spool on stall.

bush bearing wont in the same size..

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator

      wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
