The Build Of The Beast

[Hadouken]

Thanks man.

Mechanical sympathy plays a big part I think. And if the motor goes, then that's that. Ill just get another motor down the line. But that will be a whole new debacle haha.

I am glad you are going with -9's. They are great.

I was very lucky with the headlights. One of those once in a lifetime opportunities. Bought them brand new off a guy who works for import monster for half the price.

I also see that I dont have my 1/4 mile PB up on here 11.2 @ 127mph.

And there will be more videos of hopefully a still running gtr next week

[tommis85]

Nice video man - I'll have to put down a decent time myself!

You wouldn't happen to be on that GTR Owners Club page?

-9's for the win btw! I just finished building a motor for my set - they really are an awesome turbo!

[Hadouken]

Do you mean that facebook page? I do believe I'm on there haha. Why's that?

Built motor would be the goods. I'd probably try and see where they run out of puff. I reckon you could get maybe 23/24 psi out of them. That would be some nice power.

Just started having a look at your thread, just love the colour, car looks great

Will push mine next year after the engine refresh and new e85 setup

-9s ftw hahaha

Will have to come track with us next year man

[Hadouken]

I will definitely be on the track more often if work permits.

I want to see numbers! Good numbers!

[levinboy]

Hahaha you will see them I may even start a build thread if I can be bothered

Will be over 360kw I'm sure by how much who knows more looking for more mid range punch for track

Screw it will instruct tuner to max them hahaha just for the efames lol

[tommis85]

Yeh that would be the page

And yes, as for power levels everything under 500hp is safe for street use...so I've been told, but I personally will be capping mine at 450hp or so which seems to be the max for these -9 turbos anway. And that's also keeping track work in mind which I dare say you're pretty keen on? We've all probably heard of those who get away with 600hp on the stock motor...but I wouldn't push a 20 year old uncracked motor that far! You will be bragging for a couple days and then BOOM you will be nicely embarrassed haha

The first thing that goes under higher power are the rod end bolts. (so I was sure to throw a set of those in as well)

[tommis85]

The closest I came to a build thread was a album on facebook

[Hadouken]

Nick is a track fiend. When his car wants to play the game.

Besides, I don't run high boost on the track, low boost is much better for it. And I run a slightly richer tune.

I remember this one guy coming around saying he had 360 or was it 380kw on 9's. Hard to believe If you can't back it up.

I reckon 360 is definitely possible with nines. Couple extra psi and the midrange would be intense. It's all about the power under the curve

[levinboy]

Tom my engine is built so I thrash it hahaha run 20-22psi on 98 with my -9s with 350kw

Mainly used on the track these days

Engine coming out for a refresh after a random lean out I'm trying to figure out plus some extra little bits and pieces which will make it even faster on track

All about that response

[tommis85]

Yeh I've just finished building mine...I'm aiming for the 330kw mark with my -9's. As soon as she's tuned up I want to be out on those tracks as often as I can hehe and yes, response is everything! 1500kg car, 2.6L engine...you need that thing to come on properly and soon!

[tommis85]

Yeh the most I've ever seen man was 504hp with -9's on E85. And then that went back down to around 450-470hp on pulp.

[Ambi3nce]

Loving the -9s banter! I also have a set and best thing I ever did was go them over the -5's.

I get 20psi by a little over 4K and makes 470hp. Thats with cams swung hard for response, reckon could easy get 500hp from them on same boost if top end was the goal (e85).

Im in the same boat as you man, good healthy stock internals and pulled sump for RIPS extension and billet gears to try make the stock bottom last.

Like you said its a bit of a lottery, but a good tune and ecu along with mechanical sympathy you should be good.

Another plus on -9s is can set limiter lower, 7500 is high as mine goes as turbos run out of breath above it.

[Hadouken]

Great turbo's

[Hadouken]

So today was a good day. Have a new PB at Wakefield.

Had a blast, boiled coolant yay.

At least oil temps stayed around 100 - 110*

1:08 on the last lap on low boost ofcoarse

[Nismo 3.2ish]

looks like a ton of fun

[Hadouken]

[levinboy]

Noice

[Hadouken]

Placed 4th on the day. Not bad for a boat. 3 of them were track cars. I drove mine there and back
