Mate Wants 400Rwhp From His R34Gtt

Hey,

My mate finally got the modification bug and told me he wants to get 400Rwhp from his R34 Gtt.

Its pretty standard atm, with just a cat back fitted.

we have a 3' dump/front, turbo smart dual port BOV, Intercooler kit and pod filter to fit up.

I have been speaking with HP-in-a-box and they do a GTX3076 with Nissan rear housing, internal gate, spacer, braided lines for around 2.5k.

Obviously we will be getting the other supporting mods (z32 afm/740cc/nismo fpr/ally rad/bosh Fpump/clutch) but im just looking for assistance selecting the cams, head gasket and head studs.

Also, to go power fc or Nistune - im leaning toward Nistune at this point in time.

Looking forward to any advice you can offer, thanks guys!

Got a feeling you'll get quite a few responses saying you won't 'need' the Nismo FPR, the Radiator, the head gasket, cams, or BOV for 400 rwhp, and that Nistune is the simple, easy and (visually) legal ECU choice if you're in VIC. Also saves some dollars.

Will he be happy with 399rwhp or 401rwhp? Can he tell the difference of 5hp tolerance? Specific power goals always amuse me...

No point doing cams and head gasket, you can get that power without cams and I wouldn't bother doing a half job of opening the engine. Just run the 400rwhp until she pops, if she does, and then build up a forged engine.

Also those "Nissan" rear housings by HP in a box suck... plenty of stories on here where people have struggled to make power. Save money by not buying the useless stuff (FPR, cams, head gasket) and go external gate

When I was modding my car, I had 280 in my head as a target. Until I see a dyno give me 280 or more, I'm not stopping. You can't shoot blind. Have a target, aim and shoot.

You have ALOT of unnecessary parts there which are just a waste of time and money. Head gasket? Seriously you're going to pull the motor apart, resurface the head and block, get new studs and put it all back together?

A good bolt on kit will do nicely. You can tell your mate to get a gt3540, that will get him over 400rwhp but how long it takes to hit that power is a different matter. Find your self a nice HKS kit(rare as f**k), or just get a good high flow for about 350rwhp and be done with it.

What's the point though? Would you actually stop at 278 or completely change a system when you could dyno it elsewhere and get 280. I just don't understand the exact power figures people chase - are you trying to be a dyno queen? Because 280 isn't going to be winning any competitions. I think people just hear about other people having this much power in their cars on the forums and decide it sounds good without no actual knowledge of how fast it will actually be, or if it's even appropriate for their setup. More realistically, you're better off aiming for a specific lap time or quarter mile time and modify until you reach your useful target...jus sayin...

I like that his mate wants to go from "we have a 3' dump/front, turbo smart dual port BOV, Intercooler kit and pod filter to fit up." ( so basically about 160rwkw) to 300rwkw

400rwph is so 2009, 0-100kph in 4.5 secs is the new 300kw

why doesnt your mate come and research... why is it always my mate wants this but Im asking... oh wait is it school holidays again????

and what is wrong with that?? rolleyes.gif

to get to 300rwkw (400hp ~ish) give or take 20kw all you need is a nistune after installing bigger injectors, bigger turbo, FMIC, 3in+ exhaust and boost T..

The other stuff is more to make it more reliable or if the stock parts are stuffed.

The main thing that will make the power goal is going to be turbo. A GTX3076 will make 300rwkw but so can a GTX3071.. HKS turbo mentione above might not make 300 but it sure will kick the other 2 in acceleration on the street. Hi-Flows also might not make 300kw but they make a nice quick 250ish kw which will be fast on the street.

If your mate really wants to crack 300kw then i would not get FPR, head gasket, head bolts and Bov and get a 6boost mani+external gate with a GTX3076

    • T51R mod is an Antisurge slot. With exception that it has few extra legs on the base of it which makes a sound, and it needed to be inserted into the comp housing.  
    • Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?
    • They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.
    • Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!      
    • Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
