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...

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????

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

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

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
