Thought this might be a useful topic as so many people modding stock 25's are shooting for 300kw these days.

With this power level constantly in debate, lets get some stats...

use this formula:

mods:

fuel:

power:

oil:

useage:

lifespan:

I'll start the ball rolling:

engine 1 - R33 s1 RB25DET - 250,000km

mods: HKS GT2835 Pro S, 555cc injectors, fmic, custom CAI, atmo catchcan, other non related mods

fuel: bp ultimate / manildra e85

power: 280rwkw / 325rwkw

oil: motul 4100 turbolight 10w40

useage: daily /light trackwork

lifespan: 3 years

failure: spun bigend bearing

comments: motor also ran 185rwkw for about 5 years prior and was from a car that was tracked in japan as far as I can tell. motor had a very hard life.

engine 2 - Stagea 25 - modded for rwd - s2 RB25DET - 70,000km

mods: HKS GT2835 Pro S, 555cc injectors, fmic, custom CAI, atmo catchcan, other non related mods

fuel: bp ultimate / manildra e85

power: 290rwkw / 325rwkw

oil: castrol edge 10w60 (98 ron) / motul 6100 15w50 (E85)

useage: daily /light trackwork

lifespan: new motor - was stock power in an auto stag till now

failure: n/a

comments: New motor has a bigger sump (26 block) and is being run on heavier oil. Tuner is same and bolton's are same. So far it is more responsive, more powerful and everything is looking positive.

engine mods: Turbo conversion, GT3076r, Tial 44mm gate + screamer, Nismo 740 injectors, Power Fc + Comm,TurboSmart Bov, Exhaust cam gear, other support mods - read sig for rest

fuel: shell v-max (98)

power: 284rwkw 18psi / 21psi? 3xx?

oil: motul 8100 100% synthetic

useage: daily/cruises very light track work

lifespan: nearly 6 years (200,000km)

failure: standard servicing parts, of recent - water pump leak, internally, block has never been touched

comments: in my possession motor ran: 104rwkw - 1 year, 180rwkw - 1 year, 230rwkw - 2 years, 284rwkw - nearly 2 years so far

good idea Hamish!

mods: RB25DETneo, 6boost high mount, GT3540, Turbo smart 50mm wastegate & screamer Splitfire coilpacks, HKS fuel rail & 680cc injectors, front entry intake plenum, Power FC

power: 330rwkw @ 19psi, mid to high 200's @ 14psi

useage:occasional street driving, light track work

lifespan: been at least 3 years but would have been lucky to cover 2000km in that time

failure: none but the tyres don't like it, lol

comments: motor had 34,000kms when I got it 6 or so years ago, ran at 200rwkw on stock turbo until upgrade.

mods:s2 rb25det 140,000km, usual bolt ons z32 nismo 555 etc, nismo intank pump with 044 surge tank feed, hypergear tr43i turbo

fuel: caltex e85

power:307kw 17psi

oil:motul 4100 power

useage: track drift car

lifespan:2 years and still going

failure: not yet

comments: seems to be strong motor ran 2 years about 200kw, 1 year 270kw prior to this setup when was daily. Has survived a couple of track days with faulty CAS making it run lean at around mid 14s and no problems.

mods: gt3076 .82 IW, nismo 555s, 044 etc

fuel: bp98

power: at a guess 280-300rwkw

oil: usually hpr5

useage: almost every weekend with a couple of failed trackdays

lifespan: 2 yrs at over 250rwkw

failure: n/a, pulled it out to go 30det

comments:Motor never made as much power as others seamed to but never let me down, copped up to 25psi and a lot of knock along the way as i was learning to tune it myself. copped a fair bit of limiter abuse, oil pump is still going fine now on the 30. also ran for a week with a dud fuel reg and was leaning out to 15:1 under full load. when pulled down the pistons had very slight det damage but bottom end is otherwise perfect and will probably be used again when i eventually sell it.

mods: R33 Series 2 RB25DET, Internally gated .82a/r GT3076R, Splitfire coilpacks, Nismo 555cc Injectors, Walbro 500hp fuel pump, GTS Link ECU, 600x300x76 generic intercooler, Trust PEII Exhaust, custom dump pipe and intake/intercooler piping, 4" K&N pod filter.

fuel: Mobil Synergy 8000 (E10) and BP Ultimate at different times

power: 270kw in 2006-2009, 301kw @ hubs at 17-18psi highest in early 2009, ranged from 284rwkw (lowest reading after raising boost to 17psi, on a rolling road dyno similar to DD) up to that highest figure depending on dyno, boost and day

useage: Occasional street driving, light track work and some drags

lifespan: Installed GT3076R and first tune for 270kw at ~100,000km in 2006

failure: No failure - stripped big turbo etc from motor just before 200,000km as I felt like time for a change and had someone keen to buy my old turbo, injectors etc in mid 2011. Motor is still running fine with a stock turbo back on it.

comments: Motor had 61,000kms when I got it 8 or so years ago, ran at 200rwkw on stock turbo until upgrade at 100,000km.

mods: R33 Series 2 RB25DET, Internally gated .82a/r GT3076R @ 17/18psi, Splitfire coilpacks, Nismo 555cc Injectors, Walbro 500hp fuel pump, Link G4 GTS/GTR ECU, Blitz LM FMIC, HKS Hi-Power Silent Exhaust, custom downpipe, 4inch intake, Simota 4inch pod

fuel: Mobil Synergy 8000

power: 285rwkw on a dyno with a dodgy wideband. Maxxed out the injectors. Retuned to more sensible Duty's and felt quite a healthy increase of butt dyno power, yet to re-dyno so will update soon.

useage: daily driven, and driven relatively hard. and regularly tracked

oil: Royal Purple 10w40 with royal purple oil filters and Mocal 13row oil cooler.

lifespan: Still going strong. No oil usage or dodgy sounds.

failure: squeaky brakes

comments: bought @ 47,000km stock, modded to 200rkw, tracked hard. Installed GT30 @ 80,000km, (87,000km now) still tracked hard.

I guess its a good indication to Garrett's turbos too. Over 100,000km on two cars that arent driven like nanas ever.

Poke poke poke....

I want this thread to thrive! I want to get the Stag to 300kwatw, so this thread delivers.

I'm really only lacking turbo and injectors but don't know whether to go the 3071 (unlikely but would love the response) 3076 (likely) or HG G3 or SS2? (i think?[quite possible]).

I'm forever switching and changing so I'll be watching this thread with interest.

Interest! Interest! Yep watching this with interest, the only thing stopping me from the Kando is I have to go external gate - all the hassles of plumbing and I already got my neww JJR front/dump fitted, which will need to have the dump modified if I do go Kando... And 'jet something' mentioned a link (in another Garret turbo thread) from the US where u can get the GT3076R delivered for $1300...A superior product cheaper than a Hypergear..?? Good to go

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
