Hi I've finally gotten a GTR, and now I'm wondering if my upgrades will give me a fast spool and good power. Well I'm looking for about 700 hp to the wheels.

The car came from Japan with about 12000 Km on the clock with all paper work even I was surprised to get the fax on the car from the dealers info list. The car only had one owner and he died a while back so the car sat for a very long time. Well even the engine shows signs of low milage, but even with all the paper work for the car I still don't believe them. My main reason for not be leaving them is because the car has a new model blitz boost controller greedy twin plate clutch I can hear it. Greedy FMI. Oil cooler kit with full mines exhaust, along with some HKS gauges.

Well after reading up on the GTR's I now know that the turbos are the first weak link, so I contacted Kyle at 6boost and asked him his recommendations for max power with very fast spool. He mentioned that I can go with a gtx3582r with Garretts twin scrole housing, he will build me a twin scrole manifold using twin Tial MSV waste gate. The engine is fully stock, but I'm planning on building it using the Tomie stocker kit for the bottom end, and going with a fully built head from Jun in Japan.

Now I already have the turbos waste gate, and manifold from Kyle at 6 boost. I'm only waiting on the oil return lines and some couplings to link the turbo to the intercooler piping.

What do you guys think of the setup. Will it be very fast spooling?

How will it work on a stock motor, and what would the max boost be on a stock motor now that I can boost past 1 bar. With a good tune of course.

Will the turbo be to small with the strocker kit?

I have build GTST and run 30+ psi on them and after a long time now I have learnt all of there weakness

What I have found is that the hydraulic litters fail, and the GTRs head uses solid litters, I always wondered if I was to use a NEO head how it would work, cause the NEO head is solid as well. After launching the GTR the 4wd system won me over. Launching at 8500 RPMs kills a new vet in the quarter he runs me down but can't pass me before the finish first and second gear takes it. LMAO only if I new these GTRs are so fast stock even my 30+ psi GTST can't catch it in the quarter. We don't race on a official track we use paved roads so traction is a bitch.

I can't wait to see how fast the spool is, and I'm guessing with this manifold the GTX turbo should love it.

Hands down to Kyle from 6 boost for building the best manifolds I've ever seen.

No, I dont think we have seen a setup like that. Its a big flowing turbo, usually too big for a 2.5 but it may be good with the stroker kit. What size will it be taken out to?

I assume you are sticking with 98? It should hit over 400kw I guess and hit good boost around 4K (if you don't go too big on the rear housing.)

Ok thanks for the feed back mate.

It's a Garrett GTX3582R 6Boost twin scrolle manifold with dual Tial MSV waste gates with the divid rear housings. I have some good pics of the setup but I'm still working out how to post them from my IPad.

The motor is stock right now, I also got a Tomia internal fuel pump with fuel rail.

To finish it of I got two Z32, AFM's and a fuel regulator.

The car has a Bliz boost controller that's nice. Displays a lot of info.

A power FC is standard in all my cars.

Oh and the little things HKS spark plugs.

I plan on installing some new injectors soon as possible. I'm sure at around 20 psi the stock injectors will reach there max duty cycle.

My goal is around 700hp to the wheel and for reliability I will build the motor after I feel this set up stoking it with Tomie's 2.8l stoker kit.

The hp was is not just the main thing I am looking for, response is mainly my ultimate disiure. But yet keeping a high realistic hp level should be funny to drive on the week days, with minamal lag.

Building the motor for response will untimatily yeid more than just the pumping air into it setup. ( turbo setup)

So any good ideals for the cam lift and duration alone with degree would play a key factor in gaining max respond, and for me trying the turbo setup first will kind of open my eyes to where the weak or lacking spots are in the power band. Keeping these things on mind when building the motor.

Keep it coming mate I appreciate all your help.

I will read up on the GTX posts thanks

I have ran 25 psi max out at single z32 MAF meter. On a rb25 with stock internal good tune. I did this on 22 psi for months and after a week on 25psi the 25 died but. Had all the right bolt ons the ring landings failed on 2 cylinders after that I build the motor and I'm still having fun, I just got a haltech ps2000 for the GTST and now I wil really puch it lol. Oh nag hat was with a 6 boost manifold Tial 44 mm waste gate and a Garrett GT35R I cant remember the housing size. I think it was smaller a 62 maybe.

The 26 is much stronger from being the under dog for may year, from what I understand. Lol

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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

      hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
