As suggested above, you should try to find all your own parts and save some money as much as you can. Use eBay to find all those cheap copy fuel pumps, plenums and exhaust manifolds.

That way they can charge you the time the job takes, plus the time to tidy up or repair the cheap part, charge you to replace the part when it fails and charge you all the labour again to fix it.

You'll save heaps.

Do it once, do it right !

It will cost you but it will be done properly.

yeh no that's not goin to happen build it proply the 1st time.

Excellent to hear.

If you find cheaper prices for parts they are offering, maybe ask them if they'll match it.

I don't doubt the parts list will be appropriate for the power you want to make but there are a lot of things involved in a build like that. Do you really need that plenum?

Do they do all their own engines or are the built somewhere else? What kind of warranty do they offer on their work (inc the engine) if any at all.

What kind of gaurantee do they give that you'll make the quoted power. It's a lot of money to spend only to fall short of your goal

They recently did a nitto rb32 build for a customer with an r34 gtr and oh my God so so much power..best part was customer had unlimited budget so they were able to do things properly.. Car drives like stock but when you floor it, destroys the road under it haha.

I thought you had a HTA3586?, anyways cams are to big for a start... looks like

a lot of money for f**kall gain..you seem to like to spend money for no apparent reason(and no i am not having a go at you

just having cars and mates with similair setups..thats total and utter overkill for the turbos you want, K.I.S.S, is what you want to do

quality parts that will do the job asked with overdoing/overkill them...you will spend twice as much for no reason or reliability..

You REALLY need to decide what you want before you start...

Just a quick one....I was reading through the list again and noticed you are only using 1000cc injectors and a pump that flows 400 L/min @ 60psi.

That pump will just scrape in at 650hp at the wheels on E85 so you should be ok for flow there but the injectors are really only good for 550hp on E85 so maybe you should ask them about 1600cc or 2000cc injectors instead?.

You can just bump the rail pressure up to make the injectors flow more but the pump will then flow less and it brings it closer to your 450kw margin. Just some food for thought anyway

to be honest I also thought they where on the smaller side if and when I Desideed to go E85 so yes bigger injectors I will get Edited by MRHD66

Honestly....I would develop a fantastic relationship with a workshop and get them to build the thing. Price sounds about right but its the things you can't put a dollar value to that are important. You take $1000 off the price somehow and eventually you will be paying $5000 back to them or someone else.

to be honest I also thought they where on the smaller side if and when I Desideed to go E85 so yes bigger injectors I will get

If and when? You're going to make 600hp at the wheels on 98? I applaud your courage

Can be done. Much safer on E85. The cubes should help but still.....

lol, so glad I'm not in the automotive industry anymore. People think you're ripping them off if you charge them for the time you spend sourcing parts. Then they say you did a shit job when the parts they supply that you've never used turn to shit, assuming they even give you everything you need. They also expect you to take up the warranty with the companies they bought the parts from :thumbsup:

    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
