I created this because I'm entered in race wars (thankyou antilag)

And I trying to decide weather to keep the -5s and keep upping the boost hoping to make power.

Or dich them and use the GCG T04Z with 6Boost manifold that I have laying around??

Who has driven both what did you like best?

Its not a daily car!!

It's for fun!

434hp at 20psi

And I trying to decide weather to keep the -5s and keep upping the boost hoping to make power.

I'd be looking at your setup. You're a bit behind the 8 ball in regards to your power vs boost.

This... 19/20psi should be showing a good 30rwkw more.

123mph is roughly 320rwkw in a R32 GTR so your dyno reading is right, but for the amount of boost it's pretty poor. 320rwkw is -9 power @ 20psi, not -5s @ 20psi.

-5s should be closer to 127-130mph (370-400rwkw) on 20-24psi

Fix the setup before changing it is always a good rule of thumb.

Yer I'm not sure about 434hp because it was at ovaboost dyno ( lowest reading dyno in Perth as far as I know)

Also

(full weight plus fuel and 2 passengers aprox 80kg each)

I think its fair to say total weight would be 1500kg at least!! (3307 pounds)

Put that in a 1/4 mile calculator with 196km (121mph)

Comes back with 481.5HP!!!

Does sound right???

So where to look? 

Arc induction box 

Tomei manifolds 

Tomei dumps 

HKS front pipes twin 70 into 85mm

3" decat pipe 

HKS  silent exhaust fitted after tune!  95mm according to nengun!

Had kakimoto dual 70mm cat back exhaust (too loud) 

PFC 

Nismo AFM's 

Tomei type B cams (set to 0) 

Port polished head

Hard inter cooler pipe kit (JJR I think) 

Stock intake pipes and twin turbo pipe 

Stock plenum 

HKS copy 100mm intercooler (could this cause restriction? 

I have trust 115mm intercooler laying around!

Forged bottom end nothing special

So I would start at the intercooler easy 

But would the 3" decat pipe be too small? 

maybe 3.5" would be better? 

After that should I look at Greddy induction  kit?? 

Maybe a plenum?

Your MPH is near on perfect for the power you are making, if anything the MPH is a little low (but no more than 2-3 MPH). So the dyno is more certainly not reading low, it's right on the money IMO.

If you had a passenger/full tank of fuel then that explains why your MPH is a bit down so don't worry about it.

Forget the drag calcs, they dont take into account diffs/gearing and other things. I've never found them to be accurate for GT-Rs

As for your parts list the potential problems would be

1. 3" de-cat

2. the apparent 3.5" exhaust. Most jap exhausts have a inbuilt restrictor in them near a muffler to help reduce noise, so they are not a true 3.5". People have found them taper down to 2.75" in some occassions which is a major issue

3. Intercooler might be a problem... A stock GTR intercooler is fine for 400rwkw so not really sure why you'd go to a potentially inferior item

Your Airbox should be fine, the plenum is more than fine (good for 400rwkw+) so probably start at the exhaust side which is where most issues usually come from.

Ok well I have changed the exhaust to HKS (no restrictors from what I can see and after reading for hours have come to the conclusion that it doesn't have any! Sounds like kakimoto do!!

so is a 3" decat really going to be restrictive At about 500rwhp??

Ok I will change intercooler should I go back to stock?? or put the 115mm Trust one on???

Twin turbo pipe?? It this a draw back at this power level

I have seen people modify them or just replace with HKS or Greddy but has there been gains in going this???

And last AFM's?? (using PFC)

I have a spare vipec so I could remove them

I have heard of people removing the mesh? Gains??

Yes if the rest if 3.5" - going to 3" will choke.

To test simply drop it from the front pipe merge and dyno run it, you'll soon see.

Cooler - test the pressure drop pre & post cooler, decide from there.

TT pipe - again no. Factory piping is fine for 400rwkw. They only mod the stock one to avoid compressor surge/shuffle, you shouldn't have that with -5s.

AFMs - again not a restriction. Two Nismo AFMs will flow 400rwkw no worries. Mesh it was proven gives no tangible result either

Ok thank you very much

Sorry but one last question I read an interesting post about valve springs and not making power?

When valve springs were changed power was greatly increased??

Could I run into this problem with the -5s or the T04z??

Head was rebuilt but stock springs were reused (all checked rates etc)

Late last year I changed my -5 set up to a to4z setup. The most I could ever get out of the -5 set up was 380rwkw. Even though the dyno stated that power it never felt like it. I took it back and they found that it was only only making 330rwkw. They found a few problems which they tried to rectify and the best I could manage was 365rwkw on pulp and 25psi of boost. I changed to a to4z with a .84 rear housing and on 20psi it now makes 415rwkw. It is a little more laggy compared to -5s but once on the roll the big single certainly has the muscle in the top end which is what l wanted. Although I have not run it yet, it gives you an indication on what power you can expect if you change over.

At the end of the day the decision is up to you.

Dont you reckon your exhaust would have been a restriction then?

Anybody can slap on a big turbo and make some numbers

Exactly :)

A T04Z setup well on PULP will smash out 440rwkw comfortably, would go higher on E85

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
