car is stock as a rock with 77 thousand on the clock so it needs love

who does a decent stroker so i can do some research ?

Ok so then add another 10k as you need injectors, AFM, ECU, clutch, exhaust, oil cooler, radiators, ducting, brakes and then the labour to fit the turbos and fixing up the small bits along the way as well.

To go from stock car to a stroked 400krw track machine, that is reliable and actually consistently fast - 35k is the start point, and no, I'm not joking.

the plot thickens did the cooler my self already not sure on the state of the exhaust some sort of 5gine 5 inch tip

Yeah 5" at the end, might have a 2.5 restrictor in the middle (lots of Jap exhausts do) :thumbsup:

i was worried about this any brand i should be looking at to replace it or go custom made?

is there any advantage to using TI over normal stainless apart from weight

is the one inch for every 100 kw rule gosphel ?

dump pipe and exhaust manifold sizing ?

Oh whops...

400rwkw = 4" baby, and @ 4" you'll need to go custom and ensure it's tucked close as you can for height issues. Ti is just weight.

If you are going -5s stock manifolds are fine, as are the turbos as they come.

Any benefits of porting the stock manifolds? Just in the top end?

Might be, no one has done on car testing back to back. Only flow bench and people seem to make the power regardless.

So won't hurt and if you do - never take too much, will make it weak and then cracking can occur

If you want better response, then the most cost effective way of doing this is swapping the exhaust manifold to a tuned length type with 1" runners. I have just done this conversion to my RB25 with GTRS turbo and the response is as good as the stock ceramic turbo, but I make more power everywhere (with over 255 rwkw at the top end).

R32Nismoid mentioned earlier in this thread about the 1" runners choking your top end power, that's nonsense - he clearly has no experience with this kind of manifold.

Speak to Nathan Weissel at O2 Autosports, his drift car has an RB26 with a big single, it runs one of these manifolds (albeit in twin scroll and with twin wastegates) that makes 424 rwkw and sees boost in the range you are looking for.

What turbo?

:rolleyes:

Nice try... But... Your entire comment is nonsense pal as this is what i said:

It's always interesting as the turbine housing is usually always where the restriction is, so promoting flow outta the head larger/smaller runners - would be interesting to see how much response you would actually get.

Yep clearly said 1" runners on the exhaust manifold would hurt top end :rolleyes:

What turbo?

And fuel

And the testing to show differences between runner types

etc etc.

^ and with good reason, making them response driven from the exhaust side maybe hurts too much in the top end?

That was the comment I was referencing in my above post, but maybe I was a bit harsh as you did put a question mark on the end.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
