Hay fellas

I'm starting to build my r34 gtt and i want to get about 260 to 300 kw at the rears.

So far I have a blitz return flow fmic

A pod filter

A 3 inch dump pipe to cat, And 4 inch cat back.

Is the 4inch cat back exhaust to big ?

Or should I buy a turbo to suit ?

On the to buy list is

Turbo

Injectors

Fuel pump

And ecu and tune

Am I missing something ?

Cheers

also easy to get massive kw,

just buy the usual shopping list tonns of fuel lots of over priced parts with a massive turbo and you will smash massive hp

also have a shit as all hell car to drive which will last for 3 months.

hard to make big kw, usable, reliable and well tuned.

Aim for 260 rather than 300 unless you have to have 300. Then get a Hypergear bolton, unless you're rich. Nistune ECU if you want to keep it as close to standard looking legal as possible, otherwise just about any aftermarket ECU will do the job (Hypergear will want to sell you an Adaptronic, which is OK, others here will tell you to go PowerFC, or Link or it's cousin, all of which are OK).

If you retain Nistune or PowerFC you'll need a Z32 AFM. Get some fuel system upgrades and a tune and you'll be gold.

Oh, and a clutch. Oh, and some better brakes. Oh, and thnik about making sure the dampers aren't dead, and the bushes. And so on.

Yep.

Clutch

Brakes

Suspension

Diff

Wider wheels and good tyres

That is roughly 6k just there and without it you 260rwkw car will be slower than a car with those mods and only 200rwkw

At 200rwkw my injectors were maxed and clutch started to slip.... So yes you certainly need to upgrade all the supporting items....

and at 360rwkw your clutch decided it wanted to be permanent part of your fly wheel.

I've read this 3 times and I'm still trying to work out what you were trying to communicate...

Lol yes this is correct....

Shows when building a decent GTT that overkill is never enough :)

better than the flywheel wanting to make close friends with your ankle... seen that too.

easy to make power, hard to make a good car

Kind of irrelevant for OP.... GTT is a tough base and a damn good car when built right

I will aim for 260 but if I can get more I won't complain :)

So a 4 inch cat back exhaust is over kill ?

I run a 3" system and I'm making 363kw, that being said the exhaust is choking the car a tad I reckon BUT 4" is not necessary.... If you go 3.5" then make sure it has big free flowing mufflers and none of this hotdog and cannon crap :)

if you already have it, just leave it on. it's overkill, but doesn't mena you need to go buy something smaller.

Good pick up, I didn't see that.... Yeah keep it if it's quiet and street able

E85 also masks some of that too.

If you tried it on pump you'd be unlikely to get there :)

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
