What N1 turbos you getting?

From memory they came from factory running about 1 Bar = 14.7 Psi.

(R32 GTR Nismo & N1 / R33 GTR N1 / R34 GTR V-Spec N1 & V-Spec II N1 / V-Spec II Nur / M-Spec Nur)

You could run a tad higher 1.1 Bar = 15.9 Psi / 1.2 Bar = 17.4 Psi.

What do you recommend? I'm open minded. Honestly, I was thinkin of purchasing the Garrett equivalents as I official N1 turbos would be pricey.

What's the diametre size of your car back?

If it's a 3", then go 3", if it's a 3.5" go 3.5" etc...

​Keep it consistent.

I thought these cars needed a little back flow. Having the whole exhaust the same size would not promote that.

Yes, genuine N1 turbos would be pricey at the same time rare to find.

Garrett -7's would be the closest to the N1 equivalents.

I am running Garrett -7's with 15.5 Psi, which is just over 1 Bar.

Later I will run about 18 Psi = 1.2 Bar, but will get my mechanic to see what he thinks best.

Many factors are involved but you'd run what's safe for the engine / what the turbos can handle, so when you go in for a tune after the twin turbo installation, your mechanic should be able to gauge what it can run.

Not that I know of... That theory might apply to N/A cars... As you can only go so big unless it's tuned for it...

With turbocharged cars, usually the bigger the better, but 3" / 3.5" is usually the upgrade we all go for and it frees up the exhaust flow.

​Just in regards to your bigger front mount intercooler, you were better off spending the money on Down and Front Pipes with a High Flow Cat.

Giving your GTR a full exhaust upgrade will benefit you more at this stage, if you just want to keep it stock-ish...

Stock GTR front mount intercooler can handle 300+ kW's.

But anyway, all for the better in the long run.

I know it'll do 400+ kW's for a fact as well ;)

I apolagize it has a 3.5 inch all the way through just had a look before with that and a bigger intercooler does that add any more hp with out a tune? Just curious cause next step is a bigger fuel pump, injectors, tune and ecu yeah?

:laugh: yes clearly, you would know!

Good and thanks for clarifying that!

So your exhaust is all good then!

Depends on what power out put you want... How many kW's you want?

Which determine if you need a bigger fuel pump / injectors / ECU / Tune or not...

Which is about 261 rwkW's.

You stock injectors / fuel pump / ECU can handle it.

The ECU will need a slight tweak but nothing crazy.

What ecu were you running?

Run a Nistune or an APex'i Power FC.

Id say that you will very quickly get bored of 250kw. So i would recommend a link ecu. I shouldve skipped the power fc stage and gone straight to a link

What link will you reccommend? Shouldn't get bored to quick as I'm only used to driving a vz sv6 haha

What's the highest stock whp that can be SAFELY achieved using stock components and N1 turbos?

To be safe for street use, anywhere around the 300kW mark at the rear wheels.

Two friends of mine on SAU are running stock RB26's but one has Garrett -7's and the other has Garrett -9's

Both making 300rwkW's, which is about 402HP at the wheels, if you want to measure in HP.

You could push it further but it will depend on the condition of the engine.

    • I've got some bad news unfortunately.  Turns out the car has some serious chassis damage and failed a structural report, which was needed because of a failed roadworthy.   I'm now sitting here wondering wtf I'm supposed to do with a car that I can't register and needs serious body work. 😓 Seriously feeling lost, ripped off and depressed over this. 
    • FYI if interested  Brake rotors got taken down to 389mm for clearance and all things adjusted accordingly #bolton Had a quick retune of the retune to change the VCT window plus some of this and that Took 7 weeks for me to get a barrell of fuel to run my car on the track = W.A Actually attempted to drive this thing on the track after 6 months when this shouldve really been 3 monthly ago Only a few laps - stuff didnt go right because electronic aids in the car mean you drive it a certain way when its indicated they are on and they are actually not things dont go great quickly - car fixed and refreshed + thats been fixed with additional warnings and other thing built in now Noted - even mucking around at prob 60 - 70% the aero was now hitting the ground where it hadnt previously at 100% plus the balance of the car is improved - hence without shock pots etc etc you can tell the new aero additions have done something reasonably significant Suspension out - change the bumps and some packers  Tried to go out again - lightning and thunder storms / rain in Perth for the  first time in 50 years for the hour I had - didnt get out V8SC are now here so no track time at Barbs for many weeks - an going to try go down to our other track a few hours away and try to get in the seat Got the below as a pressie recently - yes I dont mind the odd lego + this is very good I think and if not into lego even can appreciate someones craftmanship of this level  
    • ok will do, cheers guys build thread on M35 Stagea Tuner Facebook group here if you can't wait. 
    • look up "kota the yota" on youtube he runs an export business to the us and specialises in r34's
    • I understand that the R34 ECU can be sensitive to what is going on wrt the coilpacks/loom. You'd be well advised to put a Consult reader onto the diagnostic port and read the codes. The one(s) in the ECU will be the ones most likely to tell you what's going on. The TCS light will be a secondary effect.
