Hey all,

Posting on behalf of a mate.

He has a 33 GTST and has the following mods (track only car)

1000cc injectors

Power Fc

Profec 2 boost controller

Walbro E85 pump

Cam gears and cams

z32

Stripped the car completly.

Runs slicks on the rear

Looking at what turbo and what top mount manifold to use?

Plus what forward facing to use?

Will a bigger throttle body be needed?

What he is setting it up for is 1/8th mile dragging.

Hes after a turbo for excellent response and mid range power.

The engine will be rebuilt if / when it goes bang.

Not chasing any specific power goal, just decent times over the 1/8th mile

What options are there?

Only needs to pull hard from a standing start to the end of an 8th mile!

Any other mods needed to?

most cars on the strip are built for bigger power and even plenty of these street cars are the same and have much bigger setups. In yous instance you are talking 1/8th so the question has to be asked is why?

whats the point of the 1/8th? where you heading with the build?

whats quick on 1/8th is going to be usless (or just about) on 1/4

to be honest because the only venue i have to drive my car is an 1/8 mile track.

plus the car will be used for the occasional hill climb and the sorts.

So its more about response and excellent mid range, without running out of puff

Its just hard reading and getting ideas as there is nothing on here for what im looking for.

Its a strickly track only car also, so dont car about a rough idle for cams or a pig to drive etc as its out on the track a handful times a year etc etc

Gtx3071 on e85. Plazmaman plenum with his 72mm throttle body. Should be good for 350rwkw with killer response. Nitrous is awesome set up correctly. Unsure why people dislike the idea of using it. What's a nitrous kit worth now days?

I don't personally have that setup but micko on here did and from all reports pulled like a freight train all the way through. Maybe someone that actually know micko and went in it can explain more? Um I think he made 335rwkw on e85 internal gate version .82! Also on the stock mani aswell.

Lol @ top end, its an 1/8 mile you wont get half way though third gear,

just get a hiflow..stock plenum and everything...it will be just as quick for what you need...

the money you save put towards your suspension setup, tyres and practice runs because that's what will make you fast...

Anyway I know nobody will take any notice of this post so potato...

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
