Hey guys Iv been reading the rb26 power postings and sorta got an idea on what to spend my money on but the powers vary so much?

I'm looking for about 350awkw but wanna try stay away from internal stuff as much as possible

The cars a 94 r32 GTR

Mods:

R34 gtr turbos

Twin pod filters in a inclosed box

Greddy plenum not on yet

Blitz blow off valves

3in Jasma front pipe

I dunno what it's making now the guy I bought if off didn't know, any ideas?

I was thinking of adding...

Tomei pro cams and oversize valves

Tomei ti extreme cat back exhaust

Cam gears

Aero flow fuel rail

850cc injectors

Aluminium radiator with twin thermos

Tomei oil pan baffle

Engine torque dampener

Power fc with hand control

Apexi avcr boost controller

Greddy catch can

Bc coil overs

Front and rear strut braces

d1r 18 x 10 wheels

And bride stradia low maxs

What do we all think about those mods?

To over the top?

Do I need other mod or not need some of them?

I wouldn't mind more power ether so if that gives me more all good ?

I don't wanna go out and buy all this and then find out I need to spend another 2k ?

Any kind of help would be great ?

Oversized valves and procams are not needed. Stock cams will make 350kw atw's no problem. Injector dynamics 1000cc injectors over the 850cc.forget the twin thwrmo's on the radiator and stick with the stock clutch fan and stock Nissan surround. Cam gears are good and atleast a 3.5" exhaust. If it were me I'd sell the the r34 gtr turbos and buy some -5's . If e85 is available I'd be going with that as well, make more power easier and SAFER. if you can afford forget the power fc and go a adaptronic/vipec. At that power level you'll need to look at a NPC clutch as well. No need for boost controller. A good ecu will do this.

Ps. There in tonnes's of info on here for your goals do some reading.

surely that cant be 7k all fitted and tuned??

you should look into the following "only my opinion"

getting a larger sump and oil pump - so you restrict the chance of the motor going bang

screw the power FC and AVCR, - get a vipec as it has boost control in it allready

if you are working to a budget, no need for the ti exhaust (unless you really want it)

may want to consider springs and retainers while the heads apart for new valves. but i dont think you would need any of it for that power, just some drop in cams

for the cost of decent 850cc injectors you can get 1000cc or 2000cc and be ready for E85 in the future - fuel rail only if required for injectors

try and get better coilovers than Better China if you can even 2nd hand Teins should be same price

350rwkw for $7,000 is simply - not possible, especially when:

- Turbos

- ECU / Tune

- Injectors

- Labour

Which will total around $6500 on their own. The rest of your parts list would put you over $20,000... If you did 10mins of homework :thumbsup:

Please use the search function to do some proper research.

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
