Hi guys,was wondering on a rough power estimate someone could give me on my new set up before it gets tuned.. Im hoping for around 350-400 im hoping this is possible (rb25 det)

Mods include:

Apexi power fc

Arp head studs

Slide industries gt35r turbo kit

Z32 afm

Turbosmart afpr

Bosch 750cc inj

Excedy h/duty clutch

Split fire coil packs

Hks fuel rail

Greddy plenum

Bosch 044 (x2) fuel pumps

3l surge tank

Cometic head gasket

Avcr boost controller

Any advice would be appreciated :),keep in mind this is a fairly standard engine and im new to the forced induction world (355 stroker man) cheers heaps :)

350kw should be attainable (470whp).

the trick is making sure you have no boost leaks and have the right size pipes from air filter to muffler tip.

please check out the RB25 dyno thread, a few minutes read will answer this question.

welcome to the dark side.

Result will be the same as any other GT35 setup really, it's the turbo that will dictate the power as long as the exhaust can flow.

Things like a fuel rail, FPR - don't give power, in fact they don't even offer much of anything. On a stock motor, overall, risky business pushing towards 400rwkw

Also you might find the clutch wont last too long as something else to budget for.

You'll find that patience will help a great deal. Hang back a couple of months and read all the popular threads in this section (just keep an eye on the first page and passively read whatever comes up).

After a couple of months you'll be a lot more confident in your parts selection and how to set things up.

Probably the best read for you right now is the Kando dynamic thread. It shows what a stock RB25 can get away with when you set up a reasonable turbo.

Enjoy and feel free to PM if you feel your getting lost.

Thanks so much i really appreciate it.. Everythings bolted on just need to find someone to tune it now :)

A good tune is critical - post up your location and you might get pointed to a tuner who knows his stuff (and RBs).

Grafton nsw :)

Damn that is tricky, i dont know any RB tuners anywhere close to you but hopefully one of the other guys will have some input!

Best to hire a trailer and go for a trip to see the banana benders up north :)

Lol all class!

Was told matt spry from pitts on the goldy is the go when it comes to tuning :) am just about to go pick up a good set of axles and springs and im a make me a trailer ;)

Have heard that name bouncing around before! Lucky basterd having the skills/tools to make a trailer :woot:

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
