1994 R32 Gtr - Stock To ~320Kw.

[XGTRX]

-1

 

I ran a stock internal to 450rwhp for years.  Tracked it, hillclimbed it, drove it on the road. It was fine.  Then I had it rebuilt and it all turned to custard.

 

If you can live with it off the road for 6 months then just use it up with the stock internals.

20 years of unknown history running at 10psi, boost it to 22psi....you better be ready.....it's a gamble doesn't matter which way you look at it. As long as the OP is aware that you are increasing the risk of something going wrong. And it is far cheaper than what you are suggesting and having an engine fail and paying for labour and turbos again.

Couple of quick pictures

Plasti-dipped front bumper.

List of stuff had done by Josh last time:

Bcbr coilovers fitted

Work Meister s1r 28x10 +12 fitted

Archilles 123s 265x35x18

Blitz front pipes

Front and rear camber arms

Rear castor arms

Replaced busted CV

Serviced all the usual suspects

Twin plate coppermix fitted

High flow panel filter

The difference in response the clutch and flywheel is insane feels like a more powerful different car even with no power mods as yet.

Next up is:

Front r34 brembos

Rear castor arms

Braided lines

New pads

Rear sway bar

Front and rear strut braces

With the handling all taken care of I'll start building towards my power figure.

Would like to take this opportunity to thank and recommend josh and the team at galvsport I couldn't be happier.

Look at the Alpha Omega EVO brembo brake upgrade with 350mm discs, the bolts for the 34 brembos are 14mm against 12mm for the 32 ones so they don't just bolt on

[Ambi3nce]

Bit of an update, car made 470 HP most of the HP/torque by around 5500 rpm.

Will post dyno and parts list when pick it up today

Cool. Look forward to the update

^^ This!

If you want Brembo's, get a set of R32 GTR V-Spec / V-Spec II or R33 GTR calipers as they will be a straight fit and bolt on.

You will have to custom make, the R34 GTR Brembo's fit.

The GTR Brembo's are good for street and light / occasional track work but if you want to seriously track your car, look into a set of aftermarket race caliper setup.

Chiming in

Good work and all good advice by the lads

Nice figures - did you go -9's ?

[Ambi3nce]

Ended up with r34 brembos got hubs drilled.

Yeah 9s will post dyno graph when I get it, they ran out of breath early as expected but came on 18 psi early and strong

Copy Paste from another forum.

Right here is the full list of work done this round anyway,

Engine :

Garrett 9-s
Mines Ceramic Coated Dump Pipes
Vipec V88 ecu
Blitz radiator
HKS cam gears
Tomei Type B 260/260 9.15 pon cams
DW1200 injectors
Splitfire Coilpacks
Walbro 465 E85 pump
Rips Sump Kit
Oil pump Billet gears sourced locally
ATI 1000hp harmonic balancer
Major service


Misc:
Project MU pads up front
Valley and Cam covers painted wrinkle black
Plenum soda blasted
New R34 valley emblem
Cusco brake cylinder brace
Removed clutch vacuum assist lines
Lifted car 20-30mm
New heater hoses/gaskets bolts and various other parts you would expect
Run new wiring relay to pump as stock had a current drop


Thats all the major stuff, the budget was added to significantly as decided to take the advice of josh and many of you guys here in regards to tackling the oiling issues early, sump, pump gears and harmonic balancer were extras that required engine out, it worked out fine in the end since reduced a little labour in other areas and gave me the chance to soda blast the horrible flaky intake plenum paint and paint the valley/cam covers.

Only spoke briefly to the tuner (Sean at ASG) but was as you would expect, made 470hp and turbos ran out of breath in top end which suits me fine when the original build brief was formed. Aimed for response and midrange, from the look of the graph and the very short spin I took in it today its within those parameters.

Still cruises around in traffic perfectly happily off boost and clutch feel is only slightly heavier so still very easy to daily drive. I am in love with the new idle/exhaust note though, good amount of volume without being ridiculous.

Will post the Dyno results when I get them and after have a debrief with Josh as to how it all went as he was busy today when I took it for a quick test.

Plans for future are for one to enjoy it and get it onto some track days to stretch its legs and learn to drive it but the main priority is to get the exterior to immaculate, so ill find some nismo rear pods, fix a few tiny dents and do a few small things.

Still smiling ear to ear haha

[Sinista32]

Well done and not cheap. Will get a lot of pleasure now

Yeah decided to follow all advice I received about making it bullet proof and did that to the best I can

[XGTRX]

congrats mate. Now enjoy driving it.

[Ambi3nce]

Here's the dyno.

Full boost a little later than had hoped but tuner did say could move curve a bit so somewhere down the line may look at trying to get 18psi by 4k.

Stoked with power figure though.

Quick update, went in for retune to swing cams to bring boost on earlier.

Dialed in 20psi over previous 18psi. Gained 2HP, 30+nm torque and boost is on almost 700rpm earlier. Very happy with how it is now, I would not have though that 500-700rpm in boost earlier would make such a difference, but it feels night and day.

Also got launch control set up for vipec so I can not fail miserably at the drags when I eventually get down,

[XGTRX]

Nice and strong. Must be nice to drive on the street and should be a blast on the track. Good stuff mate.

[Tyranus]

Neat and tidy build congrats and enjoy.

Yeah the retune made a huge difference, I did not think 700rpm would feel so different but it so much better on the street, havn't had a chance to track it yet. Blew a cooler pipe today for first time so may have to start swapping out some old pipes for newer ones/clamps.

Neat and tidy build congrats and enjoy.

Thanks man, that is the plan. Next break from work will get some small tidy up jobs done, tints to try protect the interior from the ridiculous heat here and getting some small dents removed.

[Piggaz]

700 rpm is night and day. 200 rpm is heaps!!!

Area under the curve just makes the car so much nicer to drive!

[timmy_89]

Nice build thread mate. Car looks clean, the wheels suit perfect! Awesome power delviery too.

What's the next plans for the car?

Thanks man,

Next is a few small things, tint, few small dents removed, basically get it as good as I can short of a respray.

Need to buy and install a defi 3 gauge cluster as I want oil/coolant temp and boost pressure which exceeds stock gauge.

Also will be replacing the Gsensor with a digital unit as mine is starting to read a bit off and is throwing the torque to the front at strange times.

Yeah Its so much more fun to drive now, feels alot quicker too
