Hi guys, planning on getting a gtr r33 (realy would like a r34 tho) that needs a full engine rebuild in the near future for a solid base, and was wondering if eny pro engine builders out there that have build gtr engines befor and knows what stuff is strong would like to recommend some solid parts that would last for years to come, iam willing to spend up to 10gz to get 500hp at the wheels including 2 new turbos?, I also want to rebuild this engine my self, I have been reading a lot but nothing gets stick to 1 bran, theres allways debates of what forge con rods are better then what bran etc, if iam picking a conrod for 500hp I would like it to survive at least 1000hp just for peace of mind, the car will be just for street dragging and daily drive,

how much fuel consumption am I looking at for a 500hp machine? could I have to 2 settings for boost, lower boost for normal driving and lower fuel consumption and higher boost for dragging?

not trying to be rude here but if your a noob like me please don't recommend products, I can google and read too, sorry,

iam also pretty sure theres only 1 awd dyno in Darwin NT, most likey would have to hire somebody from down south to fly up for a few days if they would let me rent there dyno

A few questions:

1: when u say $10k do u mean engine itself or supporting mods also?

2: building yourself will save heaps of $$$ but do u have experience?

May need to budget for errors you will make.

To put it in perspective I spent $20k on my rb25 motor (including labour) to make a safe 345rwkw @25psi not including supporting mods.

Some estimated costs for consideration:

Ecu $1500

Turbos $3k

Rods/pistons $2k

Dumps/mani $2k

Oil pump $2k

Injectors $1k

Cams/valves/springs: $1500

Boost controller: $300

Total $13ish

Prices based on your need for solid reliable parts. Obviously little things like head gasket, afm, braided lines etc not included nor fuel pump or machining costs.

If just "street dragging" (ur words not mine) n daily duties trusted brands will be fine.

CP/JE pistons, nitto/spool rods, 6 boost mani, jap brand exhaust, tomei/nitto oil pump, koya rad for stable temps.

You kind of contradict yourself in that u budget $10k but want to pick parts well above the power range your hoping to achieve ie 1000hp rods.

There will need to be sacrifices made.

I average 200/300kms a tank depending on driving style. Technically I cam watch the fuel go down if extended thrashing is involved.

Yes u can have high and low boost its called a boost controller, depending on tune will reflect fuel consumption, that said the motor is built an dthe difference will be minimal it is more how u drive the car then the differnce of 5psi between high and low.

You need to provide more info of what the car already has.

Hope u pull this off and good luck.

Also with street dragging just dont end up round a pole or worse into another car.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
