Hi guys i need some advise before going to dyno i got some stock r32 turbo freshly rebuilt with 360 thrust bearing with the inconel steel exaust wheel + hks axaust + m's air filter + tomei cam gear + nismo fpr + tomei fuel pump ... Ok so my main concern is did these turbo will max out( push hot air ) before maxing out the injector or the maf??? So at all what will maxing out the first thing ???

Sorry for my english :s

Thanks

Nic

GTR or GTSt? Thread title suggests GTR. OP text suggests single turbo.

Stock GTR turbos ran out of flow at about the same power as the original injectors did, so it's probably a guessing game as to which will clip first when you have an upgraded fuel pump. If the Nismo FPR is adjustable then you might be able to squeeze a little more flow again.

The same comments hold true for RB20DET. The stock turbo reaches a limit (14psi) around the same point where you run out of injector and AFM range (in the 170rwkw range depending on a lot of little factors). But a steel wheeled stock turbo can be pushed to higher boost and so then the limitation is most certainly not the turbo if you have a decent intercooler.

if the turbo still has the stock comp wheel, exh housing etc, the turbo will run out of puff before anything else.... think around 140-160rwkw.

Ah crap, I was thinking hr32 not bnr32 when you said turbo not turbo's.

Bnr/GTR twins, you'll be looking at around 220rwkw at a guess. It's hard to say without knowing exactily what is in the turbo's.

Sorry its for the bnr32 everything in the turbo is stock exept for the 360degree thrust bearing suppose to hold more psi than the conventionel 270 degre and of coirse the inconel steel exaust wheel ... housing stock

Thank you for reply guys

The way I read it is Nic has an Rb26 with the e-bay turbines upgrade?

He's done the fuel pump and a few other items so all things being equal it should top out closer to the 300rwkw end rather than the 200rwkw.

Stock injectors would call it a day under the 300rwkw, AFM's would go a bit more.

Turbos would not be operating too efficiently but the upgrade only cost a few hundred bucks, can't expect 21st century results.

Can you post a bit of your setup pls and how much boost you have at the time??

Thanks

Yeh mate, just basic mods really.

Front pipes, trust exhaust, decat, power fc, standard airbox with apexi filter and cam gears. 287rwkw spiked to 17.5 psi dropping down to 15.5 in higher rev range.

Everything else was standard on an unopened engine. I replaced injectors and fuel pump later on as a precaution, they were 20 years old as well as reconditioned afm.

Wasn't making that much more power with more boost and you'll find that it won't hold such high boost anyway with standard wastegates and solenoid. This is where it made most power efficiently and safely.

End of the day you are still limited by the compressor wheel. Regardless of 360 degree bearings or non-ceramic rear... You'll only ever be making 280-290rwkw as the turbos simply do not flow the air to make anymore than that.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
