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.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
