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

Nic

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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
