Forgive the terminology, maybe I will get it later on

Well bs is still alive in the carsales industry and why am I supprised

The R34 I am buying that was supposed to be able to be tuned to 700HP to 800HP could not make 400HP. It could not get enough boost to kick the turbo off.I think he said it was only about 12 lb., it was about 200KW

Had it on the Dyno today and found out I need a turbo boost controller and new cam once the turbo controller was installed to be able to take the power it was capible of acheiving , Mmmmmmm

Trouble is learning can be an expensive business Grrrrrrrrrr!

[Nismo 3.2ish]

The new parts are ,HKS EVC 5 Electronic Boost Controller and a Tomie Pon drop in Camshaft and from I can find out they seem like good quality, OK ??

[Ben C34]

Woah dude. Slow down.... you are going to rip yourself off unless you relax and do some research.

[wedge_r34gtr]

^^^ Agreed.

Cam's and a boost controller won't suddenly generate 400hp.

What is the current specs of the engine?

[djvoodoo]

What makes you think you can achieve 700+ HP? What Turbo are you running? Is that your engine bay in your avatar? looks like you have a high mount single?

Going from 200KW to 350+ with just a change of boost controller is highly doubtful... Unless you can tell everyone what the specs are of your engine...

[R31Nismoid]

And "buying" would suggest you've not paid for it.

By the sounds of it, you should be staying well clear of it

[Trex]

It's ok guys. This is my car and will easily make 700HP

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Thanks for your input guys, I have paid the deposit and signed the contract, I am not worried about that, the car is worth it to me, I just get sick of being crapped to.

The motor work was done by Croydon Racing Developements and from what I found out about them they know what they are doing.

The car had $42K SPENT ON THE MOTOR , too many things to write and most of it I do not understand but here are some of the mods; GikenT78 Single turbo kit, OS quad Clutch, push /pull kit, Koyorad radiator , custom made catch tank, Z32 air flow meter', ,nitto h beam connecting rods; je/nitto rb 26 forged pistons, nitto rb series high volume oil pump, 9 lt sump conversion, machine work on engine block, engine rebuild- hand file rings ect, bosch fuel pump ; and all of the other bits and peices that needed to be done.

That is not counting stuff that Advan Performance did, I think they know their stuff.

So there was alot of money spent and the work was done by people in the performance business. I feel OK about the car, well I love it

I do not know very much about getting a R34 up and running and I maybe wrong, but 600HP, I will soon find out?

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Some of the parts should give someone an idea of the type of work done on the engine, no thoughts on what was done to the engine can get up to 600hp ?

When the cam and boost control have been fitted and after the final tune mid next I will take a photo of the Dyno readout and post it

Woah dude. Slow down.... you are going to rip yourself off unless you relax and do some research.

A bit late it seems.....

[Nismo 3.2ish]

A bit late it seems.....

They just added the Boost controller and Dyno done, 338 AWKW ,so nowhere near the sales pitch talk.

Spoke to the bloke at CRD and he said it is a good unit and if I wanted more from it i would need to update the fuel system and a new cam and they could lift the performance, think that will be enough for me for a while and see what I want to do in the future .

So I will pick it up on Saturday and see how it goes on the 330 kls ride home , should be fun

[wolverine]

Do you know what injectors and fuel pump are in the car atm?

Cams wouldn't be on my list just more fuel and more boost and good tuning.

[UWISSH!]

Normally when those figures are thrown around it means that the engine is capable of making that power given all the supporting mods are in place.

You clearly didn't do much research into what you bought, u just saw a big parts list n they told you this n that and you were none the wiser.

Without a complete fuel system including surge tank and external pumps it's never realy gona make over 400kw (540 hp).

Mine maxed out at 401kw

Also a fuel system from croydon is not cheap, I know from experience as they built mine.

So unless your going to spend cash on a fuel system and upgrade to e85 your not going to see over 550hp

[75coupe]

I seriously doubt he even knows what parts are what, saw brand names and huge list and let edward lee take his money... Research??? What for its just his daily

[UWISSH!]

Also who builds a forged motor with all that and doesn't even put in a simple boost controller?

Also a Gtr has camshafts (there is 2 of them)

If it didn't have a set of basic aftermarket cams in there all ready then I'd take it that no head work was carried out at all and now even less likely to make 7-800hp

[Ben C34]

Obviously TT350GT is excited. I hope you enjoy the car.

also 800 at the wheel/ dyno hp is a f**king monster. do you want that sort of power, do you understand what that is like to drive and maintain?

if you get a solid reliable 450-500 atw then you have got to be happy.

sorry to say it again but if your not sure on whats what with the parts list then a 7-800hp car might not be the best idea to chase.

do you like driving it? is it a good car? then drive it love it and be happy with a good purchase.

i can say my rb25 is capable of 800hp.......with $200k

Ontop of that it would be boring as hell to drive everyday as with that power you are not seeing boost in the rpm you spend most your time in on the road, when I drove a 500kw gtr on the road it really felt boring compared to a 350kw one that is until you go past 5-6k lol.
