two.06l, was that using stock internals, and pump fuel? I didn't think manifolds made much of a diff on the GTR...

I think its more attributable to the 25psi boost pressure. At this boost there wouldn't be much room for error when running pump fuel and a non-forged bottom end.

yeah fair point but we are on the safe side of the limit and we have a very strong engine combo.as well as the best tuner looking after the numbers

two.06, yeah ive read the specs on your car before and your bottom end should handle 25psi no probs. My comments were directed at others whom are running 2530's on stock bottom ends like myself. 20psi on pump fuel with no octane booster is a safe limit and should see 320 - 340rwkw.

That should be good for 550kw @ the wheels. Overshooting the target a bit?

yea thought so but i wasnt quite sure

im thinking of just going down to GCG and seeing what they can build me instead of going for a jap kit

Ok break it down a bit:

400rwkw= 500kw @ flywheel

500kw = 670hp

670hp = 61 lbs/min peak flow based on 10.85hp/lb

Twin 2530's would be getting to be at the limit of their flow capabilities, 2540's would be able to do it, same with GT-RS turbos. In the highmounts any pair of 2835s could it too. The higher you go, the more undriveable it's going to be.

I just used HKS turbos since they are a well known configuration. You should be able to easily get a similar configuration from a decent turbo outlet. No doubt GCG will be happy to sell you a set of GT35Rs or GT42/45Rs that would see you to your expected output figure :(

Oh and as for single turbos, any GT35, GT42, GT45 would be able to do it, or XTR T66 upwards, Turbonetics T66 and up as well (funny that, they just use the same configuration and model designation as Turbonetics? What was that saying, imitation is a form of flattery?), and a whole host of other singles (Holset, KKK, Apexi's new AX singles etc).

All comes down to if you want lowmounts, highmounts, singles or doubles? Or stock turbos and a big whiff of nitrous :(

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
