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 :(

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
