Just after some general opinions on how much power the following set up SHOULD make on my R33 GTR.

The set up is:

Currently fitted:

N1 block (with N1 turbos and oil cooler)

3" cat-back

Apexi Pod Filter

Boost controller

Installing:

Front pipe

Power FC

700cc injectors

Fuel Pump

Z32 AFMs

Cam Gears

I'm aiming for 300-350awkw anything more is a bonus.

Ive seen meshmesh and a few others with a similar set up but running 2530s achieve the power figures i want, just wondering how weak a link the N1 turbos will be in achieving the above figure.

Thanks

I would add a couple of things to your list;

1. hi flow cat

2. tuning (for power), tuning (for response), tuning (for reliability)

Plus I wouldn't be running a bare POD, it really needs a heat shield and a big ambient air feed. You may find it a better overall packege with a mild camshaft upgrade, ie; 264 @ 9.5 mm.

Hope that helps :P

Mine's similar to yours (current and installing columns) except mine has: std injectors, std block and group A turbos. clutch is single plate

283rwkw @ 20psi, 260awkw @ 20psi on a different dyno and tuned for response.

N1's i believe are 0.42 comp and 0.48 exh (basically std tarbins) but steel wheeled and maybe different wheel trim?

Group A's are 0.60 comp and 0.64 exh steel wheeled and different wheel trim?

correct me if i'm wrong.

hope that helps.

r34 n1's are .60 and .64

Best I've seen is 280RWKW's using R33 N1's. Power only limited by turbos, not engine capability.

Keep in mind this was measured on a Queensland Dyno Dynamics Dyno, ramp rate of 80, no atmo correction, 4th gear.

Was for a circuit prepped GTR 32, but managed to run 11.6 @ 123 qtr mile.

Are Queensland Kw's bigger than Mexican Kw's? :wassup:

OK I just have to jump in here, I have seen the engine dyno sheets for an RB26 equiped with a pair of Group A turbos that made 471 kw at 1.9 bar. That's with a standard R32 V SPec intercooler as well. The car it went into was red, some bloke called Richards drove it. Oh btw it had 9.3 to 1 compression ratio as well. :cheers:

Just 'cause SOME people can't do it, doesn't mean EVERYONE can't do it. :thankyou:

PS

Everyone knows Perth Kw's are bigger! :confused:

lol Sk. Yeah i remember that red gtr. I also remember it constantly suffering from turbo problems with that 471kw@flywheel tune b4 they were restricted.

Are you sure it had a standard intercooler?

While I only had a quick look at it the GT-R that Lindsay Fox has had a bizarre top entry weirdo intercooler. But the curator at the Fox museum also told me that the car weighed 1,000kg, I was like errr ok guy. Anyway... He should know but I have a lot of trouble believing that the car is 1,000kg

Ooops, that's the air inlet to the turbos, not the outlet from the turbos to the intercooler. :wassup:

I would have thought, based on other guys running N1's with a similar set up, that 280rwKw was about there limit? I have to admit though, they weren't from perth, so I would imagine adding another 100-150kw at the wheels easy peasy :jk:

Also with all standard other parts!!! hehehe

I think we should call it the perth triangle.

I would have thought a person who prides himself on being so knowledgable on the science of tuning would know that KW is a scientific measure of energy that is NOT a relative concept (like e=mc2) but a constant one. When measured using the same measuring tool - in this case a dyno dynamics dynamometer - the results will be congruent if the atmo and other correction figures are correctly entered, which they are here (at least by SST).

If in perth feel free to come let me know, one ride in any car dynoed on SST's dyno will immediately verify thier figures. Out of interest SK what would you predict a fully loaded (non weight reduced) R33 GTR putting out 285 rwkw ON YOUR DYNO would do the quater in given that my R33 ran 11.9 (average run) and registered 285 on SST's ??? I would have guessed about 11.9

OR

If anyone is asserting WA people are fiddling with dyno figures why dont they have the balls to come out and just say that.

Shoot you guys are sensitive, it was a joke :jk:

Let me say it here, you can repeat it all you like, tell everyone! Tell the whole world if you like. I am not a good tuner, there are plenty better than me. Shoot I personally know a 100. I make no claims on my own ability, I am far (very far) from being Australia's #1. I don't own a retail workshop or do any retail work, I have no need to beat my chest or claim anything. I am so slow with the spanners that the guys laugh at me. :wassup:

I go to race meetings all over Australia, 30 or so per year, drag combat, nationals, dyno shootouts etc etc. I have a stopwatch (or 2), I can use them OK and I can tell a fast car from a slow car. The measurement of FAST is distance over time, notice no mention of hp (or kw's) in that equation.

So guys, get that chip off your shoulder, take a joke for what it is. :)

PS; just in case you think I have gone soft, what's with the

"WA" the Australian Import capital
it is my understanding that Qld is well past WA. So that makes you guys #4, but since Canbraaaaaa is the "capital" and far from #1, maybe it's OK.

Oooops I better hoist the :jk: flag just in case.

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
