Thought I might start a thread on my BNR32 that I purchased about a year ago.

Details:

Black r32 gtr

Came with a forged motor (which didn't last)

Stock everything else

Added some defi gauges to monitor things, then one night going up the freeway dropped down to 2nd and BANG!! Rear turbo blew and managed to putt home making no boost. Put some HKS 2530's on, power fc, 1000cc injectors. Made 313kw on low boost ( actuators needed adjusting) then a month after that the motor let go and lost compression :(

From there the motor let go and decided to do a full rebuild

JE pistons

Stock rods

New rings

Grex oil pump

High octane sump

Tomei poncams

Tomei valve springs

Mines baffles

Brain crower valves

ARP studs throughout

And that's where I'm at now. The motor should be back soon. Front diff is getting rebuilt with new shims, ordered a haltech platinum pro with eflex sensor, and will be getting new wheel bearings and ball joints throughout the front end.

Front support all painted, now to finish off the RHS wheel arch texture coating, clean up the BOV's then replace the rusted clamps.

Paint stripped my cooler and gave it a decent clean but not 100% happy with it so might grab a ARC item :).

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
