Why not slap a 3.4 in? 

hahaha , I am done , just wanted to see what this work will do.

I know it's also not your preference on how to build these cars and I totally understand why.

Look at it through my eyes, I am 76, I don't want a Fn 35 and can afford to do this work. I really like the R34GTR and it will be my last car in my life, it's the first time I have ever done anything like this and the car is getting better with each modification, well "MY" better :/

 Through the hills I rarely go much under 3000rpm except on tight 35kph corners uphill and 3rd takes care of that and don't carpet it coming out of the corner , it wants to kill you , Mick has no idea what I do in my car , I drive with no one else with me  :)

Honestly , why wouldn't anyone not want to have a skyline that takes off from idle and gets going within another 1500rpm and then is mad up until you want to change gear , it's limited to 8,400rpm.  There was still more to go with the turbo speed with the last tune, I think he stopped at 21,000 rpm and I think the 8374 is recommended to run up to 27,000 rpm and I believe the 8374 gets pushed even faster by some blokes :/ , so I am about 20% ish under the recommended top turbo rpm speed , more to go.

Shit if I want to go to a 1000HP , bolt a 9180/1.45 and off you go , might leave the Getrag on the ground , LOL

So lets see what happens , I know I will LOVE it and stuffed if I know why it upsets some people ??????????????

I don't know about everyone else, but My car spends a crap load of time below the full boost threshold, as I don't think i'd have my licence or car for long if i was driving around at full boost everywhere. While i certainly think that there's an element of chasing the impossible here, the higher compression ratio is going to give a noticeable improvement to every day driving of the car.

In terms of not running E85, every car/engine/tune combo is going to be different however my 9.5:1 stroker motor has no issue with 20PSI on 98 and that's with 260 cams so nothing silly, so its not all doom and gloom. Obviously if you did something like 12:1 you'd have problems on 98 but I think even on E85 you'd be running into chamber design issues there anyway

I cannot imagine driving the car the way it was , well except to sell it :)

I think everyone thinks I want a V8 response , NO! I want the best from what I have and this work is the end of it, love it.

With some early power you also do not attract the wrong attention by not revving higher in town , mine is pretty quiet, but ? 

I doubt he will take it over 10:1 and from what was said I will be OK if I don't go mad

Sell crd 3.2 boom motor and profit? 

Thats a bit harsh , it's not the same motor anymore , their work has been sorted, LOL

Motors down and seems everything is in good shape to go ahead with the work.

Work sorted!?? Lol That bottom end would have coped lots of abuse for years.

Not years of abuse , they just pulled the motor down and everything is still in good condition and they can do the work ASAP

Save you some reading time and getting to the main problem I had

When the 3.2 stroker was  built the head studs were upgraded to ½”  and the head stud
holes were drilled ~5mm deeper than standard causing a number of them to pass into the coolant jackets around
them.

A total F up and they wouldn't take responsibility for causing it , I had taken it back 3 times and they did nothing but bullshit to me. So I went elsewhere to have it sorted.

Problem found, problem fixed , so easy now ,LOL

That’s great they found the issues and is getting sorted now.

sorry for inaccurate comment , I thought at least bottom end was good 

Anyway good luck with it ?

No worries , that problem was fixed 3 years ago , time flies ,  LOL

I am just having some head work done ATM

21,000 or 121,000 rpm ?

Getrag would not be very happy with that idea ?

Turbo speed 121, 000 ?typo I did edit it and 128,000 and 5% , but ?

how have you been ?

  • 4 weeks later...

Both cams going to 272 / 10.5 , could go to 11.0

Going  9.5:1 CR , they are going to use a thicker gasket , in case higher CR is ever wanted

Pistons coming from the US in a week or 2 and the head is out  being ported

Hopefully get it back this year , LOL

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
