It's time for me to build my little beasty.

Looking to hit 400rwkw, ideally 450 on pump 98. E85 is out of the question due to availability.

Just want to get an idea on the setups that people are running who's achieved that mark.

At the moment I've got the following laying around:

Garrett GT3540

High mount manifold

1000cc injectors

Aria standard replacement forged pistons and conrods

HKS 3" SilentPower exhaust

Blitz return flow intercooler

Nismo lightweight flywheel

Contemplating:

Haltech ECU

Forward Facing Plenum (don't really want to cut holes into my chassis)

Single Piece tail shaft

exhaust too small, unless you go external & screamer :)

you'll need WMI with that turbo, I doubt you'll get anywhere near 400kW on 98

FMIC would be a restriction too, IAT will also shoot through the roof

I agree with Johnny. Less so with Damo, although he does have a point about a bigger turbo being wise. It's going to be a lag monster anyway, so why not enjoy the lag.

External WG is almost essential. Look at the difference between the same turbo with and without external gate in the Hypergear thread (you might have to go back a few pages).

Then you're into the realms of making sure that you do head bolts, probably make sure the rod bolts are healthy, get the right bearing clearances, make sure the oil supply system is up to scratch, make sure the blowby catching system is well done, restrictors, etc etc.

If it were me, aiming for ~400rwkW, I would ignore that fact that people frequently get up there without porting, and make sure that the head was well developed. It makes it possible to make so much more power or use less boost, and that might be the difference between unworkably high exhaust manifold pressures and temperatures or not, assuming you stick with the GT35.

Forgot to mention, external waste gate is on the list. Contemplating on changing the exhaust to a 4" and plumbing the gate back into the exhaust for simply for emissions and defect purposes.

The Blitz FMIC does seem a little small and would most definitely bottleneck the flow. Perhaps I'll just go FFP.

I would go 4" inch exhaust and plumb back the external if you're trying to go for the semi legal route.

Also none of the off the shelf intercooler kits will cut it. I would be going for at least a 100mm China intercooler or if money permits a 100mm Plazmaman Pro Series intercooler which are assembled in house at their factory. Your IAT will shoot through the roof with those off the shelf kits.

If E85 is out of the question, go for WMI. To get 400kW on A small turbo, especially on A 2.5L with 98 would be very hard to achieve.

Did some quick research on WMI and happy to go that way.

Do you know if its OK to run the car equipped with WMI but on a empty WMI tank? Don't really know how to word it but say for example the WMI runs out, 98 will be 100% going through the injectors.

Planning to use the car as a high performance weekender for long trips and things like that, where most likely methanol isn't readily available. Don't want to run around finding methanol.

Buy the HTA3076 that is for sale somewhere on here, run 350rwkw with plenty of response and enjoy the car.... It will fry street tyres no matter what....

Dont make the mistake of getting caught up in a target HP range, dont sacrifice spool for wank factor figures either.... I dont regret making the choice and its been a proven performer!

400-450kw isnt much use on the street in a RWD 34....

Easily controlled by a decent ECU, if WMI runs out lower boost & drop timing.. when WMI is available increase boost & increase timing.

Another work around is have your WMI cut off connected to your boost controller's valve OR power, so when there's no WMI available just run gate pressure and with your ECU's timing map only have strong timing at high boost areas when WMI is activated and sedate timing in low boost areas when there's no WMI.

I still reckon a flex tune is the way to go, I'm running E85 with a flex tune. It's great drove to the track with E85, raced it, drove home on E40.

Less shit to fail than WMI.

Even Nistune supports flex now, and it does it quite well.

I run aquamist wmi. Awsome system with good fail safes built in, if one triggers it changes boost and timing map in my ecu.

I have a 7litre tank for the wm mix and it lasts several tanks of fuel before it even gets close to empty. So no need to worry unless u plan a road trip around australia

Thinking of the AEM WMI kit.

Though will have a chat to either Powertune or JEM about if its worth going down that way and fail safe options.

Other than that, I gather:

Fat FMIC

Fat Turbo

Fat Exhaust

Fat ECU

Fat Fuel system

Guess I'll put together my setup and see what I get and go from thereon.

If this is my own car and Assume that you have't bought any parts yet.

Get 8.5:1 CP pistons and cosmetic MLS head gasket, that allows you to run extra bit of boost and timing working with pump fuel.

Steam pipe high mount manifold with a big 50mm external gate

1000cc ID injectors

Walbro 470L/H pump (remember to rewire)

3540 turbo is laggy turbo a RB25det, But working with P98 fuel, it must have a large exhaust end. I will be recommending our VNT SS Alpha - 4, Which probably get you there with 25psi full boost by 4100RPM

No return flow intercoolers, it will get you no where and add extra lag from unnecessary length pipping. Use PWR or a Plazamaman cooler kit, or JJR's cheap cooler piping with a 600x300x100mm cooler will do.

I would be using Adaptronic or Haltech plug in ecu.

8.5:1 forged pistons - Check

MLS Head Gasket - Check

50mm External Gate

Walbro 470L/H pump

100mm FMIC

FFP

Steam Pipe Top Mount

Haltech ECU

VNT SS Alpha - 4

So this setup will roughly meet my target? Do you have a link on your website to the turbo or what is it equivalent to?

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
