Hi guys, I'm new to SAU-read a lot of your posts though & very helpful. I'm currently waiting to import Black R34 gtt in Auto(yes I can drive manual though prefer Auto slightly more) & I'm wondering if you guys know the maximum potential of an auto r34? Planning on modding it with all usual suspects eg 3" cat, intercooler, new ecu + e85 & upgrade transmission etc. what could I expect -max hp wise??? Thanks in advance

The potential of a stock box? Not much more than stock power (with a tune)

Potential of a box with $3,000 spent on it? A lot more than stock power.

Don't chase 300rwkw+ with a factory auto, you're gonna have a VERY bad time,

Thanks guys. I sold my N/A r34 because I'm now ready to chase high HP. I have a performance guy/garage that I'm close with in Northern Melbourne & yes I will be going bigger turbo, maybe Garret. Just need to decide on tuner. Just need to confirm R31Nioid, if I upgrade "slush box" (auto haha) then I can chase 600-700 hp at flywheel? Thanks guys

Yes

Greg managed 400kw from his 34, but it is a built 2.8 with a built auto.

I would be looking to keep it around 300kw, for auto longevity, but it will need a valve body upgrade and large trans cooler at a minimum.

I have few grand to star Gtstboy but doing tax soon & expecting descent return as industry I'm in (not porn industry but am considering it) ha. Also Scotty- is Gregg's an rb26 stroked to 2.8? And sorry(I'm no expert) but what is a valve body upgrade?

I don't think there much money in the porn industry for a male , unless your planning on man on man..

It wil be fine..its a R34 auto...even if it makes 400rwkw, half the pulls it will only show 300ish..lol, then 250, then 350, then whatever the f**k it wants..lol

Nahhh Darren, no man on man here mate!!! Sorry to disappoint haha. Anyways, so Darren do autos pull all over the shop in kws? Ps. I will have more than 2 grand for modding, just over a few months or so. I really don't want to go manual-but if huge difference in kW capabilities then maybe think about it. Or try rb25/30 on auto with built box

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
