Hi Omran got your PM. In my opinion 500 bhp is past the limit for standard internals, ~450 bhp is a far as I would go. If that is Ok, then this is what we did on our R34 GTT which makes 265 rwkw....

* Power FC with Boost Control Kit & Commander (20 rwkw) $1100

* Split dump with mandrel 3.5" exhaust & hi flow cat (25 rwkw) $900

* GCG ball bearing hi flow RB25DET turbo (20 rwkw) $1600

* Tomei 500 cc injectors (0 rwkw) $900

* Tomei 260 Poncams (15 rwkw) $1400

* Z32 AFM (0 rwkw) $200

* Pipercross panel filter in the standard airbox (5 rwkw)$100

* Upgrade the ambient air feed (on a hot day 20 rwkw) $12

* Standard R33/34 GTR intercooler (20 rwkw) $600

* 63 mm pipework from the turbo to the intercooler (goes with I/C) $150

* 75 mm pipework from the intercooler to the throttle body (goes with I/C) $200

* 85 mm aluminium pipework with silicone pie adaptors from the turbo to the AFM (the standard rubber kept getting sucked closed) $80

* OS Giken twin plate clutch (O rwkw) $1700

* Electric fan (remove the standard fan) (4 rwkw) $100

Total ~$9K plus labour (say 4 days at $60 per hour) and tuning (say $500).

Total ~$11.5K (Australian dollars of course)

You will notice it does not have a thick head gasket, I personally don't believe in them at all and at that power level are not necessary anyway. You will also notice no adj cmashaft pulleys. The Tomei cams have so far proved to be prefectly timed standard, so don't waste your money. Being a hi flow of your standard turbo, all the water, oil and air pipework will fit back up as per standard.

Hope that helps, if you really want 500 bhp then let me know as you need quite a different spec plus a bit of internal work. :D

JiMiH: man you wouldnt want to live here, its too hot these days and the heat kills turbo engines......Skylines included.

OMRAN: nice ride you have there, i think i saw it for sale a while ago for 100k DHS, looks great .

anyway i dont care what turbo you are trying to use, but make sure that the engine is well cooled before you start anything, trust me those big turbos get HOT.

I've heard of people busting RB26's only because of the heat issue.

too bad about that RHD law though, i was hoping that i'd get something RHD soon, but it seems like my dreams have evaporated. is this applicable for all the emirates? even UAQ. man i'd really like to get something good outta japan. Any idea why the law's been calcelled?

sorry too many questions. in the meantime enjoy your ride.

Sydneykid ...

thanx alot for replyin ...

that was really helpfull ...

mm i was thinking of 500 hp .. but if it really need some internal changes ... i dont think i will go for that ...

450 .. << not bad at all ...

have u seen the HPI project car .. they did 294rwkw dot know what mod. have been done .. i only saw the big turbo ..mainfold .. wastgate .. thats all what i'v seen ..

any way ..

about the turbo ... * GCG ball bearing hi flow RB25DET turbo (20 rwkw) $1600

where do i get those from .. ?? only AUS ... right .. ??

..

are they good .. i mean as i said befor .. daily use car ... would that turbo take it ...

and all other mods .. would it be ok .... dont need alot of problems ..

and thanx again mate .. that was really great ...

now i have a shopping list ...

i'll get all the stuff .. then i'll start working on the car .. :)

more help would be good .. thanxx .. again

thanxx man ... nice to see some one from uae .. :) ..

mm ..yeah it was on the net .. while ago ... . but i'v taken it much much less then that ..

engine is well cooled ... thanx god the car is in a very good condetion .. 65c thermostat will be fit soon ...

about the RHD ... 100% sure ... all the emirates .. UAQ .. was registering ... ( shaikh saif bin zayed personaly forced them to stop ) ..

and one more thing ... 3 days ago .. they told me that no more skyline RHD nor LHD will ever registered in UAE ... ( not sure yet ) .. that would be really bad ... but some how good ... coz most new drivers (kids) buy skylines (cheap ..mostly r32) .. and make alot of troubles ..

i'll make sure about that ...and i'll let u know ..

You could go to One of the workshops in Dubai and the could custom build a maifold for your car, they will also fit the intercooler and the fuel system for your car, I have tried them they are ok, they did my Nissan Patrol Turbo and intercooler ,they fit it with a Greddy 78 turbo and i was running 2 bar 800 rwd hp, I guess you will know me Omran Since i mentioned my car, fellows from austrailia

(its a NissanPatrol 2003 4x4 4.8l vtec) Fully Modified Stroker Engine One of many 4x4's that are custom made in the UAE. :flamed:

Do you have any more info/pics/vids of this Patrol?? Sounds like a beast :)

Forgot to say this but the only turbo that seems to be popular around here is the Trust T-88 (they call it greddy here...how pitiful)

reason is most cars that come already modified (japan or thailand) have this turbo. and its cheap (for the power) and not very difficult to repair . i dont think its a very good turbo given the spool up time necessary. i think a single 3037s will suit your application, but then again i could be wrong.

remember if you take care of your turbo it will last a long time, regardless of what everyone say. (unless you get that t51z<<

i dont like thick gasket too .... but if more power needed with more boost .. i think its a must ...

any way ... i'd like to have some info about the 500hp ..

what other spec's do i need ... for the 500 thing

thanx for the help bro ...

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
