Good morning everyone.

I am about to embark on a build to make 450awkw. The car is a 1990 gtr.

The mod List so far:

Power fc D-Jetro

800cc Sard Injectors

Trust Drag intercooler

Custom intake piping

Custom Exhaust

A/M Turbos (Searching by the serial number they came up as a "Le-Mans" turbo 330-350hp each)

twin plate clutch

Hicas Gone

350awhp

The car developed a leak in the headgascket. it was still drivable but due to various family reasons, it has been garaged for about 4 years. I am now in the position to give it a lease on life and if after the build it sparks a fire under my ass, I will keep building it. if it doesn't then it should be very easy to sell once finished.

the plan:

2.8L stroker (want to keep the 86.5mm bore for strength reasons and leaning towards the Spool kit.)

270ish by 10.5ish cams on both sides

low mount roller bearinbg turbos

cure for the oil issues via a bigger sump

and if the gear box goes, an os 5 speed rebuild.

The question:

With so many strokers out there, is it really worth while spending the money on a top of the range kit or will a $5-$6k kit be ok for my power needs?

will my 800cc injectors be up to the task?

will low mount turbos (want to stay low mount for police reasons) able to deliver the flow needed for 450awkw?

I tried to search some reviews or comparisons on stroker kits and it seems that in general there really isnt a bad one. As with any build, I dont really want to spend the money on a kit that is rated for 1500hp if I dont need to.

Thank you in advance for all and any advice

Why such long duration cams? no real benefit.

A GTX3582 in twin scroll, twin gates will be a good choice with fantastic response on a stroker.

It seems that around that duration I will get even better mid range torque and response. As for the torbos, I was really hoping to have something that bolts on to std manifolds Edited by khezz

You mean you'll get more lag and shift the mid range higher up the RPM..

Longer duration cams are not the answer to getting better response or making better mid range.. Yes you will make more torque yes you'll make more power but not where you want it.. and that's nice and early.

Something we can agree on, Unigroup Engineering do a 260x10.85mm custom cams, I have just fitted a pair of these and they are a good peice of gear

GTX2863Rs cores can be fitted to your Nismo turbos, are a good match for a 2.8 and will easy make north of 450rwkw with the right supporting mods providing they are the .60 front covers

800cc injector may cover you on 98 but not on E85 and with the SS injectors available I would and did go that way, ID1300s

I am happy to stay with 98ron fuel. E85 is still not that readily available in Perth. So for cams stay 10.5 lift or more but keep duration under 270. Got it.

Is there an I tank pump that will give me enough flow? Has a Bosch in tank now but I know it won't cut it.

Wow. Thanks for all the info.

What about my choice of stroker kit? Spool ok?

Walbro 450L F9000267 by TI Automotive will do it.. just need to wire it up to at least a 30amp relay and at 25amp fuse on some decent wiring.

get 260 degree cams (there abouts) like the other boys....

yes big duration cams go brap brap brap brap at the lights.. but when you get flogged by a Golf GTI it's embarrassing .

You will get reversion through the exhaust with the overlap too...

I would rather go for a pair of new turbos. In my limited experience old turbos are just that, old turbos. What ever happened to the t517z and t618z turbos?

New turbos (from Full-Race Geoff):

- when a tall RB30 block is used, I suggest twin EFR6758 (or twin EFR7163 depending on fuel and boost target). The twin EFR setups are not for everyone - there is more piping/lines/two turbos ... twin EFRs fit better than a large single in these cars - and for a responsive 750hp there is nothing that can touch this. We make the downpipes and charge pipe so this is a bolton affair to replace the existing -5s

they're junk, pieces of shit.. even a single one on a SR20 (which I mainly play with) are horse shit.. make crap all power and lag.

the best, read all you twin fan boys:

https://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/differences_between_turbos

Quote (also the best): "In most cases, for top performance, a single turbo is preferable because larger turbos are generally more efficient than smaller turbos. However, often there is not room for one large single, or the tuner wants the visual impact of twin turbos."

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
