My mate had -9's stock 34 GTR bottom end, cams, head studs and made 360ish kw at 26psi if I recall

Do head studs and keep boosting till there's nothing left

Don't think you will go over 26psi with such small rear housings

I've seen another 2 that were reported as making 370s one on 98 and the other on e85

Given what was said about the position on the comp map etc, I can't imagine it would make more than 350 or so, but then again you made that on -7s... Tuner did say his dyno tends to read a bit lower than the other locals.

Cams help top end a fair bit.

Seems head studs are a wise investment though. Saves replacing the whole gasket which is a flamin mongrel of a job in a CA, so would be heaps worse in a 26.

If you made 348 on -7s, is it not reasonable to think -9's could make 10-30 or so kw more?

Genuine question, not baiting etc.

I realise different dynos, different days etc.

Stock manifolds, exhaust is Midori dumps then 2x3in into 3.5in the rest of the way, can't remember where the cam gears are set, haltech plug in and full boost is before 4000rpm

Similar to me then. N1 manifolds, HPI 3" dumps into 3.5" front pipe and 3.5" the rest of the way. Same ECU. Full boost seemed laggier to me though. I will do some proper plotting to confirm though.

Yes I realise -9s are bigger/laigger and also that larger ports in the N1s will not assist response.

The extra power is just a nicety and something to keep me happy. The pods is the same, make it noiser and more dramatic/fun to drive. Same as removing the mid muffler, more noise, more fun.

I can get a video when it dries out enough for me to get it out of the shed and drive it.

How power feels from one person to the next is relative, 330rwkw in a 1500+kg car isn't that much. Some of the "drama" is also lost purely because the 34 hooks up so well. I could put cheese cutter tyres on it and do mad skids everywhere and it would be more exciting to drive lol

Haha, I will be for the next tune if I do this.

Even still, I was surprised to find how little, as in almost zero, front drive was being engaged through the hill run. More an indication of how much harder I could have pushed grip wise. It only has ATR Sports on it, but they're 275 so even if they're a cheap tyre, there's plenty of it. Probably on par with a half decent 255 which is all my old one had on it.

Mine start pushing coolant on 20psi e85 350kw or so.

Just do studs and gasket while engines out save doing it twice like me.

why would he be taking the engine out?

Didn't I say head studs a page ago?

we all have

I don't think you have pushed the car hard enough yet to enjoy it. I know in my 32 with 265 z221 hankooks its grips like mad through the hills but if you push hard enough it will still step out. That was with 332kw with -5 dinosaurs.

Owned and driven a few fast cars but the GTR keeps me happy. Don't get me wrong evo's are great but it's not the same driving one.

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
