Could do close to 400kW but those valve springs are very soft and you'll end up with valve lift.

Has happened to 2x SRs I've tuned with big boost. Torque/power falls on its face when you add boost and the motor hesitates as though it's misfiring. New springs in, problem gone.

400kw at the wheels? should it be safe 300rwkw?

depends on the turbo, a 180SX I did a while back had a GTX3071 with 0.83 rear on a 6Boost TS manifold merged into a single 45mm did 351kW at 27psi. That's with super lazy timing as well. I think it would have made more, but I didn't want to push it any further as it is a track car.

So do if i got a gtx3071r .63  would it spool quickly and put out about 300kw (i dont know much about turbos at all im a noob sorry) its going to be a street/ track drift car. is there any other turbo you would suggest for my setup?

Hypergear stuff would be fantastic just they don't have any twin scroll options.

Once you go twin scroll you don't go back lol.

However if your budget is somewhat flexible I would consider an EFR7163 in TS with the internal gate. Would be a good match for a SR20.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
