Hi guys so I have a r34 gtt, it's my 4th skyline and want to do things a little different. I want to push around the 400kw mark. Plan was to go e85, have all supporting mods, head work lifters, springs, cams etc. I'm confused on what turbo to get a precision turbo or Garrett gtx or gtw. For cams I was thinking on getting 272 with a 9mm lift? Just some suggestions and ideas would be much appreciated or if anyone else is making this power range what did you use?

 

Cheers [emoji1417]

Why confused?  Use the most modern turbo available.  That would be either a GTW or an EFR.  Lot's of happy EFR campers on here nowadays.

You don't need long duration cams for 400rwkW on E85.  You could do it with stock cams.  So reconsider.  The smart money is on using non-Jap cams.....like Camtech et al.  You should do some searching on here for all the myriad posts on these topics.

So you want 400kw and to have a heap of head work and supporting mods or you just want 400kw?

You can pretty easily easily make almost 400kw with zero headwork (with the possible exception of valve springs) and just basic mods (fuel pump/injectors/FMIC/ECU) using E85

I pushed 431rwkws out of stock cams. Anything bigger then that you can use Tomei Pon cams, car lost 300rpm of response after cam install, managed 490rwkws.

Reason I wanted head work so it's safe 400kw+ and to freshen it up I guess also to have the lumpiness of the cams. Maybe something like a gtw388r or a gtx3582r gen 1 or 2 even a Precision 6062 or 6266?

Had a atr45 journal bearing on my previous skyline made 300kw safe great turbos but want something different for the new car.

Would 2000cc be good?

So the car has stock internals and just bolt ons and made that power? Great figures and looks stock!! Haha

Yes, stock internals, factory cams, just bolton mods, customers car. The neo motors are very solid. The highest figures I've seen using the same turbo stock engine was 421rwkws on 26psi. that engine run fine till rebuilt a year later.

What size are the compressor/ turbine wheels on that turbo?

Sell car, buy someone's finished project (i.e mine) etc etc.

If you want to pay more money than you have to, I'd be saying go get a the new Garrett G25 range and make that work. If the claims are to be believed that's probably the best way forward.

If it 'only' makes 350kw it's going to be a far better car than 400kw on a 2.5 for many, many, many reasons for 99% of street driving.

I have a set of 1400cc delphi stainless steel injectors I got through scotty nm35 on here, which have served me well with no dramas whatsoever over many years. They will more than support the power you are after if the 2000-2200's as above are no good, they are definitely overkill in any case as I had no problems in the past pushing what must have been 460+kw

Would give you a good start! Turbo is like new as has only done a handful of laps since a new fresh rebuild. Responsive and could make 400kw if you really want to ring its neck! Best i saw was 392kw out of one but was responsive and fast!

2000cc or 2200cc injectors are junk, avoid! They're cheap for a reason because suppliers are overstocked on useless CNG injectors.



Ohh okay I thought that size just so I don't max them out, so what size do you reckon I should use? 400kw is the aim but if I get more with what setup I do obv I will be happy even with a 450kw.

Precisions have mostly fallen out of favor recently. They haven't gone backwards or anything but it looks like they never really got adopted. Seem to be pretty popular with the drag crowd. "Too much lag" and "400kw" and "RWD" aren't compatible (imo) with "Stock engine".

GTX3071 if you must go Garrett, but be creative and think G25-660 if you want your wallet to bleed the cost of buying a new setup.

On a 6 cylinder on 98, the rough rule of thumb is that you need 1cc of injector (per cylinder) for each engine HP.  So a 600HP engine is going to use about 600cc injectors.  E85 uses at least 30% more fuel.  So with a little arithmetic you can work out that your injectors need to be in the region of 1000cc.  So if you want some spare capacity, then you're looking for slightly bigger than that.

What is not taken into consideration in the above though, is fuel pressure.  You can get away with a little less injector if your pump can maintain the right pressure at high loads. 1000cc can work properly at the power levels you're talking about.

Tbh I was thinking gtx3582r gen 1 or 2. Heard good things about them and they sound amazing.

For injectors I will get something between 1000cc and 1600cc then? Just so if I do decide to push more power I don't have to change my injectors again and spend more money that's why I was thinking bigger.

    • 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.
