Hey

 I’m new here so I apologise if this is the wrong section upfront.

i am considering new project cars and was thinking about building a V8 R32 GTR and wanted to ask if anyone has done it while retaining ATESSA and what engines?

If I do it I’d want to retain an Nissan engine and I can’t go past the potential of the VK56 based on performance and available parts etc from the US and as I know that the VH45 will fit I was wondering if anyone had or knows of anyone doing or mocking up a 56DE in a 32 GTR? 

The aim of the car would be to a fast a street car as possible which I will use in drag, roll and top speed racing events.

I am aware of the custom fab work needed and am mainly trying to work out first if the engine will fit along with a nice twin turbo setup along the lines of twin 6466 or 6870s.

Thanks in advance!!

i know you are going to say to be different but why? the fastest street, radial gtrs run tired old rb30 blocks. quickest so far is a 7.4.

what level do you think a vk56 needs to be at to be at that level.

Look up Project Unicorn on Mighty Car Mods (or it might have been running on their mcmtv2 channel).  They did VK41 + turbo into Stagea.  So same same basically.  Shows you what you will need to do.

Beyond that. I echo the sentiments above.  The VK56 is not an inherently super dooper strong engine.  The RBs were fairly over-engineered, but the VKs are much later designs where a lot of overdone speccing was cut out.  Then there is 30 years of dev work in even more over-engineered upgrades for RBs that is missing from VKs.  Sure, the bulk torque from a larger engine would be nice to have, but you can have as much power as you need to make it impossible to drive with a 3L anyway.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
