Been there, done that !

A bit of tetra ethyl lead, av gas with a flick of nitro methane swizzled around with a drop of pure methanol with put hairs on your chest.

And what did you put in your car?

Lol.

Guys, 1000hp engines may last a season on track. 50 laps is 150km. A year of track days at once a month (more than most) is 1800km.

Sorry but if your 1000hp engine lasts 1800 hard km.. it's still an unreliable piece of crap. And I think someone getting 12 full track days out of a 1000 hp setup, with 50 hot laps per session is beyond what it would reasonably last.

If you're measuring your engine life in hours, then.. yeah.

WIth the GEN 2 GTX2867R  Twin setup (below link) rated at 1000hp Is it difficult to get this kind of HP?  And around 550KW - 600KW+

Far as turbos go, with a .64 rear and .60 front that is very possible, you can even up size them to GTX3071R. I found factory exhaust setup is very restrictive, so if you can run two short 3 inches pipes hanging out side of the car along with all other supporting mods you should be able to get there.

There are a lot of things I could say to this glorious demo of building a strawman argument, but the most obvious would be - what exactly are you doing in this thread if the sheer mention of 1000hp clearly triggers your fear response?

I don't think it's a straw man argument at all..

The OP clearly posted it with a view to keep it stock looking as they intend to use it as a road car, so "Stock looking" is "Stock looking, Mr Policeman observing my road car"

As many have said, there are 0 instances of this actually being done.
As many have also said, 1000hp RB26's at all, have a limited lifespan on a racetrack, measured in hours in terms of reliability, and they don't look stock.

So to answer the original question, how difficult is it to have a 1000hp, reliable, stock looking setup on the street? I'd say extremely.

You and I both know that a 1000hp setup, cruising around town is only using 50kw or something like that at 100km, cruising around. So it could last 400,000km in such a scenario.

But that isn't what people really care about when they talk about reliability. They care about how many seconds or hours of full throttle time. While 1000hp in 2020 is different to 1000hp in 1995, I still would say it's limited to drags or highway pulls and even then have limited reliability.

WTAC GTR's don't have 1000hp. They certainly don't have 1000hp, and 300,000km of daily driving, and do a track day once a month for multiple years. If you asked the owners to do that, they would definitely insinuate that something would break before then.

Motive DVD ran there stock RB 26 to what 800hp for years of thrashing.  I know not full race pace everyday.

Now will find out how there new engine lasts at 1000hp with all the fruit (still stock crank tho).

Obviously not "stock" looking.

I got told when my engine was built that 10 years (100,000km) has been seen on these engines with normal/drag and some circuit mixed in.  Seems reasonable for 600+hp.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
