Hi guys, Looking get a bit more out of my GTR currently tuned at 430RWHP. 
those are the current mods:
2860-5 turbos,
Apexi power FC,
3 inch exhaust with custom dump,
HKS intercooler,
HKS fuel rail,
HKS 680cc injectors,
Tomei fuel pump,
HKS cam gears,
Adjustable FPR,
OS Giken gear box,
OS Giken twin plate clutch
Nismo 1.5 GT PTO rear diff and more..

Ideally would like to do a single turbo conversion and build the motor but not just yet.
Wanting to hit around the the 400-450RWKW on E85 with a new Haltech Elite 2500.
What mods/upgrades will I need? any other suggestions?

Thanks for your time.
Daniel.

I think it's been pretty well covered but...

Number one is going to be completely rethink your fuel system. You've already got -5 turbos, so get an Elite, run E85 and see what you can get. They'll go pretty to close to your goal on E85. Bosch 1550cc injectors and a Walbro 460lph fuel pump (or two) would be minimum requirements in my opinion over what you've got now.

Also suggest redoing the fuel lines too, as the stock 5/16 hardlines are a massive restriction, no matter what anyone tells you. You can do it, but high pressure and more flow through stock lines is not recommended. AN6 or preferably AN8 lines help a lot with keeping fuel pumps running at lower pressures, and therefore lower current draw. Makes pumps last longer and fuel cooler going bigger, and if you do change lines, change supply AND return lines. Changing lines will also probably mean getting a decent fuel reg that has at least AN6 ports on it too, as it looks like you have one of those Sard/HKS/Nismo Jap equivalent regs in there. No good - they have only have very small ports to match 5/16 lines.

Might also need better coilpacks depending on condition, so be prepared just in case yours pack it in at higher boost levels. Obvious choice is the R35 coil.

Just looked that you're still running AFMs too. Piss them off and get a 3 or 4bar MAP sensor to run on the Elite.

Apart from that though - sort fuel system, have good ignition system, have good engine management,  boost it more and report back in with results.

That said if your long engine is standard, I don't know how keen I'd be to chase over 400rwkw...

Yeah agree with the above.

I changed fuel lines run 1 pump and on 98 with -5's got 445kw at the rears (only rear wheel dyno done that day).

I used speed flow lines and fittings through out.  Cost a bomb but future proofed as i plan on going E85 once i go single turbo one day.

Do it once and do it right.  Plus the bay looks so cool with black braid fuel lines.

If I was only aiming for 400kw the following is what I would be doing for now....
Kebabtech2500/Link G4X plug in
Wideband and ethanol sensors
4 inch exhaust
ID 1300 injectors (Leaves plenty of head room for the future)
Walbro 525 fuel pump (upgrade the wiring, relay and bulkhead connectors too)
-8 teflon braid fuel line
Turbosmart Fuel Reg

and see how that goes as a good base to build from. If doesn't perform how you want can throw on a g35, manifold, 50mm gate, upgrade the intercooler to a plazmaman 100mm and enjoy a 450 to 500kw responsive street car.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
