What power could it push?

[Zeeable]

Im currently in the process of purchasing my first skyline and was wondering what type of power it could push? 

And if i wanted to push more, where should i go from here?

Thanks 😁

(P.s. its an auto, doing manual conversion)

Does the current owner have a dyno graph? It is a bit of an old school setup but probably around 400 rwkw.

Where is the 100m wood installed?

I don't think there is any mention of what model of skyline it is or what engine is in it?

Nismo 740cc injectors seem to indicate the side feed ones, which would point towards an RB25.

Looks like somebody's been playing some stupid top down farming/camping/town building strategy game. Le sigh. Shoulda spent more time in school.

Hey sorry, probably shouldve put more info 🤣 ill double check if he has a dyno sheet but not confident he does.

Its an r33 gtst, 25det. 86,000kms. It runs @ 9psi atm, so would 388rhp be realistic for that type of boost? (New to turbo cars in general)

Im currently looking at MV's valve body and a 19row oil cooler as hes blown 2 gearboxes already (family member so not worried about it too much).

Getting it super cheap so keen to start working on it. Possibly turning down the boost just to save it for longer until manual conversion.

And yes he plays the war, farming games 🤣🤣

it's a big turbo, so it's maybe just possible. But it seems unlikely without a bit more boost.

[Duncan]

100% agree...owner might have turned down the boost to 9psi but got the 388 figure on a higher level eg 18psi

Okey good to know, i didnt want that much power on the stock box as im dailying it until i buy a sh***er to replace it 🤣 thanks guys

[GTSBoy]

Stock box will handle that much power anyway.

[Zeeable]

Really? Is that with oil cooler etc? Or just the plain old box

Let's be clear. It's a road car. You can't stay on the power for more than about 10s at a time anyway, and even if you flog it through the hills you're only on the power < half the time. You don't need to worry about cooling the box too much, and it is mechanically strong enough to handle that much torque.

If you cane it silly, then yes, it will suffer. But if you drive it around normally, and launch it from the lights some of the time, you're not doing anything outrageous to it. If it breaks, it will be because it's 30 years old.

Looks like the food was 36m?

Yeah stock 30 year old RE4 with a 3788 even at 9psi doesn't sound ideal

[Zeeable]

It has been rebuilt, not sure if that helps anything or not. Im still waiting to find out if it just got rebuilt to stock or stronger components etc.
