First of all. Thanks to everyone in this forum helping me out with my wierd questions back and forth.

So before i install everything on my GTR and send it away for a tune i will sum up the parts that ive now bought/on its way and let me know if there is anything else you would recommend me doing that could be important.

Engine:

Garrett GT28-5 x 2

JE-pistons 8.2:1

Eagle H-Beam rods

ACL race main and rod bearings

Oil pump collar installed

Fuel:
Bosch 980cc injectors

Walbro 535/E85 pump (no check valve) I guess i can buy a check valve and connect it to the pump?
 

Other:
AEM X-Serie lambda

New Air tempsensor
Older verision of LINK G4 ECU

(upcoming: Gonna remove old fuel hoses for new ones, change oil pressure sensor, attach oil accumulator, )

I guess a new clutch is what i need aswell. Advices? Been running Competition clutch before on other car. But would rather spend less money on this one.

 

Something else in these cars that i need to upgrade when im gonna run -5s? (Low power as possible with -5s)

You want fuel pressure sensor on that list.

Oil cooler?

Head refresh?

Replace every coolant hose.

 

 

 

 

The coolant hose/vacuum hose line item is easily north of 500 USD these days if you really do replace every last hose and pipe that has questionable integrity.

But who in there right mind would use genuine ? Good silicone hoses are cheaper and last a lot longer than the factory rubbish.

Who in their right mind would buy journal bearing turbos just because they had HKS logos on them?

Muricannnnnnsssssssss

bUt iTs hKs gOdZhiLllAAhh door stoppers that somehow look very similar to eBay turbos.

I have a oil cooler, could install that one.

Fuel pressure sensor, good one. Forgot aobut that!

Head refresh? The engine block/head has been in for service. So the head should be fine!

Want my R33 GTR intercooler turbo to plenum hoses / piping ? It's like brand new but I'm still going to throw it in the bin 😊

Im located in europe, guess you are located a bit far away :(

Thanks!!

Well, idk if that matters after all these parts i had to buy to get that car running. Would probably be better to sell -5s ( with a bit loss ) and go smaller turbos and less power hihi

Depends on how you want to do it, you could either keep a running tally of the things you need to replace as you dig through it or just replace everything wholesale. I ended up doing the latter when I pulled apart my intake manifold and oil cooler/oil filter housing down to the hose clamps which were all replaced with factory constant tension spring clamps. I spent probably 100 USD alone on those stupid spring clamps.

Is there any fitting for the fuel pressure sensor on the fuel rail? Or do i have to make another solution for that?

There is no factory provision for a fuel pressure sensor, you could put one after the fuel filter but before the rail though. That is a common spot for flex fuel sensors. I'm pretty sure that's the point that you're supposed to use when following factory service manual procedures for testing fuel pressure anyways.

Yeah nah. Flex fuel sensor should be put in the low pressure return line. No need to punish it with several bar of static P.

P sensor in the rail feed line is sensible. But the obvious answer here is to buy an adapter to put an aftermarket pressure reg on the tail of the fuel rail and use the gauge port on the reg to mount teh P sensor.

Either way that strut tower is an easy place to put it, both feed and return run under the plenum.

Hmm okey.  But what's your reason to use pressure sensor? I've only used a pressure gauge on the line/with aftermarket regulator on my other cars before. Are your reason to use a sensor to be able to connect it to the ecu, or to be able to have a gauge in the flightdeck/cockpit?

I guess i could get an "T" adapter with a 1/8" fitting for pressure sensor placement. And connect the fuel hose on the other two ends and place it between fuel filter and rail?


If i go for a regulator instead, i could just remove the "oem" regulator and put the new regulator on the strut tower on the feed line between filter and rail. I guess i could just use the gauge on that regulator? Wouldnt need the sensor for pressure reading then?

I would run a fuel pressure sensor if I’m already doing the work to set up a flex fuel sensor because it provides a clearer signal of fuel pump failure.

And more importantly, you wire it to the ecu and use it for protection and logging.

It's 2023. Mechanical fuel pressure gauges are basically obsolete.

Right, that was what I was trying to say but didn't quite make explicit. RBs are expensive to blow up for dumb reasons.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
