Hi guys,

Im investing in an R32 GTR very soon.

Im just wondering if you guys can give me an estimate what power the following mods could give me:

R32 GTR

- 2 larger turbos (like HKS GT2530 or garret gt2530) not a real huge upgrade, maybe even just hi-flow the stock ones

- Larger intercooler

- Upgraded clutch

- Full exhaust

- Intake mods + CAI

- Boost controller (not set at a crazy boost though)

- Maybe larger injectors if really needed

- suspension and brake upgrades as necessary

- aftermarket engine management (power fc?)

All this with a stock head gasket, bottom end etc.

G'day Barks,

Based on a good friend of mine doing the same level of work to his '97 33 GT-R, I'd say a real world ~550+hp if set-up & tuned correctly. HKS 2530's will make more though!

To make the most of a package like you've listed (& using the 2530's) I'd add cams to your list.

Edit - You might want to add a f/pump & reg' upgrade too.

Yeah mate.

The list Ethan_R33 has posted above (including the HKS2530's) has the potential to make ~550+hp (410kw) @ the flywheel.

Or ~300+kw @ the wheels.

Cams will certainly help the 2530's, & Z32 AFM's would be a good idea too!

The stock bottom end & HG will be fine as long as the tuning is set-up correctly.

Gday.

Im making a Real World 280 kw @ the wheels similar mods to those Suggested.... the HKS GT25/30s are a perfect street turbo, I love mine! :D

Mine also has HKS Step 1 Cams and HKS 1.2mm Headgasket.

Andrew, how's it going? How have you been?

Gezzz, that's one hell of a car your looking at.

If you end up getting it and I'm over your way, I might have to con you into taking me for a drive...

I love that feeling of my eyes getting sucked into the back of my head :);)

HJB can you provide some specs on your car, im running a HKS single t45s with a 76 comp wheel out of a t51 SPL and i have 310kw at all 4 at 17psi, what sort of boost you runnin, also when does your turbo ramp up, or kick in ??? Are you internals stock, im hoping to see 500 rwhp soon-bout 360rwkw on stock internals i think it can do it, any comments or suggestions??

There still is a question over what has been done with the motor, plenty of HKS gear, basically all the mods listed above plus more, however the cat seems to restrict the power a little, so a new one is on the cards, also at only 18psi. The turbo starts to create boost at about 3000rpm, and on full song soon after, at this point you just hang on for the ride! :eek1:

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
