Hi All

I'm upgrading the turbos on my GTR, and I have a friend that wants to put them on a 5.0 V8. I'm wanting to get peoples thoughts (flow rates).

He revs the v8 to 5000rpm max, wants low to mid range power, so says he wants the boost from ~1200 - 4200rpm. He intends to only run stock GTR boost (6 - 8psi) no I/C.

His reason for thinking about the GTR turbos is that I have them and it will not cost him anything (he can reverse the factory manifolds and front mount the turbos, he has someone that can knock up a dump to the existing exh, make adapter flanges, pipes to / from the turbos etc, etc...). His parents own a ford dealership, so can do all the work after hours (tuning etc).

Sounds a bit crazy I know (I told him that he should be using bigger turbos), but he is wanting to do it just for a bit of fun.

Any thoughts?

666Dan is probably right.

But if you want truck loads of low down punch, they would be ideal.

But maybe...... Let's do a little bit of rough maths.

2.6 ltr x 9000rpm = 23,400

5.0 ltr x 5000 rpm = 25,000

They might be alright.....

What you would need to do is open the wastegate hole heaps so that extra exhaust gas can escape easily....

Nothing quite like the sound of a twin turboed V8!!

BASS OUT

Yeah, I will post the results once it is all done. As he is not after something to win dyno comps, he's pretty keen to try them out.

I think it will be pretty interesting on the burnout pad! He want's good 0 - 100km response, so this might work...

I think it will be about 1 month away, but will try to get a dyno graph to accompany the results : )

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
