Im buying a R32 GTR, Engine rebuilt w/oversize pistons, Garrett T28 turbos. HKS adjustable coilovers. Sparco 17X10 rims w/245 tyres. N1 Exhaust. HKS filters. Cross drilled rotors, CDplayer, GReddy Boost Gauge. NISMO 260km Dash. TurboTimer. Includes compliance & RWC.

How will the engine work with those pistons and is it a good upgrade?, How powerfull will my car be in rwkw & 1/4,mile ?

If your really that keen to know, it might change the sound of the engine when its up on high rev's to compared to a stock GTR.

We have an RB25 with forged o/size pistons and aftermarket rods that sounds like the R34 GTR from 2 fast 2 furious. doesnt have that smooth purr of the stock RB25 anymore, this is with standard cams aswel.

;)

Jun

it sounds like the pistons were not machined corectly causing piston slap. my 33gtr has JUN oversized pistons and it sounds completely stock!

What could be giving the different sound ?

Different manifolds

pistons (Arias)

Rods ?

Using stock crank!

Yeh sounds identical to the GTR from 2 Fast 2 Furious. - Listen to that and the to a stock GTST.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Pistons slap isn't good! You'll have to get your block re-sleved, to fit the pistons properly or get a new bottom end. But thats new ring lands, head gasket, seals etc. Pain in the assss!!

Just hope its not that and only somthing minor ;)

:)

Im ready to buy the car, im happy because its all rebuilt. How will my car go on 1/4 mile with all those parts that i listed on my 1st post. My friend says he will kill my car on 400m in his GTS-T on top speed with his mods(600hp turb0,...). and my cousins 180sx killed him on start, because his skyline is too laggy, his 180sx did best 13.9 on calder with cooler, full exhast system and 12psi. so they mixed my brain with their car talk. :bonk: . or they are jealous????

A R32 GTR with T28 turbo's can do 11's.. well as long as everything else is there to support them. Clutch and a FPR. Really need more fuel too. One of our previous GTR's runs constant high 11's with a near stock motor on T28's.

No way a GTS-T or 180sx would come close without a lot of mods..

what size pistons ? are they nissan ? you can get nissan +.5 mm oversize or +1mm but there are aftermarket pistons bigger still , it depends on what they used and how good the work was done .

if you have 87 mm pistons ( +1 mm oversize ) like i have in my car and they are the same compression as stock then you will find the compression will be a little higher than stock ( as long as they used a stock headgasket ) .

i have 87 mm arias pistons in mine that increases the engine capacity from 2568 cc to 2627 cc .

the extra 59 cc + slightly higher compression gives you a bit more power that is noticeable at low rpm ( no boost ) .

i dont know what turbos you have , what boost , computer , tune and a lot of other things must be considered .

i have the garrett n1 turbos in mine , power f/c , 1.2 bar boost ( ebc) and stock cooler , stock injectors ( on the limit ) , stock airbox , stock airflow meters ( on the limit ) .

the car has run 11.7 @ 121 mph 1.8 60 ft but the track was very slippery so i couldnt get a good 60 ft , have a look at my time slip on the registery .

i have an r33 so its a little heavier as well , that may give you an indication of what this car could run if the work is and tune are done well .

i have seen cars with more mods than mine like 2530's , 550 injectors , z32 airflow meters , camgears and he could only do 12.1 @111 mph with 1.7 60 ft .

as i said before it does come down to tune as well , as far as driver , track ... yea but the trap speed should indicate what the car is capable .

with trap speed of 121 mph , i should have a lower et than 11.7 but traction was the poblem as the slow 60 ft indicates .

yes wrxhoon, but we can't compare every car and it's mods as it comes down to so much. Tune/Driver etc.

I have seen a car with 2530's running low 10's on the stock bottom end.. just like I have seen cars with N1 turbo's and a PowerFC running mid 13's. :D

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
