The Road to 200rwKw (R32)


Recommended Posts

G'day, I am interested to get the groups opinion on the best strategy for getting 200 rear wheel kilowatts out of an R32.

I use the car as a daily driver, so a nice fat torque range is highly desireable. Ideally i would like to see the power generated with the smallest amout of boost possible, focussing on keeping everything flowing as freely and cooly as possible rather than just getting a massive turbo and running like 20psi through a shitty small intercooler. A massive front mount intercooler is going to be my first step after the usual exhaust and intake mods.

Also, what sort of performance would 200rwKw provide? What sort of 1/4 mile and 0-100 times would be expected?

Cheers!

Start with a big front mount, and a full 3'' exhaust and a bigger fuel pump. if you are concerned about reliability i would get a HKS 2530 turbo or similar will easily produce that power at low boost whereas VG30 will need more boost and be unreliable.

People have different opinions on the injectors some saying that they will get 220rwkw with only more pressure but im doubtful, you will probably need something bigger. Then you will just need a remap of the computer.

If you up the car properly i would be possible to run mid-low 13's but many people have trouble with traction.

-Bigger Fuel Pump

-Large FMIC

-Aftermarket Turbo/Highflowed VG30 or RB25 Turb

-High Impedance Bigger Injectors

-Filter and Enclosure

-ECU Tuned

-AVC-R and up the boost or just use a bleed valve to run a little more boost... say 14 to 16psi

-Full exhaust

-Aftermarket AFM

Should do the trick...

may want to also upgrade the brakes....

I'd suggest a GT2530/GT2540 and a decent front mount cooler. You'll also need a big fuel pump and a fuel regulator as you'll be pushing those injectors. Bit of dyno tuning and you should see up to 220rwkw.

That will be the most friendly sort of setup, you could even play with the plenum and adapt a forward facing throttle body to remove the crossover pipe. Don't mess with a turbo any smaller, if you wanted something bigger (turbo), you'll notice it is alot less suited to what you want.

Performance depends alot on your ability as a driver to put it down, and your rear end setup; tyres suspension and so forth. You'd be looking to run low 13s with that sort of power, perhaps even sneak into the 12s.

Do what i did... Simple

T3/4

550cc HKS injectors

Bosch 700HP fuel pump

7/16" fuel lines

Nissan Patrol fuel filter

Pod air filter

Nizmo 300zx AFM

S-AFC

Mines ECU

Twin plate clutch w/nizmo preasure plate

Mines cams

Head work to the value of $2500

Tomei valve train

Tomei valve springs

700x360x77mm FMIC

Custom plenium

R32 GTR throttle body

HKS adj Cam gears

Upgraded brakes (cause u need to stop)

Thats about it... but you need a good 12-15 grand, I dont remember how much i have spent... But im gonna run a high 12 second quarter hopefully... My 0-100 is a high 4 seconds... I have cranked out 247rwkw's on the dyno the other day... But twisted the clutch... So im now getting the twin plate done ATM....

I want to hit the 300rwkw mark... I have all the parts in my garage for the next step... I bought a Tomei 2.4litre stroker kit and have all the bits ready... I have bought a spare NICS red block and am starting to build it up from there... So then ill be getting a large Trust or HKS turbo to feed this new monster and will be devestating all at next years jamboree.... (Fingers Crossed)

fark! is this on you r31? u should see 300+rwkw with all that stuff on.

I went to Asian auto spare and stole a throttle body off an RB26dett that allready had a custom plenium (stole = found it before u did and i payed for it)... Its not a standard part... Sorry i should have explained it better....

And yes its in the R31...

And yes we expect some big power once we sort of the ECU... As we have had lots of trouble with the Mines ECU... Cause Chip Torque cant work on the other mods i have done... So we are thinking about either a Wolf 3D (min), a standard ECU chiped to the max (probably what we will do, mixed with some Apexi help in the way of a S-AFC) or Microtec (if i win the lotto soon)....

But yes i should look at well and truelly over the 300rwkw's mark... However i am running the car at 12psi max now as i want to achieve the power on minimal boost and dont want a time bomb motor... Understand???

It all depends on what you want to do.

I personally would go for a small turbo that could run a lot of boost (say 1.2 bar) and develop full boost at less than 4000rpm. Most of my driving is on the open road and on the twisties, a big laggy turbo IS A PAIN IN THE ARSE!

Injectors? Er.. I've been meaning to try fitting RB25DET injectors to an RB20DET .. but cant do much until someone lends me a set of them with the fuel rail. Im sure it will actually fit. Has anyone else tried this? 6x370cc's with a bit more fuel pressure and a good fuel pump should do the trick. I think GTR ones are a little on the big side.

SOme form of aftermarket ECU would be a good idea too.

Provided everythin is tuned right, high boost shouldnt be too much of a problem.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
