I have just rebuilt my R32 GTR as follows

forged/balanced shot peened (solid) bottom end

N1 Turbos

N1 bearings

R34 crank

port and polish head

HKS dump pipes and 80mm exhaust (no cat)

1.2mm TOMEI head gasket

N1 Water

N1 Oil

Std cooler and AFM

Mines ECU

What sort of rwkw should I expect @ ~18psi (should be fine with the N1's yes?)

What mods should I look at next and in what order

FMIC + hard piping kit

PCF

Z32s

044 Fuel Pump + injectors

the mines ECU is holding your potential back, its strange you put engines fuel supply last. It does not matter how tough you build an engine, poor fuel delivery and tuning can quickly have you back to square one. eg. a well tuned stocker can outlast and sometimes outperform a poorly tuned built engine.Paul...DIRTgarage.

No, A powerFC should be next.

 

If you want to stretch the stock injectors a little you should also get an adjustable fuel pressure reg. The stock injectors 'I THINK' with a bit of fuel pressure max out just under 300rwkw.

280-300rwkw sounds about right to me (if you run the math)

do i NEED a hand controller with the PFC - or can I use a laptop

Sorry guys - quick correction  

It's not mines - it's Blitz. It's still got to go tho

any input on rwkw for the inital setup ? (I'm hoping for ~250rwkw @ 18psi)

we made 284rwkw on a stocker with cat back 3" exhaust, power fc running base map and AVC-R boost controller.

Everycar is different, and so are the dyno's there are run on ... in saying that you should be well over 250rwkw as you can get that with stock turbo's

was running std turbos @ ~15psi - no dump pipes - and was getting 210rwkw

pots 1 and 4 were almost total shot tho

can't wait to get the car back (and wait 5000klms for it to run in)

we tweaked the injector correction values to achieve the A/F ratios,running 1 bar boost with stockies.

and adj cam gear is worth a good 20rwkw on a GTR

noticed 5000km was mentioned as a run in period is this seen as the mark for boost increases to higher levels?... I have an engine in exactly the same spec as itbilms (trust cooler and factory ECU) and it has currently done 1200km and had the 1000km oil change....

motul 8100....

I am running 13.5psi max with most running being done on the 9 psi low boost setting.....

I have not taken it to the dyno as yet, as I have had the car for all of 3 days!

just a few questions for those more in the know than I.....

what is deemed a safe boost?

Apexi FC seems to be the way to go, are bigger injectors needed? and will they bring a gain for the $$$ or are they just going to give a high potential later with other things done....

oil cooler? when is it deemed a must do?

any worthy advice is certainly wanted ;) you can never know too much about these cars!

I've stuck with mineral oil (Motul 4000 10w30) until 10,000km's.

Its probably a little overkill as I only really needed to stay with mineral oil until 5,000km's.

I figure its best to be safe than sorry and have a motor that has a bit more blowby than it should have.

Up to 10,000km's is what they yank's usually do and is what is recommended for a lot of new cars before changing to synthetic. Thats the main reason for my decision.

My motor, run 16psi since it was bedded in on the dyno using mobil1 synthetic right from the start.

Nothing wrong yet, down'd 5000km's so far

MAjor car manufacturers use synthetic right from the get-go, so am i

Z32s

044 Fuel Pump + injectors

first power fc and hand controller

second afms (rb20/25 are good to 540rwhp and much cheaper)

third 700cc injectors (i dont know about pump as i'm making 525rwhp on std unit)

also when you do afms upgrade all your inlet piping to turbos

and with these mods with good exhaust you should easily make mid 400rwhp

only my opinion hope it helps ;)

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
