300rwhp (225rwkw)... what does it take?


Recommended Posts

Guest Nismo_Freak

My target is 300rwhp w/o swapping the stock turbo. This would be 300rwhp in American terms if that means anything, I have yet to figure out if there is a difference. What would I need to do this without swapping the turbo and how reliable would it be. I will have a large aluminum radiator for sure since my stock 240SX one would explode.

I think 225rwkw would be very easy to achieve, to begin with.

My '95 R33 GTS-T

192rwkw @ 12psi

168rwkw @ 8psi

Mods:

Cat back exhaust

HKS Pod Filter

FMIC

2 Stage boost controller

I was only using 96 octane and havent had a tune or oil change in 7,500km either.

Ok heres what I have planned:

RB25DET

Hybrid FMIC w/ Custom Piping

Apexi GT-Spec Exhaust (3.75")

Custom 3.5" Downpipe to Exhaust (No Cat)

Apexi Intake w/ Homemade Cold Air Box

Greddy Profec B Boost Controller

Walbro 255Lph Fuel Pump

HKS SSQV BOV

Single Disc 6-puck Clutch

Cusco LSD (1.5 or 2 way)

Apexi Turbo Timer

Greddy Boost Gauge

Redline 75w140 Gear Oil in Tranny

Amsoil 10w30 in Motor (too thin?)

Boost im prolly gonna set at 12 psi unless the turbo can handle 14psi and be reliable for a while.

Edit* - Replaced S-AFC w/ POWER FC

sounds very good nismo freak which engine is it the seies 1 engine or series 2 engine ?

series 1 engine you can run 14 psi series 2 I would stick to 12 psi

ben I'm not doubting that was the figure you made but some dyno's are very optimistic thats ~~~

drdrifts old car only made 170 rwkw but ran a 108 mph at the drags which says closer to 200 rwkw if you get what I'm, saying some read high some read low its hard to campare apples with apples

So far I have the following mods

3" custom dump and front, high flow cat, 3" N1 style cat back

Hybrid FMIC with 3" pipwork

Pod with cold air partition

Power FC with Boost controller

Turbosmart BOV

9 button clutch

plus (irrelevant to this thread) various suspension, TT, boost guage, etc

On a dyno dynamics dyno, made 260rwhp at 0.85 bar (254 at 0.7 bar) when the clutch started slipping and the power curve flat lined. Of further concern was that the AFM maxed out at 4500rpm and the curve 'fell over'. I am sure with the clutch now fixed and a Z32 afm on its way, that I will be able to get a little more, however from what I have read of other peoples experience, and my tuner's advice, a stock R33 turbo would not be able to support 300rwhp (about 408bhp it think). As for your fuel pump, not too sure you would need to replace it as my injectors were running at 77%, perhaps you could get away with just a fuel pressure regulator instead? Also of a bit of concern at the moment is traction. I am running 255/40/17 goodyear revspecs and although they are one of the better gripping tyres, power oversteer (which is alot of fun) and straight line traction off the mark are starting to become issues.

Some food for thought anyways

EDIT: Just notice you are talking dynojet type dyno? I believe that the figure I quoted above would probably make it past the 300rwhp if it was done on a dynojet - from the comments I have read in other threads about the differences between dynodynamics and dynojet.

My mods,

R33 gtst

3" turbo back exhaust.

No cat

custom FMIC

Brass button clutch

higher boost on standard turbo.

HKS airpod.

On a dyno dymatics with 11psi my car did 197rwkw

On a dynodymatics at a skyline meet with 13psi my car did 180rwkw.

This should show the inconsistancy of the dynos.

I think that 180rwkw is the correct figure (and meggala can vowge for that).

Ok .... thanks for the info. I need to get a brandname on the clutch. What would hold alot of power and not slip while being cheap and streetable? Also I forgot to include I would run a Z32 MAF. I have also been looking into a pulley kit for the RB since on the VG30DETT UR Pulleys dynoed another 30hp @ the wheels (Dynojet).

You dont get nothin for nothin Nismo_freak :(

300rwhp your gonna need a 5puck bruss button clutch minimum or twin plate if u are gonna drag race fairly often.....

I have just under 300hp and cooked my 2500lb clutch last night at the drags on 2nd run of 2nd outing (clutch is 3 months old)

I agree with Macka, getting the 300rwhp isn't that difficult, but having reliability aswell is not so easy. At 260+hp you may well have to look at a heavy duty or twin-plate clutch, weak points in the engine such as pistons may start to show themselves.

But to get the 300rwhp is going to require you running the turbo at stressful levels. Even though the turbo can just support those levels it is not going to last particularly long at 1bar.

Just some things to keep in mind.

See'ya:burnout:

Sorry ill butt in if Megs cant get online for awhile...

GODF4Th3R Series 2 came out with a Plastic impeller turbo wheel which spools faster but in turn can break away under higher boost!

Croat Your going to be paying $1500-$1800 for a good quality Highflow which is now starting to prove a very good move for alot of owners...no oil or water line changes, no dump pipe or compressor inlet or outlet changes which saves alot of $$ which people sometimes dont consider..

Hope i didnt butt in!

Cheers

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
