GTR 'Powerup' Q's


Recommended Posts

Ok my GTR will be here next month, and I will want to increase the performance somewhat.

Basically i'm looking for 120+mph Terminals whilst retaining good driveability.

My plans at this stage are purely bolt on:

Deal with any other issues if & when they arrise;)

1. HKS2530 or similar low mount turbos, although the GT25/30 seems a lot cheaper...?

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/prod15.htm

Or can the standard turbos be rebuilt using larger 'steel' wheels with a HiFlow as I've had good results in the past with this?

2. SARD 700cc Injectors

Will these run with Standard ECU?

3. Power FC

Car already has full 3" exhaust and Pod filters, and GTR cooler should suffice.

Will this get me 450+rwHP and 120+mph terminals..?

Any other suggestions? or good places to buy parts?

Cheers

Lindsay

450hp you will be pushing it with that set up, i own a R32 GTR its got HKS2530's,HKS Cams, Sard 700cc injectors, upgraded fuel punp, Trust drag intercooler, Twin 3inch system from turbo's, Link engine management and AVC-R on 20psi i pump out 330kw's

I want top mount twin turbo's for it then the power figure will really rise, the 2530's are limiting the power output but they boost up quickly and smoothly so its a fairly streetable car at the moment

I have seen a write up on the GT2530 turbo's and they say they are pretty much the same as the HKS turbo's apart from the price...

No these will not run with standard ECU. Power FC is really the best option to take regarding the tuning a of a GT-R.

450hp at the wheels is possible with the the GT2530/ HKS 2530's but you will need to run some pretty big boost to get it. An easier to get this power output is to get some nice cams for the RB26 i.e. 276deg.

This will make your car have excellent top end without the need of running big boost i.e. 20psi (over).

Thx Guys.

It mentions what 'looks like' HKS 272 on the auction sheet!..?

Hopefully it does have the cams fitted :)

The GT25/30's seem a fair price from HPinabox, these are looking like a good option atm.

I do not want to turn it into a 'narrow high powerbanded' drag car, more of a flexible 'MC motorsport' club racer style thing.

So no one would reccomend the rebuilding of the standard turbos or knows anyone that has done this...?

One more quick Q! :P

What is the Biggest Injectors anyone has run using the standard ECU?

Or is anything other than the standard injectors out of the question.

carefull with these turbos as they are not true bolt ons the compressor out and turbine out put are different to the gtr turbos and will require custom piping and bump pipes

550's with safc

Thx Simon.

Not really worth it then, as 550cc injectors are no cheaper than 700cc units and the SAFC is only about $500 cheaper than the Power FC......may as well spend the extra :(

carefull with these turbos

You mean the GT25/30's..?

I am actually leaning towards GT-SS atm....closely followed by 2530s...Hmmm...decisions decisions :)

your right on the money

here a combo i will make 450rwhp(walk in the park) if tuned well

APEXI pfc (avcr is a good boost controller aswell)

320hp garret turbos or HKS 2530 (stay away from the horse power in a box set)

700cc sard injectors

Tomei poncams 260deg 9.15mm lift (or close to)

Tomei adjustable cam wheels (take the time to adjust them)

afms 20/25rb or z32

turbo back exhaust (twin 3" dumps into 3.5" single good place to start)

custom piping to the new from turbos to 80mm afms(3')

this combo is good for a great deal more than what you want but it will give great drivability and future development.

my car running 530rwhp

rich madsons r33 on good fuel have seen run 550rwhp+

and these cars on std internals have been going hard for sometime now with out a single problem.

hope it helps

pete :cheers:

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
