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...?

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:

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
