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:

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
