Hey

Ive got a R32 GTR which is pritty much stock it just has a Trust 3.5inch cat back when it arrived from Japan. Running stock boost also.

I want to give it a bit more power and would like about 250kw at the wheels and the car to be reliable as it is now. I also want to keep the engine bay totally stock looking including the airbox.

What kind of mods and prices would i be looking at to get this figure ?

Would you sugest some N1/Group A turbos or aftermarket HKS ones ?

Thanks!

I have full exhaust (standard dump pipes on turbos) run 1 bar and have power FC which got me 226 kw at all 4 wheels (still have standard airbox, BOV, and intercooler), this should at least be the starting point.

The figure you require is easy to reach with injectors, different turbos and the above and you will also be able to keep engine bay looking stock!

So im guess Power FC, 1 Bar boost, injectors and turbos should get me 250awkw ?

Would N1 turbos eaither off 32/33/34 be fine for 250awkw ?

Would i need to upgrade the fuel pump ?

Exhaust, CAM Gears, 1 bar boost (and maybe a PowerFC if needed) and you'll get 250rwkw easy.

So would a set of these offer much of a performance increase when used with standard cams?

And are they hard to fit / Setup...?

Should do, may need to run more than 1 bar (from what I have heard 1.3 bar gets mentioned a lot).

I'm pretty sure N1 turbos of any series GTR will do the job as they are able to run more boost due to steel turbines, but I think the 34 n1 are the only roller / ball bearing ones.

This should result in anything from 250 to 300kw at all 4 wheels.

so wat sorta rwkw would i be expecting from a RWD rb26 setup in a silvia with twin 3inch dumppipes(twin 2n half with custom screamer pipes if i get around to makeing them) into single 3n half inch, FMIC, stock turbos 12psi, MINES ECU, and fuel pump

i know i'll find out soon enuff when i dyno it.. but is still a lil bit away

Excuse my ignorance :thumbsup:  

But what do they use to restrict boost, and how is it removed...?

I know on R32's where the boost line meet's up to the boost solenoid there is a boost hose there with a yellow stripe on it and if you squeeze along it you will feel a hard bit in there like there is a marble or something stuck in there.

Pop that line off and squeeze it out then pop the line back on, that should bump boost up to around the 1 bar mark give or take a little.

The solenoid is mounted up on the drivers side strut tower.

Hope this helps.

    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
    • Just a reminder orange park was cool back in the day   and drifting the main circuit was even cooler   f**k I miss that car  
    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
