Increasing Power - R32 GTR


BNR
 Share

Recommended Posts

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!

If it has the stock boost restrictor still in place just remove it and that should give you around 1 bar boost roughly

Excuse my ignorance :D

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

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 ?

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

I run 260rwkw with above (but no powerFC) std turbo/inj

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

Yeah adjustable cam gears and a good tuner helps RB26's heaps from stock.

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.

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
