Hi guys,

I've got an r32 gtr with the above turbo setup, i've searched the forum for other peoples experience & cannot find the answer i am looking for...

Are there any 'other' gtr owners out there with this setup? I am after an approx. awkw rating.

I have read 3 other posts specific to this turbo but it seems that nobody has really given these turbines a genuine run due to their lack in bottom end boost.

Im sure the top end delivery would most definitely suffice :D

Thanks,

Marko.

p.s. where did my post disappear to???

"Bel Performance v's Croydon Racing Development - which 1?"

it was so informative :P everyone had something to say.

message Mik He's got the same setup as you but in a 33 . I thaught your car had already been tuned by CRD as you said in one of your posts that you were going with them?. My guess with your setup would have to be something close to 400awkw on CRD's dyno but I wouldn't get to involved in dyno numbers get it out to wsid and test it on a real dyno :D.

My car was scheduled for a tune last week but im sure you all know how these modifications pan out - odd hurdle, hick up here & there.

It will be dyno tuned later this week, just awaiting the arrival of my 3.5 inch exhaust which is due tomorrow.

Brett - I have spoken to 'Mik' before about this but I know that he has undergone a road tune, I'm very interested to see what they will produce on a dyno.

Is there anyone that has hands on experience with power delivery?

Regards,

Marko.

Miks car has been on dyno log dyno which is very very low reading compared to something like a dyno dynamics .From memory I think at the end it was something around the 280awkw mark but I believe they later learned after puting another car on that dyno on the same day it was actually reading lower then usual the result should have been something along the lines of the 310-320awkw mark but I'll the man himself step in and correct me .

After seeing the peak power dyno results from a couple of CRD GTR's and there times out at wsid I'd say his car would be pretty damn close to 400awkw on a dyno dynamics.

this dyno sheet you have, is this rwhp or awhp?

rwhp

note also the terb shuffle during boost build-up. I have since gone to a bridged HKS manifold that should reduce this effect markedly. I will also be expecting 550 or better rwhp with more boost and timing.

My car was road tuned and had the tope end "touched up" on a dyno log as Brett pointed out.

The max power we saw was 292 awkw. This was at a fairly rich 11.6:1 AFR and pretty sane boost.

Two weeks later, a certain WRX made 230kw on this dyno and then made 290kw on a dyno dynamics the next day.

I guess that gives me about 360awkw on a dyno dynamics which alogns well with my 124-125mph trap speed in a heavy BCNR33 Series 3.

Gav, mine makes about the same power as yours.

i have twin hks 2835's 52t

on the dyno we ran 1.3bar but took it back to 1.2bar because im still running cast pistons and the injectors are maxing out. the next step is going to cost a fair wack :) unless someone is selling a rb26 with fogies etc

it would also depend on how heavy your right foot is...anything will blow in the wrong hands, in the right hands it will last.

jim @ crd mentioned that up to 22psi is safe & that quite a few guys also run 25psi, usually if they want to run a 1/4 mile.

anymore than 25psi would be really pushing it i think

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
