Hi guys I have a R32 GTS-T, i am trying to find out what to do next my mods are as follows:

pod

wolf 3D

GT30 ballbearing 650hp

hks fmic

fuel reg

3" exhuast

injectors i think about 500cc not sure

45mm waste gate

h/D clutch excedy

Currently the car is running 16psi and i am yet to do the fuel pump which is getting done soon at the moment i have 210rwkw just wondering after fuel pump what sort of internal work i need to do enable me to turn the boost up and start getting some good figures i want to keep everything that i have. Do i need to open the engine up and say some forged piston and rods? Not sure what needs to be done i have heard that you can just put the RB25 bottom half of the engine to replace the RB20 is that right, and help would be great and what sort of prices am i looking at Thanks

Forget about cracking open the engine if your making 210rwkws. Forged pistons, rods etc wont mean you make more power...

If you want more power id be having a look at why a 650HP turbo is struggling to make 300rwhp. If you serisouly want to make anything near what a 650hp turbo is capable of delivering, then id be starting to look at a bigger RB engine.

But id say you dont need to replace anything to make more power, by the sounds of what you have the thing should be able to happily make 250rwkws at sensible boost levels and std engine internals, something isnt quite right if your making 210rwkws

ok well maybe he ment it might make 650 if i high flowed it not sure not really fused i cant use that much anyway with the standard 2L all my mods didn't cost me anything as he got done by the EPA and had to get rid of it all and get standard gear. He had no money and i hit the jack pot getting his turbo, dump pipe,45mm waste gate, fuel reg, catch can, bigger injectors all i had to add was the wolf 3D and give him all my standard gear i jumped from 108rwkw to 210rwkw with only paying $1900 for parts not bad ha

Greetings All.

Could i be possible the turbo is sick? Shaft play? Damaged compressor/turbine??

Also, Arnt GT-30 Turbos rated at around 550HP...?? (Non ball baring core night not help??)

What are the turbo specs?

Cheers,

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
