After doing much reading on this as well as the other forums in Australia i have come to the conclusion that 450WHP is obtainable on the stock RB25det without much risk or problem with proper bolt ons and excellent tuning. my question is with my suspension proplerly tuned"HKS coilovers" for drag. and wide 5Zigen fno1rc rims i am still not sure the widest i can run without having to roll my fenders but i am thinking 9 inches wide. what type of 1/4 mile times could i possible see with a good launch???? any input would be helpful as i have my r32 GTR but i still like the looks of the r33 better but i want the eventual 10sec 1/4 mile out of the R33 and i am thinking it can be possible.

i have a Greddy intake manifold, and a HKS exhaust manifold 50mm external wastegate with a gt30r turbo. a set of 550cc injectors front mount, tomei cams Power FC greddy boost controller greddy turbo timer" just for the looks" thats what i have accumulated at the moment i am adding a aluminum flywheel and 6 puck clutch and a underdrive crank pulley as soon as funds allow. with this similar setup the guys locally are making big HP on there 240's with rb25 conversions. does this setup sound like it would be on the mark??? i hope so as i have sunk a ton of research and so much money i have had to lie to the wife on the prices just to make everything smooth.

iv heard that 350rwkw is achievable with only bolt parts and still retaining stock internals and intake manifold.a good high mount (manifold,external gate etc), bigger injecters/fuel pump,aftermarket cams, computer ( with the right tune ),metal head gasket to drop the compresion ratio and the usuall beefing up of the drive train. but iv seen no dyno figures or expected 1/4 mile times

anyone can make 350rwkw on stock internals with an RB25, thats the easiest part ever. Hell ive seen a 26 with stock internals pump 500rwkw...

But getting them to last more than those few dyno runs is where the "stock" motor poses its grave problems.

260-270rwkw is the upper limit as commonly discussed here if search.

As for the GT30 making 450rwhp (335rwkw), doubt it unless your using race fuel

boost, are you in america? if so that would explain the 450hp aim, as over here it equates to a LOT less

yes i am in florida in the US and there is not much support over here as most of our knowledge on these cars actually comes from you guys. and yes we are addicted to big HP motors but as i see it 450 is not alot as i have friends in the military still in japan and there seeing stock rb20det putting 400whp all the time, so i can not imagine a rb35 not being able to do this as the tuners they run into in japan says that we underestimate the rb motors. i on the other hand only have your forums to save me from blowing my motor or fixing my dilemas as they arrive. although i have taken the 2.4 ka24de engines that were stock in the nissan 240sx here to 400 and over and they were not turbo charged from the factory and are a pain to get tuned in. so i haft to believe the all mighty rb series engines can handle it.

oh forgot the gas issue we have 93 octane and can generally get 19-20 pounds on most motors before we run out of octane, this is the general rule of thumb. according to precision turbo i can generate 450 at 20 pounds on the gt30r. this i can not verify as i have only used the t series turbos before and this is my first GT series turbos.

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
