Hey guys. First let me say, this is NOT another post about "how do I get 700WHP?" I much of the major requirements, however I have been receiving conflicting information regarding a few things and wanted to get a clear answer. Thx. After reading Twinsnails upgrade post on here it has gotten me into gear to start on my own project. I have a GTR33 and I am shooting for a 700WHP Street Machine. I know most of the stuff that will be necessary for this however I do have a few questions, including some VERY important ones. I was hoping that you guys could look over my current upgrade path and make suggestions regarding if it is correct or needs changes. I was also hoping you guys could answer the few questions that I do have about it. Thanks a lot for the help guys.
Questions:
1. Turbos - I need twin turbos capable of producing 700WHP however that are made for the street. The reason I am asking is because most of the turbos that people post about are designed for track use. While I will be doing some track use with my GTR33, most of my driving will be done on the street. Hence, I need a street setup. Of course I realize that any turbo setup capable of that much power will have some lag, however I am hoping to minimize that amount. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
2. Manifold - I know in most circumstances it is necessary to upgrade the manifold to a top mount setup due to space restrictions with the stock manifold. Is there a ready made one that can handle what I need or will it be necessary to have one custom fabricated?
3. Exhaust Piping - Simple question. I have heard conflicting things and want to get a definite answer. Will a 3" exhaust suffice for my goals, or is a 3.5" or 4" necessary. The reason I am hoping to stay with a 3" or 3.5" is to keep the noise level as streetable as possible and I know how loud 4" piping is.
4. Stock Fuel Rail - From what I hear the stock FPR is good up to about 550WHP. So obviously I realize that it will be necessary to upgrade that, however what about the stock fuel rail? Is it necessary to upgrade the fuel rail?
Now to the setup which I have planned:
Engine:
XXXX Twin Turbos (?)
Upgraded Manifold (?)
X" Turbo Back Exhaust w/ External Dump (?)
Upgraded Race FMIC
ARC Induction Box
Custom Fabricated Intake Piping
NGK Spark Plugs and Wires
HKS SSQV BOX
HKS 272 Intake/Exhaust Cams
Alky Injection Kit
N1 Water Pump
N1 Oil Pump
Upgraded Oil Sending Unit
Fuel System:
Upgraded Fuel Rail (?)
Upgraded AFPR (probably Nismo)
Nismo Fuel Pump
SS Lines
800CC Injections (? Big enough)
Electronics:
Apexi Power FC w/ Hand Controller
Bee-R Launch Limiter
Torque Split Converter (cant remember the brand)
Dual SBC Boost Controller
AEM Wideband
Drivetrain:
ATS/Carbonetics Twin Disk Clutch
Nismo Slave Cylinder
Upgraded Shift Fork and Bearing
Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft
Cooling:
Koyo Radiator
Nismo Thermostat
Greddy Oil Cooler WO/ Relocate (dont think relocate makes sense)
Interior:
SPA Techniques Dual Gauges
4 Point Racing Harness
Nismo Gauge Cluster
Car PC
Well that is the setup path which I am currently planning on running. However I go out and buy all of this stuff I want to make sure that it will be adequate and necessary in order to achieve the power goal of 700WHP that I have for an almost daily driven street machine. Any and all help and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
