It's just a little turbo

[gtrjon]

thanks ^ took me about 11 months but its finally coming to a end! im stoked to see another big single build i forgot to add a ecu! i went pfc djetro. its older technology without some features like launch control, boost by gear, altitude adjustment but its cheaper and tunable!

[GTRADDICT]

haha i could put a very nice list together for you since i just did it about 15k later..
i went with a new r34 crank but not worth it imho i had to have a collar machined onto it anyway to match my pump so just a collar machined onto your crank,
pistons: weisco, je, or cp are the cheapest and best bang for the buck imo and will get you to 700 no problem.
rods: pretty important i orginally cheaped out on eagles but after more research i regretted my decision and upgraded to a set of tomei h beams. although if budget allows it i would go with carillos!
oil pump: simple i went with tomei worth every penny although jun is on the same level
harmonic balancer: should be a necessity in any big power build to keep everything balanced out.
trust sump extension: with a tomei or a jun oil pump it flows oil at a higher rate then stock so the 1.5 litre sump extension can accomidate the high flow.
gasket kits: i went with a tomei top end kit (its only like 40 bucks more then just the hg kit) i also bought a oem nissan gasket kit but not really worth it imo still got almost the whole thing left.
timing kit. i went with a tomei belt but stock is fine.
your turbo kit is already good you can flow a bit of air so no need to worry about that
for the head your going to want some decent cams to spool the big turbo. i went with a set of tomei procams 270 duration 10.8 lift. i
with such a high lift i went with tomei shimless buckets as well. also paired with a set of supertech single valve springs and titanium retainers with supertech valve seals and bronze magnesium guides. the cams were mounted on a set of tomei adj cams gears to get them dialed in.
for fuel your going to need a twin set up if you want to leave it intank. a powerhouse racing fuel hat to fit two bosch 044s would work but they say the stock fuel lines max out around 650whp so i went with a external set up. -10 feed and -6 return all feed by a aeromotive a1000 pump, filter, and fpr. i also went with a tomei 11mm fuel rail and a set of precision 1000cc injectors. however if i had more money at the time i would of gone with a set of id 1000s or even 1600s. dont forget machining costs. i extremely underbudgeted for machining and it bit me in the ass. at the end of the day for a build like this your looking at about 2k just in maching. also keep some money aside for misc id say while my assembling was going together i spent about 1500-2000 in stuff that i never thought of. little stuff comes up and isnt cheap if you want it fast.

basically thats the route i took. its not the best route or the cheapest route to take but i thought it might be helpful to give you a rough idea of how things should go. i hope it helps.

Nice list!

Going to refresh the motor...stroker is outta the option looked into it and not worth it imo...

So in your guys opinion I would like to hear what it takes to get to the 700hp mark. I have the turbo for it now I dont know whats in the bottom end so i'm building it myself. Would like to start making a list of parts so I can have a very nice christmas for myself

[gtrjon]

no! no point in spending close to 10k on a stroker kit. you can make the same power for half the money

[leeaspin]

lol only put down 430 on low boost. Still need money for new injectors rail fpr and a standalone ecu...

Watchout for insane winter build tho.....should I stroke it or no?

[Super_Dude]

How much power did it put down?

[leeaspin]

Its been a while since i've posted. No new updates to the car seeing as how im broke cuz my job sucks right now. But I did attend this years 2011 PACNW supra nationals and that was really fun. Received a couple awards as well for the Off topic categorie (non-supra). Highest hp and best off topic.

[leeaspin]

car is leaking some coolant from unknown area...going to try to find the leak tomorrow. Its coming from somewhere under the plenum so I gotta jack it up to investigate! Hopefully just a pinhole in a hose.

Clutch is working awesome. Get chirps in 4th gear no problem haha

[leeaspin]

The beast is alive...The new clutch is AWESOME! Feels a little bit stiffer than the HKS but I like it its way smoother!

cschepp....On the drivers side kick panel there is one plug in there that controls the auto air bleeder. You need to unplug this unit. And at the back of the transfer case there is a nipple above the hose which is the line from the trunk. Get a piece of hose so that the fluid doesnt fly everywhere. Turn the key to the on position for no longer than 20 seconds at a time. Then crack the bleed nipple and let the air come out. Do this repeadedly until no air comes out. Then hook up the plug and and tighten the nipple. Takes about 10 minutes for the job its quick and easy! Hope this helps

[cschepp]

A little off topic but how do you bleed the attessa? Looks like I will have to do it very soon!

[gtrjon]

good luck man have fun

[leeaspin]

Well the transmission is in and torqued down! Thats the beginning...

I contacted Nissan about that center plate and all the rest of the parts I needed to get my tranny going and it was going to cost me just over $1400 for all the parts. Then I would have had to pay my uncle more money to reassemble it even though he did break the center plate I cant blame him for it I blame nissans casting job. Anyways I put a couple posts up looking for a new trans and a day after I was contacted by a gtrc member and the next night I made the trip down to victoria and bought the trans off of him. $250 compared to $1400 just made my wallet smile!

Anyways yesterday I dropped the tranny in and re hung my exaust. Connected the front driveshaft and the sensors. Today all I have to finish up is bleeding the altessa and finish topping up the trans fluid and change the plugs in my car and then get too see how everything works! Crossing my fingers that this trans is actually what the seller said " perfect running condition"

More updates to come later on...I may be too busy driving it tho

Thats the same hose that was leaking on my car when i was about to start it up.I had to remove the manifold aswell but then took out the motor anyways.

[leeaspin]

It's a small coolant hose I believe it's a bypass hose, in the picture in this thread directly above the post I mentioned it on (page 8 I think ?) if you above the starter and to the left a little you will see it it's about 3" and the hose will cost you $5 to make one at parts source. It comes off of that stainless steel line that come around the back of the head. It's the line that turns into a "Y" and one side with the short hose attaches to a nipple on/under the back of the head..sh1t it's really hard to explain. You can see it clearly in the picture

lol I will make sure to check it out
