The 5 litre eater

[mattk]

hey,

Been following the site for about 2 years untill i joined about a year ago. By the way is a very helpfull source, well put together. Bought my car in the summer of 2009, and just fixed and maintained it well. I bought my car from silk road auto, in Surrey BC, lol what a nightmare that was, right from the begining. Truck driver was apparently sick the day i was supposed to meet him in Edmonton with no phone call letting me know. Last minute before I left for Edmonton Karim from silk road told me he didnt have time to repair the damaged hood. The interior of car was dirty, And as the driver was driving the car down the ramps he rubbed into the curb twice. The wiring for the accord headlights were wrapped around almost everything under the hood, lol shorting out. And to top it off, he told me the wheel alignment was done, which it was not one bit. Ended up blowing a tire on the way back. But ya, you learn from your mistakes i guess. I've been waiting to go along with this build for some time now. It is a 1992 gts-t type m and has 130,000 km on it. The car came with a 3" exhaust, some cheap rims, fibreglass hood. I replaced the timing belt, water pump, idler pulleys, tensioner spring, spark plugs, fuel filter, and fluids. Going to be pulling the head, cleaning it up, inspecting and installing the cometic gasket kit this weekend. I have a build plan as follows.

-Fuel pump (Walbro 255)
-440cc Deatschwerks injectors
-ARP Headstuds
-Nistune
-GT3071R turbo
-Blitz SE intercooler
-Apexi power intake
-Super Spark coil packs
-38mm wastegate
-Godspeed top mount exhaust manifold
-Z32 MAF and pigtail
-Electronic boost controller
-Wideband and 02 sensor
-Godspeed rad and slim fans
-Boost gauge
-Exhaust temp
-Synapse BOV
-Downpipe
-AMS ajustable fucas
-AMS front and rear rotors and pads
-Spec stage two clutch

I probably forgot a few other things, Ive done my research and have a good knowlegde of cars, mechanically inclined, and understand the basics in forced induction cars. If anyone has suggeestions or helpful input it would be greatly appreciated. Will post pics as build proceeds.

lol 5 liter eater. i had that bumper stick on my first gts-t. a stock gts-t will outrun a 5 liter pretty easily. unless its a new 5 liter, in which case that just wont happen

[Bugsly17]

a GTR eats the new ones

[sarazinj]

an r35 maybe, a stock rb26 wont

Must be something wrong with yours then.

Hey i read on another thread that there might be a problem with the godspeed top mount and a 38mm wastegate, saying that the setup might not be able to discharge your exhaust pressure fast enough to maintain a good safe boost limit. Has anyone else had this similiar problem, and if so please let me know cause im ordering that stuff this week.

[M13]

yeah with a godspeed wastegate, you'll have problems discharging properly. Get a proper brand

I would fit 550cc injectors, new style Synapse BOV (better flange design).

Group-A spec RB20DET in GTS-R does race against a Group-C V8 Ford Falcon in Muscle car Masters -

The Holdens had at least 500-550hp from V8. But when compared to a 640hp R32 GTR, horsepower is always going to win on the straights -

These days the Holden's are alot quicker with 640hp from Corvette style of V8, better chassis, etc. Holden is partly? or fully? owned by GM.

So I should be good still with the godspeed manifold, but say through like a 38mm tail wastegate on it, and of course electronic boost controller. And also was wondering what the best size for the gt3071r is for inlet/outlet. A 3" inlet and a 2" outlet should work fine, shouldn't it. Does any one have any suggestions to the size.

[sarazinj]

when your planning for wastegates, from what i understand is that a bigger gate is better for daily driving boost conditions with the ability to run higher boost, this is due to the larger volume of exhaust gasses it can move making your boost control more accurate, a smaller gate is for higher boost and/or drag applications because there is less need for boost to be on and off repededly

if you dont like my spelling then eph you

Has anyone used the AMS Z32 MASS-AIR SENSOR (22680-30P00),
