Power on pump gas???

[MeatSedation]

I'm in the market for a BNR32 and was just wondering what kind of power can be expected out of the RB26's strictly on pump gas? What kind of equipment did you guys need to get there? What were your experiences pushing your car to those limits?

I'm just kind of playing around with certain ways I can build an RB26 motor right now, as I understand there are a number of routes I can take.

My goals are 500 whp solid. Is it doable?

I apologize if this has already been covered, I tried searching, however nothing too relevant came up.

I know a guy in town that is pushing 475awhp on stock internals. Just kinda pushing it hard kuz it's cheap to fix if blows and it's 94 octane daily driven.... And if you want to build a rb26 completely you will be way ahead of the game. Theirs sooooo many on here who are pushing those kinds of numbers. Just depends how much money you have and how reliable you want it and what kinda driving will it be for.....

Good luck none the less!

500whp has been done on 98 octane pump gas many times over and done with stock R34GTR engine (N1 and stock) on dyno only. But not sure about pump gas in northern hemisphere, as it's rated differently (RON vs MON???).

For power, response and be reliable -

Tomei sump baffle plate
Tomei oilrestrictor
Tomei oilpump
Tomei Type B Poncams
Tomei (or modified factory) adjustable camgears
Tomei or Naprec bronze valve guides
HKS 2530 turbo's (or Garrett equivalent) with HKS adjustable internal wastegates.
Tomei exhaust manifolds
ECU with IAT, MAP sensors (Link G4 ECU, ViPEC ECU, etc)
Sard 800cc injectors (Roughly 1cc = 1hp)
Sard dual entry fuel rail
Sard FPR
Dual Bosch, SX, etc fuelpumps + surge tank, lift pump (to surge tank), teflon lined fuel hoses (to prevent fuel smell inside cabin, etc)+ fittings
Fuelpump hardwire kit
Tomei metal headgasket
Tomei intake, exhaust gaskets
Tomei forged pistons (cooling channels).
Crack tested, shot penned stock I beam conrods
ARP conrod bolts
Nismo bearings
Good stock or N1 block
Nismo twin plate clutch, Nismo slave cylinder
Mines exhaust from turbo's
Stock airbox with Apexi panel filter
HKS EVC 6 boost controller (recommended when running higher boost levels that single solenoids struggle with).

"76" gas station at the aldergrove border crossing supposedly has 100 octane and it still works out cheaper

Skym:

we use PON here (Mon+Ron/2) because the Ron # can be a little misleading. Our Ron in our 94 is 98 but our Mon is 90 whereas your Mon is actually 87 making your pon only a little less than 92. It's not too bad but no nearly as forgiving as our 94. I can run up to 1.1 bar of boost on 32 deg of ignition timing on our 94 before the knock sensors start to tingle.

That's about 650fwhp on pump, but with a really huge turbo that doesn't heat the air up at all. That alone is why I can pull that off.

I've been to that one a long time ago, if its the same one it has 100 pon octane (108 for you Skym) and really works well. Rumor is its VP 100 unleaded which would be about the equivalent to your Elf Turbomax in Aus.

With kind of price list its gonna take me 4 years to build just the motor

Building a reliable 500HP motor ain't cheap, lol. Although, reliable and high horsepower don't go together.

Thank you Dragon Humper.

Rushin, GTR = nicknamed money pit. Cheaper to buy a modified GTR and refresh engine, gearbox, diffheads, etc.

Or buy a Tomei Genesis crate engine (similar to what I mentioned above with Phase 1 specs) -

I think I forgot Nissan repair gasket kit (has valve seals, cam seals, crank seal, camcover gaskets, etc). Also that's not including cooling mods like engine oilcooler, N1 waterpump, Tabata radiator (can fit stock shroud) with low temp thermostat, header tank and new welsh / water plugs, machining cost's, NGK sparkplugs, Tomei type A valve springs, ARP head studs, etc.

Hm, big single, never considered that route. I didn't know it would would reduce charge air temps by that much... What if I ran twins with some less restrictive piping, big IC, catless exhaust etc. (from what I hear 95's and older can run without cats in MB) Might allow for bigger twins operating in a more effecient range..?

If time was an obstacle I would probably consider it, looks like a nice motor!

Just depends how much money you have and how reliable you want it and what kinda driving will it be for.....

The whole reason I wanted to do a pump gas build was to be able to do another crows nest pass tour. Just this time in a car that can tear ass when I need it to. Long & short, I'm ready for expensive and reliable.

What about water/meth? A good way to bring charge air temps down I'm thinking...
