Project gone off the line

[christdeyoung]

Whats going on fellow Skyline owners! I guess its about time I post up my ride.
Its a 1991 GTR, mostly stock for now, except for a turbo timer, a 3 inch catback, and Ohlins suspension (OMFG those shocks are amazing, but if you run over a beetle, it feels like a pothole).
This car is to be converted to single turbo (GT4094 perhaps), and I expect around 450-500 to the rear wheels to start off...my goal is well, whatever I can get out of pump gas/meth injection. I'm assuming this will be around the 550 mark, though my original target was 600. Not planning on doing much drag racing with it, and it won't ever see slicks.

Heres a few pictures for now...I just had it repainted. There were a few minor imperfections, but I'm anal, so they had to go.
There actually might be more if you search for Chris Deyoung on facebook...I think everyone can see my car albums.

The collection of parts begins. So far, I got:
AEM EMS
Trust timing belt
ARP headstuds
Aftermarket coilpacks (part of group buy)

Only a scratch on the surface compared to what I'll need, but its off to a good start anyways. Will keep this thread updated as modifications/repairs are made.
Thanks for lookin!

Thought I'd add that the Hatch Civic in the picture between the skyline and the bike, is turbo'd at 14 psi boost, and it makes 320HP to the wheels. Again, pictures/vids are on Fbook.

If you don't ever plan on drag racing and don't want to make more than 600 WHP, look into a smaller turbo than a GT4094R

[christdeyoung]

I wasn't aware that that kind of power was obtainable by anything less. So what are you talking about, GT35...37? I'd like to keep a T4 turbine wheel, in case I'd like a bit more power in the future, however I'm open to input. But I hear ya, It'd be nice to spool 500 revs sooner or more.

[tokes]

GT4088R, Precision is making a GT3588R now (GT35 comp wheel with GT4088 turbine), Borg Warner S362, there's a few other options you have.

PS: What kind of a pistola is that in your sig? I have a Glock 21SF, Sig Pro SP2022 in 9mm, and an XD40.

[christdeyoung]

lol...its my XD9. Its my only firearm at this time, but I plan on getting a few more, including a rifle.... .308 or 30-06 perhaps. I'll be getting into some handloading as well, because its way cheaper to shoot any kind of volume.

And is there really that much difference between a 4088 and a 4094?

[collector240sx]

If you want to keep the t4 flange, why don't you have a look at a
holset Hx40w, it's about the size of a GT4088R, but some say it
spools is similar to a GT35R. Don't take my word for it.

But if I where you, I would at least have a look at this option.
Plus you can sometime get it for an nice price. I actually know of
one for sale for 200$ right now. Might need a seal kit, but they
are like 100$.

you don't need a 4094. I'm running a 4088r and made 480ATW @ 14psi. I had the limiter set to 7k and it was still building power.

full boost at 4900rpm but I haven't touched cam timing. should be able to get it down with more tuning and timing.

[Speeddm]

SD tell the truth. your tuned for 480. you made 522 @ 16 psi when the dyno shut down.

[christdeyoung]

lol

Lookin like a 4088 for me. I'll likely eventually get a set of more aggressive high lift cams to make her spool a bit earlier. Though my turbo civic makes full boost at 5300, and it's still a pretty fun street car (for a honda, lol)
