Stock Engine GTR with bigger turbos- How much power and is it safe?

Alex:; I am 73 years old and a Ph.D in Applied Physics, EE and Control Engineering[ Robotic/Motion Control Algorithms] but also real gearhead, focusing primarily on Nissans: L24. L26, L28, SR20, VG30, RB 25.26,VQ30,35,37 HR and VR38, building and enhanced ECU design, for the last 40 years. You presentation is absolutely magnificent. Your manner and information is so accurate and the experience in your Videos is extremely polished. Your information is so well thought out and is accurate, and to the point. That is so refreshing compared to the mostly "garbage" on KZbin. Just want to give you props and thank you for your videos. Best Regards and Good Health, Phil Maiorca

I’m at 836/654 in my 2017 with upgraded stock frame turbos. Definitely has room to go but my pockets don’t if I break anything. Shep 1.5 billet 1st gear is all that’s done to the transmission. I broke my stock 2018 GTR’s transmission at just 563/603tq and 12k miles on the car. Snapped 3rd gear so this isn’t gospel by any means but yes, 650tq is always the number I’ve heard quoted.

I feel like upgrading stock turbo's and keeping torque low while more linear is better suited for a track car. These days anything under 750 or so wheel hp is getting left in rolls. At least in FL and TX

[@boostcontrolledperformance1523]

On the internet everyone has a fast car. If you are going 60-130 on the street in under 6 seconds you are beating 99% of what you come across but I agree, there's always someone faster! This upgrade really makes the car feel like it has longer legs.

[@jayjesuswake3140]

If 650 tq is the safe spot( stock) then this motor is ridiculously monstrous...cant wait to put some bigger turbos on my redsport to hold tht torque curve better at higher rpms

Hp isn’t the issue it’s the torque. You need to keep it around 650tq, HP wise you good up to as much as 900+ but that’s not possible while keeping the torque that low...so we generally see 820 to 850 whp on boost logic 750x and Cico performance gateways

Great question. What mods the car already has is hugely important to answer this question. If you already have most bolt-on parts, under $10k. But if you have a bone stock car, it can easily approach $20k.

Thinking on ordering these Pure turbos real soon as my fbo e85 setup is starting to be slow to me lol. How much faster is a bolt on e85 car on Pures vs a stock turbo bolt on e85 car? Lets say a roll race how much faster? 1 car 2 cars 3 cars a bus length? Also I’m guessing 1/4 mile trap speed should be some where in the high 140’s? As stock turbos tend to go 133-136 on the norm...

Its considerably faster than before! ;-)

[@raymondmorales8252]

Bro go to the R35 Nissan GTR group page in Facebook, there is a recent video from a roll race between a full bolt on GTR with stock turbos vs a full bolt on GTR plus upgrade aftermarket turbos that was making this same car 800 WHP.

Trying to decide if I should stay FBO e85 or dish out the cash for upgraded turbos. Do you feel like the performance difference is sufficiently noticeable to justify the turbo upgrade? Is the quarter mile time that much better with upgraded turbos?

[@boostcontrolledperformance1523]

Joel, The performance difference with turbos is SIGNIFICANT. 60-130mph on stock turbos in very good conditions will be high 6s. With turbos, low 5s. The acceleration, especially at higher speeds, is what changes. It doesn't "fall on it's face" like it does with the stock turbos.

[@joelchevalier448]

@@boostcontrolledperformance1523 Thanks for your response! That's very helpful. Im considering installing the AAM 1600 Garrett turbo. Do you think I can safely lower that 60-130 time to the 4-second range on the stock engine and trans. Eventually I want to maximize these turbos to 1400 WHP after an engine and trans upgrade.

[@fxvelavelgon8976]

Hi guys, I really enjoyed your video as it when straightforward to the matter on hand. I have a 2016 Black Ed with Cobb carbon intakes, 1050x ID injectors, DW pumps and HKS mid pipe. The car has 600whp-625trg on 104 Oct & 568whp on 93. I live in PR & pump E85 is not available & can Ethanol is $85.00 per 5 gals. Here the weather is 95-100% humidity & super hot all year around. My next upgrade will be FBO with AMS Race IC & AMS DPs. My tuner gave me good feedback about the Boost Logic 750X V2 turbos. Have you worked those? If so, what is your take on them? Saludos.

@@boostcontrolledperformance1523 what about some universal garrets

[@astoundu]

So my question is on a 17’ to 20’ GTR which if I’m correct are the same and have 565 hp. If you want to get the car to 600 whp. What would you suggest? And being the exhaust is titanium is it possible to retain that exhaust and just upgrade the mid pipe and I’m guessing you will say intakes plus tune. Thanks for your input.

[@boostcontrolledperformance1523]

Philip Klipper great question. The fuel you run greatly impacts the outcome. On 91/93 you would need a good turbo-back exhaust, injectors, fuel pump, ideally an upgraded intercooler, and intakes to achieve a true 600whp on pump gas. If you want to run E85, this number is easily attainable with just the intakes, injectors, and fuel pumps.

[@astoundu]

Thanks I’m on the east coast in the ny area. I’ve been watching a 19’ at a dealer for a while now. I’m in the process of selling a few things and then I will pull the trigger. I’m currently driving a 17’ Infiniti QX 70 S as my daily. Thanks for your input.

Thanks in advance you if guys could answer my questions.

[@disaster6467]

I had a stage 1 block in my previous gtr, that's only rods and pistons, which can handle 1300hp, the next thing that can fail is the crank, which can handle around 1300hp or 1000wtq this is enough to walk a plaid

[@disaster6467]

@@guilhermekr1677no problem, I had my block built by Tim Lynch, the stock block can only handle 650wtq, with upgraded turbos 650wtq takes you around 820-850whp, this is also a good stopping point for your clutches / baskets, if you're upgraded rods then the block will be easily make 13-1400 whp anything past that you will need to upgrade the crank, and your transmission after 650wtq-850whp) Will also need clutches and gear sets if you're shooting for 1300+

HP is a function of torque and RPM. Simply put, this car still has a much broader torque curve than a stock turbo car and that is why it accelerates much harder.
