Hi huys for now we are going with a T88 kit which we purchased from doughboy, off this forum.

Again anyone how has delt with chris will know that he has to be one of the best peopl eto deal with when buying car parts.

Thanks again Chris.

anyway

we purchased a T88-33D kit with a Sard wastegate.

We are just getting the kit cleaned and, sandblasted and then ceramic coated.

I'll get some photos up once the kit is put back together all nice and clean.

I thinkthis will be a good test to see what the results are like compared to GT-SS turbos to the T88.

Cheers

good luck with it, just wondering y the extreme change from the most streetable turbos on the market to the most laggiest of the lot? more power i guess? :) surely u aint gonna be using the t88 to its potential so y not something b/b and abit smaller, or isnt lag an issue?

cheers

I'd say with their motor combination they'll probably hit the limit of the turbo, and it will be a good showcase for Hypertune's range of products. I suppose their goals might be a bit more realistic than, say hypothetically, stuffing a big dollar race quality motor into an 1800kg grocery getter? Don't Coles carparks have a 15km/h speed limit? :)

maybe cause i want something different, not just another gtr. i want to park it up with people not knowing its fast, which cant be said for any model skylines and people automatically think they are fast, hence more getting stolen, or damaged from jeleous morons.

the motor wont always be in the stagea anyway, as it come out of a vl calais b4, and 2wd is just a waste of time, and r32 gtrs r too old with things looking dated (interior wise) and i dont like 33's at all, and 34's r mad but way too pricey.

i wasnt personally having a dig at 600hp's setup, i only asked the question as to why he went sooo big that was all? its pretty lame that u get shit from just asking a simple question, isnt that the point of the forums?

are we all supposed to just say thats awesome, and never find out y he is actually choosing it?

I agree with you cruiseliner... but you take the good with the bad. Although quite opinionated, this forum would have the most open minded (and knowledgable) people that i've seen on any forum... and thats why i think its one of the best. Bring up something like what BOV sounds the best and its a different story tho :)

Sorry for the slow reply.

the reason we went with the T88 is because we were maxing out the GT-SS we believe, and our engine was built for 800hp.

with the T88 onboard we will rev the engine up to 9500rpm were as now its only 8500rpm.

The 33d is the smallest so, with our engine combo it might not be as laggy as some think.

All we know is no one who has a engine the as the same spec as ours has gone from GT-SS's to a 33D turbo kit, I'm looking foward to seeing what the results are.

Yes there will be more lag but a GTR engine was designed to rev. With our SS turbos max power was at 7500rpm.

I'm sure the max power of the 33D is about 850-880ps.

We will be running up the car with the JUN plenum then with the Hypertune plenum and 97mm TB.

we may also be going to a 150mm intercooler as well.

Just wondering what other cars on this forum have a setup somewhere near the same as ours which has a T88 on it or something else big.

Cheers

I went for a spin with Dexter in his Maroon R32 with a 2.7ltr kit and t88-33d.....response was great...top end was awesome. Ben id say you have made a wise choice with the 33d mate...can't wait to view the results.

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
