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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
