Has anyone used Garrett 2560-10s yet? I want to use a pair in my wifes Tomei 2.8 thats slowly happening but would like some feed back before i make up my mind.Yes i know everyones going to suggest a big single but a GTR is twin turbo in my mind and will stay that way.

I care not for Drag racing ,Track is the place the car will be used.

Yeah arguably what makes the TO4Z cartridge is its TO4R compressor , the P trim turbine is a bit long in the tooth nowdays and long overdue to be replaced by one of the GT UHP turbines in a sensible size and trim .

The HKS version gets a leg up from housings that are not truck diesel types and can have custom AR's and diffusers to optomise for petrol performance apps .

Their GT2510 is old and old thinking compared to more modern GT28BB combinations , they learnt to lower the boost threshold by going down in comp trim rather than turbine trim and style . A couple of the SR20 spec GT-SS cartridges would be very interesting on an RB26 as they are basically a GT2530 cartridge with 60 rather than 63 trim compressors . Garrett sells this cartridge as well from memory .

Out of time cheers A .

I should grab some photos as it makes a lot more sense in pictures :mad:

I've attached a couple of pictures of the install I've finally got around to getting of the father's digicam. I've made some notes in the pictures. I'll try to remember to take some more (particularly of the front turbo and its support, and the top of the aircon outlet in the firewall) next time I have the car in bits.

Justin, as with several others, im running the HKS GT-SS's with Tomei Type B Poncams and making around 320awkw on a very safe tune.

The norm for most people running this turbo/cam combo seems to be around 315-330awkw, dyno and engine specs depending.

They are an awesome street turbo, particularly if you are looking for response.

I have garrett 25/60 and make around 228 kw at 5000 with a peak of 367 what does your car make around that rev range?

How hard was it to wrap the trust dumps? How much did you use in the prosess? I've ordered these dumps, and i'm currantly pulling out my turbo's and putting some 2530's in. (If I ever find who designed the R32 engine bay, i'm gunna kick em in the nuts)

Do you have anymore pics of your modding?

I would get them ceramic coated rather than wrap them (if I had my time again). When you put the dump pipes on the exhaust flange of the turbos the studs are extremely close to the dump pipes so fitting the nuts on is an absolute bitch, so much so it was impossible to have the wrap right up to the back of the dump pipe flange (the nut just wouldn't fit with the extra thickness from the wrap). YMMV. Some people haven't had this problem.

I can't remember how much wrap I used exactly. I bought one of these DEI Thermal kits. I am pretty sure I still have one of the 50" rolls left (but don't quote me).

I'll send you a more detailed explanation view PM.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
