Looking to change the stock turbos on my 32 GTR. Here are my options

R34 N1s

HKS GT-SS

High flow with ball baring

I'm not interested in peak power, just want a very streetable car thats super responsive. Can anyone comment on each of the above setup?

I'm thinking of just high flowing because this is the most economical way but please share your experiences.

Other mods will include:

exhaust from turbo back

PFC

Boost controller (either EBC or bleed valve)

I'm in the same boat and was thinking of GT3071R's but came to realize that they would be a bit big for what i want...but I think I settled on these...

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...R_472560_15.htm

The graph looks great and will be streetable but still have the gusto to go over the top if I want....

These ones are a good as well but power would be down from the GT2871R's that I mentioned previously...

If you know how to read the graphs and have a target for your car just search the Garrett site and you'll find what you want. Plus you wont be paying the "HKS tax" and will still be getting a great product.

Hope this helps

What about high flow or N1s

Would they spool before the stock turbos? much difference in high end power?

They are a little bigger than stockies and will spool up a little later with good mid range and a little more than stockies up top .

Everything ive read about the GT-SS points to a very very good turbo, as close to stock response as the stock turbo's as you can get. I beleive they're less laggy than even the N1's.

Ive seen a GTR with these turbos plus the normal add-ons make 280KW at all 4wheels at about 18PSI.

With 21PSI-22PSI you'd break 300KW.

Id say for street and track, they're a very good option. just dont want more than 300KW down the road, cause there almost out of puff at this power figure.

N1's are a bit more laggy, but will give you a little more power at similar boost levels. The N1's were designed by NISMO to be the best compromise between response and power for motorsport. Im sure they know what they were doing when they built it.

Either would be a good option, personally id go the GT-SS's.

Cheers.

What kind of RWK will be seen from GT-SS. I'm chasing around 300 with near stock drivability

If you have a stock engine i wouldn't use big turbos ( its not going to last you long).

I have GTSS'S in my 34, all stock low k's, unopened engine, just exhaust and power f/c, just a little laggier than stock turbos, if you believe dynos ( i don't, they all read different) she made 289rwkw @16 psi.

There is different spec R34 N1's..

I still think you cant go past the Garret GT2560R 707160-5 turbos for std motor

they spool every bit as good as the gt-ss and have better top end for less boost and are more friendly to the pocket (these are the r34n1 turbos with the 0.6 comp housing not the 0.42)

on std internals and 20 psi i have made 530rwhp and have run them on the car from basically since day dot when the r33 gtr was stock std.

GT-SS are a fantastic street turbo setup for a GTR, and down the line if you look for more power, they are capable of making over 300 awkw with a set of cams and fuel system upgrade :(

For your application I think GT-SS's would be a better alternative to N1's

I find it very hard to beleive a set of turbo's small enough to spool up as quick as GT-SS's would be able to make anything near 530RWHP at 20PSI....

Contradicts many other GTR's ive seen with N1'S, GT2530's, TDO5's and even GT2540's. All of which are bigger and laggier than GT-SS, but can flow a LOT more BHP.But none of which make anywhere near 530RWHP at ONLY 20PSI!!!

Sounds like a very friendly dyno reading IMO... :(

One of our customers car recently upgraded from high flow GTR turboes to HKS GT-SS turbos. He uses it for club racing and is very competitive.

Standard heads and cams but had degree wheels fitted. Usual support mods.

The only change was the turboes and split dumps and degree wheels, everything else was the same!

I could show you the dyno graphs showing a direct comparison between the two but that only shows part of the story.

I drove both vehicles after the tune.

The GT-SS spooled up about 300rpm quicker than the high flows but felt like 1000rpm on the road.

The top end of the GT-SS was 20kw or so up on the high flows but because of the smooth torque felt like 100kw on the road.

The GT-SS were very progressive with throttle input because of the roller bearing core vs the sluggish response when you floored it with the high flows.

They really are a very good turbo "on the road".

The reality of is: There is no comparison.

Dyno numbers can become just a game of whose is biggest is best, but thats not always the case. I'd rather drive a 300rwkw GTR with torque from 3500 all the way to 8000rpm with instant throttle reponse than a 400rwkw monster that doesn't do a thing until 5000rpm.

Cheers,

Mike

high flow stockies will still cost you a couple of grand... wont make as much power as gt-ss, wont feel as good imo, and wont have as much response or top end....

I think the general feedback from most people here, is for what you want, go the GT-SS.

Now go order some (try greenline or nengun if your not sure where to get them) and let us know what you think when they are on.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
