$400 seems like a good price.. apexi avc-r is $700 but they seem really good... but if u reckon the cheaper one is ok might look into that

Don;t use a single solenoid controller if you want to go to 1.2 bar or above.

I would recommend a Blitz unit. Take you pick which of the dual solenoid version you prefer. I got an ID III

oh ok makes mit easier to hold boost etc,plus you can run high low boost is that right???

just make sure you match your wastegate spring to suit the higher boost, that way your controller wont be working as hard to bleed off.

cheers

I've got a similar setup to what gun32gtr wants to do to his car.

Garrett 2860r(-5), Dump pipes, Exhaust, EBC, PFC, Splitfire coils, Jim Berry Clutch on a standard unopened motor showing 105xxxkm's.

All that made 275awkw at 18psi.

I'm by no means the worlds best driver and i still managed an 11.72 @ 118mph on my 4th pass on shitty bald street tyres.

I think that the mods you've got listed are fine and your car should be capable of 11's comfortably. I'd definately go with the 2860r's. They spool at around 2800rpm and hit full boost by about 4500rpm.

I hope all goes well for you. :sick:

MARKK hows it going? likie to no how ur car drives etc mate aS ive never been in anything other than my stock gtr... so boost starts at 2800 then is like BANG full boost or does it ease on? ill also be getting some cams/gears aswel, do u have cams at? also where did u purchase the gt2860s from?

ive seen them on ebay are they the real deal do u no? 3k i think they are!

agreed

the AVC-R wont cut it.

You need a dual for sure. send a PM to ferni. I cant remember what EBC he ended up with, but he had to change as he had issues

im doing my turbos soon as well, and i have GT2860-5s in mind. i was told they are quite responsive, yet still bigger than the GTSS. can anyone tell me when their 2860s (2530s) spoll up in the stock 2.6l engine?

Also the -5... bigger than GT-SS... are they are same as 2530's essentially???

I get confused between the "-5 & -7" :D

thanks mate i pm later,

yeh the -5 ill go there similair to 2530 should be fun then????

It is important to set the RPM limiter at say 7700....so you don't.

320Awkws with a t04z?What power rating is the turbo?

gun32gtr,

The other thing is that with the gt-ss turbo's your 1/4 mile figures will be( with your mods )around,

12.5 seconds on street tyres and 12's with stickys.

I am searching for 12's with road tyres and 11.5's with stickys and thats why I picked the 2530's.

Dont pay to mush attention to awkws and rwkws,....look at the times people have posted up

then look at the power levels they are producing .(most of the time they are inconsistent.)

It is also wise to see the modifications they have completed and what tune and boost they normally run.

Cheers and good luck with the upgrade.

8 grand is fine. the idea is to not rev it past that. and not rely on a oil pump destroying rev limiter. oh its a "800hp" item.

11.7@ 116mph and boost is 1.2 bar.

I've only got standard cams/cam gears. I did a comp test before the dyno (about 6 months ago). All cylinders around the 155 mark. I just did another comp just the other week. All cylinders still the same, just cylinder 6 was down at 150, but that could be due to a number of reasons.

The car feels really strong with heaps of torque.

Boost eases on between 2800 and 4000, then after that BANG. I've actually just upgraded injectors, pump and reg. Should hopefully come back with some more power after the dyno. :D

I got my 2860r's from rotomaster in Melbourne. I think i paid around the $1200 mark each.

One of the traders on here is selling them for $1300 each. (CRD i think it was).

Cheers

I've tuned a GTR with 2860R-5 cams and all the fruit make 460hp on about 23psi of boost before running out of fuel pump. They come with a piss weak wastegate spring on them from memory and I was having trouble controlling boost pressure with an AVCR. Have seen alot of aftermarket boost controller struggle to hold boost at around 3 times the wastegate pressure and below.

I would definately get larger wastegates say 15psi and I would definately get the bosch 044 as there flow rates dont drop as heavily as the pressure goes up compared to alot of the jap stuff.

I would be more inclined to stay with the standard oil pump as well and try your hardest not to bouce the revlimiter as thats what breaks oil pump drives especially brittle N1 drives. If need be raise your rev limiter a couple hundred rpm if it save hitting the revlimiter.

Edited by rob82

so if u raise the limiter say 8300 then 8000 wont be the limiter and it wont bounce causing the oil pump to break. is that it? i want a fairly safe tune as i want the motor to last a few more yrs if i can...

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
