Recently i have been seriously looking for a bigger turbo for my car, but wasn't too keen on the lag factor. My aim to to acheive 280-320rwkw, but i would like to keep it's drivability.

B4 i go on: i have done a comprehensive search and wasn't able to find anything on this issue, so please if you know of a thread post it up below.

For those in the know i would REALLLLLY appreciate your input and advise, i am all "ears"!

My idea is to replace my turbo and manifold with a twin turbo setup (gtr style). By using 2 smaller turbos (350hp each) this should, i think, produce about 400kw at the crank.

MODIFICATIONS (Things i know that need replacement):

-New manifold (Can a GTR manifold fit on the RB25det head?)

-Custom front pipes

-Dual oil/water cooling lines for turbos (can the original line be split into two to cool both?)

-Custom intake pipes (from filter to turbo and from turbo to fmic)

CURRENT MODS:

-Wolf 3D V4.51 R33 Plugin

-Fount Mount Intercooler

-Cold Air induction (Pod in sealed partition with 4" drain pipe feed from front bar.

-Adjustable boost

-3" hi-flow exhaust system from turbo

-H/D clutch

MODS TO BE COMPLETED WITH UPGRADE

-550cc injectors

-bosch fuel pump

-bosch fuel regulator

-Ceramic coating of all piping (ex. manifold, intercooler pipes, turbo cover, plenium, exhaust from turbo to cat., etc)

-ADJ. ex. cam gear (optional)

QUESTIONS:

-Is this project possible and financially fissable?

-Which turbo's would best do the job?

-Any other mods that you would recommend doing (cams, etc.)?

-Has this been done B4?

-How does the GTR manifold work? Does it use 3 cylinders per turbo?

-Any other information/points are most welcome.

Again, i would REALLY appreciate everyones input and like to say

THANKS in advance.

OK high power and lag go hand in hand un less you increase capacity sso you want 280-320 rwkw with boost down low the best way to do this is with an rb 25/30 motlowth on hearhas a similar set upto what you want and thats how he did it the twin turbo's are possible but you will still have lagg.

he is making 310-320 rwkw @ 1 bar full boost by 4 k rpm I believe

meggala

btw go to my web site and read the mods section It might help

Hi Nismo_Boy, how about we cost this idea...

MODIFICATIONS

-New manifold $1200

no a GTR one won't fit.

-Custom front pipes $800

-Dual oil/water cooling lines for turbos $300

-Custom intake pipes $400

MODS TO BE COMPLETED WITH UPGRADE

-550cc injectors $800

-bosch fuel pump $500

-bosch fuel regulator $300

- Ceramic coating of all piping $700

- ADJ. ex. cam gear $250

- 2X hi flowed RB25 turbos $2200 each

- Dyno tune $400

That's a nice round $10,000 but the RB25 internals won't handle 320 rwkw, so you will need...........

- forged pistons $2000

- conrods $2200

- balance, gaskets, seals, o'ring block say $1800

- oil cooler $900

- radiator upgrade $1000

- camshafts $1600

- porting of cylinder head $700

And that totals $19,850.

When do you want to start?

THANKS FOR ALL YA INPUT GUYS!!

Looks like i need to go back to the single turbo idea, as the deal with NISMO_BOY may fall through. It was pure coinsidance that he was selling this setup at the time i posted this idea. But i consider $4000 for basically a block, manifold (modified rb26DETT) and 2 worn turbos a bit rich, not to mention risky.

But now i am back to my original delema. What turbo will best do the job and has the least lag? I am under no illusion that i will get more lag, just want the best package.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
