Ye, this is motor performance section.

The track racers generally dont get past this section a lot, and FI is so active topics drop off pages fast. Just the nature of the section.

Those who play with diffs and what not as in the Motorsport/Drivetrain areas :P

I my humble opinion the t517z 8.0cm are too small for a stroker. I would go hks2530's. They will come on boost around 3000rpm with a stroker. The mines gtr use them and it is one of the fastest in the world around a track that is still a street trim car. You could even go the hks gtrs. I know a r33 gtr that has a 2.8 tomei stroker and gtrs' and comes on boost about 3300rpm and makes 400rwkw. Note your gearbox can become fragile at over 350rwkw if you give it a hard time. Especially the series 1 boxes.

You said earlier you bought a pfc with the boost solenoid and that it is self learning... I am not sure who told you that but that is incorrect. I am sure you and your tuner now know this, but all computers are only as good as the person that tunes it so make sure you don't skimp on that.

If you want to compete in dutton etc your priority should be suspension as power is no good if you can't get it to the ground. I would suggest some bilstein PS9's which will set you back about 4k but will do the job very well. If you want to spend less I would get tein monoflex. Swaybars are a must in my opinion. I would suggest some whiteline bars. You are also going to need castor and camber. You can do that with either adjustable rose jointed arms which are the 'best' solution for the track or with bushes which won't give you as much adjustment but will avoid the rattling that goes with rose jointed arms. If you are not sure what you are talking about my suggestion would be to talk to 'Sydneykid' on these forums as he is extremely knowledgable and can provide a solution that will work.

In regard to diffs I would get 1.5 way's front and rear as 2 ways are just too harsh and make the car even more inclined to understeer if you put it in the rear. If you put a 2 way in the front it will make it difficult to steer.

I would stick to nismo diffs if it was me and you also need to be aware that aftermarket mechanical diffs are very noisey and make horrible noises.

In regard to the clutch it is not something I would skimp on as you really want to be able to control the take up easily and smoothly to drive the car well especially in tight events like dutton. I would get a nismo super copper mix or an osgiken. Yes they are expensive but they are for a reason.

Hope that helps.

Hi

Yeah I know about the mines car and the 2530 but every man and his dog has those turbos . The T517s 8cm are the ones for me at the moment and have seen some similar Japanese cars running them with success ( ie Garage Defend r33). More punch out of corners while 2530s are too linear. And lets face it the driver has a lot to do with it.

I actually did buy a kit from Sydney kid for 2.5k but have not received it so am getting my money back (2 months overdue) was supposed to coincide with my rebuild but he has let me down and f*#ked up my plans so has forced me to buy some other suspension

He is juggling 2 many balls trying to please everyone when the reverse is happening .

Engine block changed out for a new 24U block fully prepped along with head .Plus much more to much to write here.

Brakes and gearbox upgraded to handle the extra ps.

Already have twinplate nismo Cumix.

The only thing left is the diffs which I can get done at a later date if necessary will see first how the active rear goes (probably not) and a roll cage.

Think I have spent enough money by now so will lay off for a bit.

Sure I could buy a good rs porsche like my mate for a little more than what I have spent at the end of the day.

But GTRs do it for me and now we can compete heh heh.

Thanks for the info on the diffs though .

Why a 2way in the front??? (I don’t know much about diffs learning fast)

he said NOT to use a 2 way at the front

Front wheels like to turn at different speeds, obviously because they have different turning circles compared to one another

2 ways like to turn the wheels at the same speed, therefore the inside wheel has to turn faster than it wants to and will skip and make it very hard and dangerous to turn.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
