I have definetly considered the single option, as well as I understand the benefits of it. Its just not a route I wish to go. Thanks for the info however!

I dont really care about high or low mount as I well be getting a custom manifold anyway. I do want to keep an internal wastegate however.

After doing research all of the turbos I had mentioned above would allow me to do this. However after looking at things, I have narrowed it down to either the GT-RS or the 2560 -10 for me. It appears they are damn near identical turbos, so it just comes down to which one I suppose.

Okay. So I have decided. After doing a good bit of research on my goals and purposes for my car, I have narrowed it down to 3 choices.

One is the HKS GT-RS turbos.

The other two are equivalent versions of the GT-RS, just made by Garrett.

The 2560 -10 that we were discussing

The GT2871R -15 w/ .64 Housing AR (same housing size as GT-RS)

The above two turbos are exactly the same with the expection of the housing .86AR vs the .64 AR. All of the other specs are the same.

How much of a difference in lag vs power will the two housings have? I will gladly give a little power up for a lot faster spoolup.

Comments?

My vote is twin GT2871RS with the 0.60 compressor and 0.64 turbine. They each flow enough air for 400 bhp using 1.5 bar at 74% efficiency. You should be looking at 1 bar boost by 4,000 rpm, which leaves plenty of room for rpm changes on gearchanges etc.

The 1 bar at 4,00 rpm is based on 3 litre capacity with 9 to 1 compression ratio and 264 degree cams with around 9.5 mm lift and some decent porting on an RB26 cylinder head.

:( cheers ;)

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
