Hi all

After some advice on which turbo/turbo's to run

Im chasing 400 awhp on a safe tune, with boost settings at 0.7 bar low and whatevers required for 400 hp on high.

I have been looking at a set of 2560R's. Whole aim is to keep the response while providing respectable power. a set of slides would also do the job however there not rated as high so I would probobly be asking more out of the turbo and im not so sure about the journal bearings? The price difference is quite large however. I also looked at a set of N1's but 3k for second hand turbo's just doesnt do it for me.

Thanks

Ian

ian, you'll be after a set of gt-ss. however i doubt ull want to pay for that little HKS badge, so go and have a talk to dan, he's supplying my turbo's for me.

Another thing is to go and look at the dyno thread in forced induction (its a sticky) as there's a fair few setups and figures in there.

Youll be look at ~3k for the turbo's, then u'll prolly want to change dumps while they are off, and then u need gaskets.

On a side note, give me a figure ud be willing to pay for my N1's and i'll think about it. Also i'm selling those hks dumps, and the trust front pipe.

Im sending you a PM now shane.

Slide turbos would be good but I think the wait on them is about 2 months at this stage? Also there only rated to 300 kw so I would be close to maxing them out, unless that was 300 kw per turbo.

Shane, more info on the GT SS man?

The HKS GT-SS is the inbetween standards and the HKS 2530. From what i've seen its pretty comparable to N1's. A set of HKS GT-SS will cost you $3032.32 + tax if u get hit from nengun.

I know spilmer (thats his name on here) is running a pair on his gtr.

I've also been looking around too Ian, decisions decisions....

a mate put some of those garret 2860R's on his 32 GTR and he's very happy, they are very responsive..

I wanted something a little bigger for my GTR but with stock internals i cant. I'm thinking about getting the Garrets too. at less than $2500 a pair brand new you can't go past em..

Apparently a well set up to4z can come close to matching the GTSS's down low....I video evidence somewhere!

I attached some turbo rating info but I think it is a little old

Along side N1s and GTSS's I would look at Apexi AX53B70 P21s and Trust T517Zs

is that for one or both?

Both

Yeah, price is more or less the same as the 2560's ive been looking at, and this appears to be a kit with all the gaskets etc.

2860R's would probobly be too big for me and response would suffer, but where did you find them at less then 2.5k a pair?

big single!

well how driveable do u want it.? u can have a small single with internal wastegate like some of the BeeR* cars.

but i also second 2530 or GT SS

yeah ive been thinking of going to a medium sized single rated to 450 HP or the like, however airflow may suffer as opposed to the twin setup? Bearing in mind im not chasing quater mile times, its being built to turn and be a daily so midrange is important.

thanks for the pic man, helpful. Not all the turbos im looking at are listed on there but never the less I will look into the turbos your recomending.

BeeR uses a 3037S on their drift RB26 should make the power you want and have strong midrange..afterall that is what they chase in D1!

ian, keep in mind if u purchase a set of turbo's from nengun, ur likely to get hit with import tax, and that will soon blow the price of the turbo's way up.

going a single would be too much hassle and money. you need new manifold, dump pipe, front pipe, intercooler piping, afm piping, water & oil lines. and then it'd be majorly defectable, caus it'd be the first thing the coppers see when they lift ur bonnet.

well i dnt remember what they are using lol.. i just remember it was an internal gate single.. that wasnt at all that big.. and was deemed quite driveable.

the 2560R's seem the go at this stage, bang for buck they seem to be the best bet.

Hey shane how come ur never on msn anymore?

not on msn during the day as im at the toowong office now (until may), and i'm surrounded by stiffs :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
