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.

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.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
