yep just put some on my R32 GTR

feel great just a little bit lagger than stock R32 units but push really hard.

Only thing that didnt fit was the oil drain fitting on bottom of turbo so the bolt holes need to be slotted to fit.

Noone,

Fairly self explanatory, tis when you need it to fit, but cant be F'd or don't need to make a new bracket... so you drill / file out to fit

Are you sure that was all the issues? I had a mechanic describe a whole list of issues putting these on - of course I can't remember the specifics.

I see you're in canberra - did you do it yourself, or get some place to help you out?

Yer I just fitted them to my 32 as well. It's a big job but yes they do bolt straight up and the only modification is to slot the oil drian holes. It does seem alittle dodgy but but there's no presure in these lines so it's perfectly ok to slot the holes. I'm having other issues with mine at the moment though with "shuffle", mainly because I haven't got the necessary supporting mods yet and it's not tuned.

there are more "tricks" than "issues" when fitting them. Many green gtr mecahnics struggle with removing and fitting the turbos ie taking like 2 days to do the swaps....

Okay havn't had my turbos off YET so wasnt sure just thought drain holes would be threaded, slotting seemed like it could result in leaks I am assuming that isnt the case.

These sound like the go though little bit more lag than stock but capable of heaps more up top with the 2860 -7

and abit more lag than "-7's" with heaps more up top for the 2860 -5's

Just to clarify can I make a bracket change lines to avoid the need to slot the holes? Is there any point avoiding it ie. does it leak or anything if u do?

its a common mod, if you cant master this simple task without disaster it would probaly pay to get some-one to install the turbos for you. trust me you should be fine.

thanks for your help as I stated havnt yet taken turbos off YET so am just more than anything wondering if these holes are threaded etc. think I can probly make a bracket OK or slot the damn holes "without disaster" I just assumed at first read these holes would be threaded for the oil return lines yet others have stated they elongated the holes was curious as i thought you would have to get a good seal so as to not have oil going everywhere guess not.

believe that

-7 is GTSS size

-5 is 2530 size

therefore you'd get more lag from a -5 than -7 but more top end for -5.

PS, byebyev8, big threads on these turbos if you search

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
