The slide turbo's appear to offer a cheap excellent value upgrade.

I couldn't bring myself to spending 2k on a GCG highflow for only 250rwkw odd. Spend another couple hundred and throw a tidy little GT3076r 500hp turbo on the side of it, thicker headgasket, 20-22odd pounds of boost and you'll have a damn good attempt at cracking 300rwkw. :rofl:

Shaun at Boostworx doesn't have issues having the rb25's holding together at such power levels/boost so it may be worth speaking to him to see what he recommends with regards to your spool expectations etc.

depending on what horsepower you want, when you want it to hit full boost, what mods you have done to your engine already

determine what turbo you should choose, i suggest you see an expert.

cause you dont want to waste all your money on something thats not going to suit your aplication

thats just what i think

I got my GT3076R turbo recently from ATS (Adelaide Turbo Services) and its going extremely well. Havent had a single issue yet and it looks extremly tidy and has stock appearance. Of course for now I have gone the option of using a Rb25 stock exhaust housing for the turbo but once I decide to get more power and redo the dump I'll get a different one put on. @ the moment looking for ~240kw or so before my engine shits itself then I'll have my own crack at 300kw with a different setup on the same turbo.

Paul, did you end up having the std compressor housing machined up to suit or did Bill simply use the gt30 comp cover and run a silicon elbow to the ic piping?

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
