Dude,

You are looking at about 5k or so for 2, just depends on the horsepower spec you want.

Have you got a GTR already?

5k eh.. not bad, i am after lotsa power. 2540's would be a good sized unit imho :)

The ute?

I don't need to tell you how much it will cost you to have the 5.7 strengthened to handle 700+HP, and how often you will rebuild it once it does put out that much. 2540's can flow 350+ HP each no worries.

I've got a mate at a turbo joint, I'll ask how much for the GT2540s new with warranty for ya.

There have been some heavy discussions lately on the topic of 2540's. Basically it is a common opinion that the 2530's are actually a much better turbo, giving the same top end power but a much better bottom end.

There has been alot of talk about it here http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/show...y=&pagenumber=1

Have a read and formulate your own opinions, but it seems that quite a few people have done some research the hard way and this could save you the same problems.

Jeff.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
