Highmount, you'd be looking at a GT35 frame, or something around the 650/700hp mark basically.

Thats for singles obviously, and if ya still wanna head that route, it'll by far be the cheapest/easiest as twins is a mission.

Twins would just be the usual HKS2530 or similar across any manufacturer.

So manifolds, dumps, oil/water lines, piping of both cooler/intake and so on all need to be made, which is the catch as there is no kit for them i dont think.

Just need to fabricate literally everything to suit the high mount really as there is only high-mount kits for MUCH larger turbos like 2835/TD06 etc. Which really is useless for a streeter.

been looking around and yeah think i will just got for twin lows, and also looking to find a GTR with this power :(

Nothing overly unique about a 26 in a Gtst bro, its still a twincam RB motor, to the average joe it aint gonna mean shit, trust me, save yourself the drama and just get a GTR and start from that.

OK..now you are getting there.

Now this is what I may do soon.

My Nephews motor has shit itself in his GTR32..like most of them do(this one has a melted piston).

Buy his car with the busted motor..already has N1's Group A turbo's

Great set of rims/suspension and FMIC with pod filters already attached.(all after-market)

A re-build..with forged internals/new pump/collar/PFC maybe throw in some cams..if the money allows.

A quick touch up to some skirts etc..and polish......Drive the GTR

13K for car..10K for re-build ..23K all up

What I would not do....lol

Put a RB26 in a Gtst..no 4 wheel drive,need lots of mods to get it to fit and work...diff,gear/box/etc etc..a nightmare.

Brake upgrade/Rims.OMG the list is huge.

But hey its your money so do as you please...

8K for car..25K for motor/gear/box/clutch/turbo's/PFC/ etc etc etc

33K.

Now I go to sell my GTR32..I get 22K...you go to sell your gtst..you get 12K

Add it up now..10K(You spent more than me)..plus the resale value..another 10K

You have lost 20K and I lost only 1K.

i am thinking of getting a GTR now cause of better handling car for the power

Its funny how the costs and your losses may change :D your mind in being different. ;)

It is all good though..at least you asked the question...and then questioned your thoughts.

18K for a gtr32.....make sure you get it looked at...or Buy my Nephews one...and you know you have to fix the motor.

Good luck

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
