Now im putting

  • A Geniune Garrett gt35 Bush bearing Turbo only done 2000km
  • Teal external Wastegate with screamer ( this is for the coppers only )
  • Sard fuel pump with reg..
  • All will be returned with Safc II.

what are your opionions.

What is the intended use of the car, i would be using a different turbo, and you will need full engine management and injectors, and screamers on a street car is plain stupid

Max psi will be 14psi

I was told My tuners that the safc will fix it for 14psi

The Turbo was also told would be fine

i know the full engine mangement would be better but i dont have 2g in my pocket atm.

as for Screamers.......they sound SEXY.....

Sorry to tell you mate, find a new mechanic. What they have told you is a shocking modification list, which if someone were to suggest that to me, i wouldnt ever go back there as they clearly have no idea.

You dont purchase a GT35 and run 14psi. You run 20-25psi+ on a 2.5ltr. Otherwise there is no point having the turbo on there.

Its not going to do anything but give you a laggy and unresponsive car.

To give you an idea, the turbo is capable of well into the 350rwkw marker, so only running around 240rwkw that you will be, is just pointless for a turbo of that sheer size.

Your far better off with a hi-flow or a better matched GT30XX turbo.

It will make around similar power (on around 15-16psi), but more importantly probably make boost 2000rpm earlier and be super responsive.

Also the use of a S-AFC for such a setup is also ridiculous. You need a fully programmable ECU. Not a $350 band aid :)

This is probably one of the worst 'my mechanic suggested' threads ive seen this year, i strongly urge you to go somewhere else

^^^ the best advise you could possibly listen too !!!!!!

GT35 14-15psi = calender to map response and a stop watch to record how long it will last with a SAFC tune :)

Okay.................. I printed this thread and showed it to my tuner

and he completly agrees with what R31Nismoid had to say......

Now he said to it wasnt a GT35............. I dont were i got the gt35 turbo from then

He said it Custom GT30........it was for there twin turbo supra...... but now there using t67 turbos

T3 flanged........ i know it is bush bearing and it need an external

They also said the should minimal lag or even no lag wif this turbo...

As for a computer he said it will run much better with a fully programmable computer but for now we can make it run on low setting with it......................

i should be getting a EMS Stinger soon

I dont believe "no lag" :blush:

A GT30 is roughly 260-320rwkw depending on config used.

I'd be asking what housings it has on there, and what wheel trims it has.

THEN we'll be able to tell ya as someone has probably used one before :D

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
