Hey guys im new here hows it going?

Anyways im about to start progress on turboing my VS GTS (355ci forged bottom end/heads/custom roller cam etc) and i was looking into running a single GT42R or a slightly smaller Precision PT74 but im almost thinking twins could be a good option.

Would you guys think a pair of gt3082r's with a .68rear and the T3 style 2.5inch exhaust would be a good choice on a 5.8ltr V8??

Im looking at around 600rwhp on about 14psi with spooling starting around 2000rpm and full boost hopefully by around the 3-3500rpm mark,will these babies do the job??

Thanks in advance Nick

355 is a stroker to 5.7ltr i believe

383 is 6.3ltr?

correct me if im wrong, been MANY years since my v8 days died off :thumbsup:

either way, VERY hard questions to answer when not many would have any experience, i certainly have no idea :D

not trying to be rude, but wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guys on the ls1 forum?????????? :thumbsup:

Yeah thats an LS1 forum i have a Holden 5.7ltr stroker,besides i thought you guys would have more of an idea on Turbo's being a skyline forum and all :D

Nah its definately a 5.8ltr it was a 5.7ltr or (349.8ci) when it was a virgin bore but after the 30thou bore during the rebuild the cubic capacity increased to 355ci and 5.8ltrs :thumbsup:

multiply by 16.38 to get the capacity in cc's (i.e 5814cc)- so 5.8 is right

The twin setup would be the best option- saves having to run a set of exhaust pipes all the way from the other side of the engine, with the backpressure differences, heat, and associated headaches that that causes. The 0.68 ones should work well. It will need to be intercooled to achieve that rwkw figure, obviously

try this reading some info on this thread:

thing is most of us use a single 3082R on our engines, usually an RB20 or RB25 (2.0L and 2.5L respectively). What you're suggesting is using two of them on an engine with a displacement more than twice that. Now, turbo's are spooled by exhaust gasses, so assuming your engine burns twice the amount of fuel as ours, it'd make twice the amount of exhaust, which means it should spool two of those about the same as one of those turbo's on a skyline. Its only my guesstimation though. You'd really have to ask someone who works with turbo V8's for a definitive answer. I'd look towards forums in the US, specifically turbo corvette forums.

Yeah mate its got a 600x300x75 front mount already from my Vortech blower set up i sold off,would the .63's be o.k or a little restrictive on the 5.8ltr? Maybe a .82 or similar rear?

it's not quite that simple- essentially having 4 cylinders of "2.9L" worth of displacement per turbo would spool them quicker than a 2.9L RB feeding into the one of the same turbos used as a single- the reason for this is that turbos spool quicker when supplied with low frequency pulses from large cylinders

depends on the trim specs of the compressor and exhaust turbines, and the A/R of the compressor housing

i'd be looking to get turbos that can flow enough air in a twinned application to make at least 850 or-so-hp at the boost you want to run to ensure you can get the 600rwhp ur after

edit: you'll prolly want turbos that can make about 450hp each

complete waste of time

full boost by 3500 is doable on an engine that size

Yep agree with that

There are few lads up here and in Townsville that have the twin turbo set-ups on their V8's... There is also a wee Lexus IS200 with a twin turbo V8 in it :thumbsup:

Try checking out qldstreetscene.com

Those Turbos will do what you want.The big problem you will face is head gaskets as the Old plastics only have 4 head studs per cylinder and need all the help you can give them,1/2 head studs,Good gaskets etc etc. If its not to l;ate maybe look at a Chev as they have many more studs and dont try lift the heads of.The other problem has been finding drivelines that can live with the torque.

speak to capa or apss (air power systems) and get a twin turbo kit

its the easiest way to turbo a v8 with re-doing bucketloads of crap

a twin gt28ish would be plently enough for a good chunk of 500rhwp id expect

If you can't make 600hp with almost 6 lts without a turbo there is something wrong .

Most stock engines make 100 hp per lt these days without a turbo and I can think of a few that make close to 100 kw per lt .

Get rid of the old pushrod donk and buy a proper engine, with the aid of a turbo you only need half the displacement to make your 600 hp.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
