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.

    • 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.
