There is nothing wrong with 400rwkw....well unless you want more

Why not try the T517Z? I had them on my old setup and was able to put out 422rwkw on Willallracing dyno. The setup was a fun and reliable package for drag/circuit for 2 years aldready.

I upgraded the engine and maxed out these turbo with my current setup. I am looking at getting the T618Z's. I will use the T517Z for one more track day and will more than likely replace them with their larger bros. Does anyone have a pair of T618Z that they want to swap for a pair of T517Z? GTR747, if you are keen on these turbo or my complete old setup let me know. I changed the engine because the cam seals were old and a bit leaky but other than that the engine was still strong I still have the power fc map for this setup. All you need to do is recondition the head, replace the rings, get a pair of manifold and you will have a reliable setup. My car and the spare RB26 are in SA atm too

BTW sorry to go off topic but just want to help

Thanks guys for all your help - im going with the GT-SS kit poss from nengun. Does anyone know if i'll be hit with any import tax's or anything? I have done some research and so far its been a mixed bag of answers.

anything over $1000 will attract duty.

Customs aren't silly.

They know all the people sending stuff in from JPN, so you'll be lucky if you get around it for turbos

[andz]

come on, dont let them change your goal

you've gone down from 400 to 300

go HKS 2530's, has both response and top end power

there's always room to improve your kw down the track, whereas with GT-SS, you won't improve much more than 330rwkw

[blitzxtr]

what he said...2530's need 2bar of boost to do 400AWKW so its really stretching them too. GT-RS turbo's are the king of bolt on turbo's...currently powering the fastest bolt on turbo GTR on the planet.

save yourself some headaches, heartache's and lots of time and stress. Sell all the gear you have and buy our car...simple 500kw all day every day at a lowly 25psi.

Funny Funny lol but its true fastest bolt GTR on the planet

Im not saying i'll get around it, just how much duty it will attract roughly

wow I never knew the 517z were capable of that much power...at what boost ? I always thought for those sort of numbers a 518Z was required....awesome result

Im no expert with turbo but it's a T517Z with 10cm housing. Does this make it a T518Z?

[THENIG]

if your interested in buying from japan can i suggest emailing Streeter (he normally trades on ns.com) far far more reliable and cheaper then neugun. his email address is [email protected]

awesome reputation also so have no fear ordering from him

+1

best and cheapest way to gets stuff from from yahoo auctions, with the least hassles, even if you speak japanese

[Dynamix]

Remember whith trust t517z you need trust dumps becuase the internal wastegate is on the opposite side to garret trubo, so you need dump pipes to suit..

9krpm, your turbo's are still T517z just with a 10cm housing, they also come in a 8cm housing, much like you can get say a garrett 3071r in a .64, .81, .96 housings ect

wow I am really impressed by these T517Z's....Anybody else got any experience with them ? or maybe with the 518Z ? They seem to be a fair bit cheaper than equivalent HKS and yet perform every bit as good and maybe better..But last I heard was they dont come with water cooling...is this correct ? As a circuit/Street car oil coolers would then be even more critical...I am assuming

I would love to hear more about the T518Z too. I have a Greddy oil cooler kit and the oil temp has been fine at QR raceway. I only overheated once at Mallala but that was possibly from air in my coolant system.

Thanks for the info Daynamix;) I thought they are T5178Z all along

How is this differ from a T618Z and what would I expect with the larger turbo?

BTW the previous power was achieved with 18psi.

Some people call them either T5178z ot a T51710z, the last numbers which are 8 and 10 on both the names i mentioned refer to what size housing they are, eg T5178z would have the 8cm housing, and 10 would be the 10cm housing.. The differences between the T517z and the T618z would be like the difference between HKS GT-SS and GT-RS turbos.. T618z would be to big for the rb26, as they're the biggest low mounts trust make and would be suitable for a 2.8 stroker, just keep you current one's, they're a great bit of gear, i'm tossing up weather to run them on my next gt-r..

URAS will be able to give you some more info on these turbo's as he's built an rb26 s13 with these turbo's for driftcat..

Cheers.

[9krpm]

Thanks Dyn. I bought a slightly stroked engine from Willallracing and have maxed out the T517Z. They currently have awesome midrange but are choking my top end. I can't produce any more top end power with them compare to the 2.6L. My tuner is tweaking it atm and I will see how it perform at the track.....but I think I will go bigger eventually

Customs are silly and there is no duty on turbo's GST yes Duty no definitely not.

They tried to slug me duty and as I know people in the import export trade i asked they they knew straight away

Get a good customs broker and they will tell you the same

cant get around GST though
