Hi all,

Last November my car had an "incident" with a fence,and while waiting for it to come back from the smash repairers i deceided to go all out on the motor.My focus is reliability and efficiency,aswell as some nice streetable power.Every week since then has been like xmas,as pressies arrive at my door.

The last parts have been ordered and will be arriving next week.List as follows:

CP pistons(9.0:1CR) 20thou over

Spool rods

Cometic 1.2mm MLS head gasket

Nissan gasket kit

Tomei valve springs

Tomei 256 Poncams

Tomei oil gallery restrictor

JUN crank collar

Custom head to sump oil drain

N1 oil pump

Greddy plenum

Greddy throttle adapter

Nismo 740c injectors

Nismo fuel pump

Nismo engine mounts

ARP head,main,rod and exhaust studs

ACL Race series main and rod bearings

Splitfire coils

GT3037 .82 turbo (has the slotted cover for that T51r sound)

GCG Stainless highmount manifold

Turbosmart 38mm Ultragate

All controlled by a Haltech E11v2.

The block and crank will be cleaned up and prepped (honed,linished,balanced,grub screwed ect)

Still trying to decide if im going to wrap or coat the manifold? Also im looking at buying a new crank collar.Is it worth getting one?

Please give me your thoughts and all suggestions welcome.

Ill be posting some pics as the build progresses.

Hey, ive got the gcg manifold, and although theyre thick walled stainless and look pretty good, its really easy to make a bracket from the manifold turbo flange to the head. Theres a hole in the head thats positioned perfectly. Its really simple but effective at supporting the significant mass of the turbo etc.

In the picture of the turbo, you can just see the black bracket behind the earls fitting on the engine side of the turbo. I just tapped some threads into the T4 manifold flange and used a 12mm bolt to secure the bracket to the head

Also, i got all my hot bits ceramic coated and, although expensive i think its worth the added thermal effeciency. I also wrapped my dump pipe and wastegate pipe. You can touch it when its running!

Any reason you didnt go with the 44mm wastegate?

I will be wrapping the dump pipe for sure.How much did you get charged for the coatings?

I bought the turbo gate and manifold in a package.The 38mm will be up to the task though.

Wow that looks nice.Is that two pipe joining into one at the wastegate?

Thats a very nice setup man, I look forward to seeing how it comes out. Its basically what I'd like mine to end up being like - capable of a LOT of very useable power.

Thanks.I will be tuning it for 22-24psi.I havent seen many 3037s make well into the 300s.So we will see how it goes.

hey dave good luck with everything!

Just a thought, a lot of guys building tough 26's use basically all goo except for the head gasket...food for thought

and a big congrats on the 740s, was very very easy to tune with on mine compared to the sards on the r34. I have the tomei/nismo pump too and all seems ok so think your fine for fuel for a while.

Z32 AFM is fine too, but you could always go haltech instead of powerfc, makes the plumbing a lot easier anyway i wish i had

maybe we trial fit my rips plenum while your motors out too. then i can finally decide wether to sell it or not

Bring the plenum around and we will have a look.

mine made 314rwkw at 19psi, 0.63 rear and Water meth injection.

With cams, 0.82 rear, and a fresh engine, and 22psi, you'll shit it in.

Also, my powercurve looked like a V8's.

I think the manifold was about $220 + $80 for the dump. I got these done at competition coatings in sydney, but i sent the turbine housing down to HPC in Melbourne because i heard that they were the best. This cost about $220.

The wastegate comes from the collector via two pipes and then into one.

Cheers.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
