Stock turbo is t3 flange

Are you high mounting your stock turbo? If you are then don't bother...

Either way you will need;

- New intercooler piping

- New dump pipe

- New intake pipe (turbo to AFM)

- New oil feed line

- New oil return line

- New water lines

Other little things you may not have considered;

- Head to manifold gasket

- Some new studs

- New bolts and lock washers

- Other gaskets (turbo to manifold, dump pipe etc)

cheerz... nah there's a couple really cheap sets on ebay the guy has a lot of good feedback... $800 for high mount + turbo... bit sus on that..

and $500 for a front facing intake manifold so i want to get them both and then get an exhaust or fabricating shop to make up some piping.

thanks mate

the ebay manifolds (both intake/exhaust) are very questionable, but ebay turbos PLAIN SUCK ASS. DO NOT get an ebay turbo !!!!!!.

ebay is good for buying phones without warranty from Hong Kong that die within a few months.. I'd say your $800 high mount set up would last considerably less than that.. You'll end up paying more in the long run after you have to fork out for new gear so why not do it right the first time?

so where would you recommend getting good parts from??

because after all the usual lil things like exhaust, coilpacks, injectors, FPR, fuel pump, sparks, PFC, IC... i want to do a front facing intake and high mount turbo with maybe a gt3540... so yea looking for good places to source them?

thanks, Ryan

If you want big reliable power,then be prepared to spend big dollars.

As soon as you start upgrading one thing,you willl need to upgrade other things,and then other things will need upgrading because of your last upgrades and so on and so on...

Power FC $1400

Injectors $800

FMIC $500

Fuel pump $200-$480

Coilpacks $470

Greddy plenum $1000

Full exhaust $1000

EBC $400

And if you seriously want to use a 3540 you will then have to budget for a rebuild. $8000-15,000.

And we have not started on brakes,and drivline which will all need to be upgraded.

Get all the basics done first then see how you are with the wallet.There are alot of good threads on here for first upgrades,check them out.

ahhh too much moneyz atm..

yea ill do basics but i mainly want the front facing intake and high mount because they look so bloody sexy!!

maybe not a gt3540 then maybe just a high flow?

If you really want those things.get the Greddy plenum,but my adivise is to leave the turbo low mount.As its cost outways the benefit you will get from it.....If any.

And showing off a stock or highflowed turbo in the way of a highmount setup,does not make your car look any better.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
