Hey guys.. just completed a full rebuild for my R32 GTR.. the below listed is what has been done..

At the moment i have a stock ecu and will be going aftermarket, either power fc or vipec etc.

The question is, having the stock internals apart from the upgraded oil pump and cams, are these suitable turbos or are they too big and will the motor hold up?

- Stock bottom end

- N1 oil pump

- Garrett GT2860 - 10 turbochargers

- Tomei Type A camshafts 260 degree 9.15mm lift

- 550cc denso injectors

- Higher volume fuel pump

- Larger FMIC

Thanks guys

well i bought the car, had it for a while and my rings melted, previous owner rebuilt the bottom end with forged pistons and was very rough with the car.. i have just given it a fresh rebuild with second hand bottom end which is practically brand new with all stock internals apart from the oil pump which i changed to an N1.. therefore i already had everything that i have listed such as injectors, turbos, etc. So really i just want this setup to work...

GT2860-10s dont exist,

If you mean GT2871R -10 (and most people do) then these are some decent sized turbs

they are bigger than the 2860-5 (rough: 2530's) and are about the same as HKS GT-RS's

These are probably a bit big for a streetable 2.6, and ull almost definatley want forged rods and pistons

Do a search and see what the guys who run GT-RS's on 2.6l motors have to say, you might be happy with less low down power and more rush up top.

I had 2860-5's on my stock bottom end GTR and actually found them a bit laggy.. full boost 4700rpm. You really had to plan on booting it, couldn't just put your foot down at 2k and expect to go anywhere. I guess I was coming from an Evo with a short ratio box though, maybe not a fair comparison? If I was doing it again, I'd go GT-SS...

2860-10 do exist however they are GT-RS equivelents

will be laggy as shit for a street car, however your bottom end wont hold its power for long

depending on your power goals

id go 2860-7 (Garret) aka GT-SS (HKS) closer to the high 300awhp

or 2860-5 (Garret) aka GT2530s (HKS) high 400s

well i guess the plan is to have it mild tune with not too much boost going through them.. should be picking it up next week so i guess will see how it goes... however, by the sounds of it i dont think i will be enjoying the drive so far unless i give it hell which i dont like doing, i would rather somehting more responsive throughout the rev range and boost to come on around 3kish...

thanks lads :)

Go for HKS GT-SS if 3000rpm is your aim. I think Performance Wholesale has them on sale at the moment for $3000 all up. You can email them at [email protected] or the web www.hks.com.au

I saw a HKS 2.8L RB with 264/272 cams and GT-RS make on a BNR33 429kw (575HP) at 4 wheels at 22psi boost. The boost response was as follows.

2200rpm = 2.2psi

3200rpm = 4.5psi

4000rpm = 7.4psi

4250rpm = 10psi

4750rpm = 22psi (max set)

Cheers

Is that the CarToys modded Grey 33? I saw it at the autosalon in Adelaide. That power is at all four wheels btw.

Correct which shows that if you want boost by 3000rpm these turbo's are too big. Stick with the GT-SS for response.

:) therefore, having the 2860-7's would be fair to say that roughly around the 3k mark boost will start to come through... when i drive my car for the first time this week ill let you know when the -10's come on! hope its not too late!

My 2 cents.....

Your turbos are toooooooo big for a street 2.6L GTR.

For a street car you cant drive practically with mega lag.. It just takes away the "thrill" of driving a GTR (or any turbo car for that matter).

If I were you I would would sell off your current turbos and go for the GT-SS's. You will love the power and response. Trust me.... :(

so i've been told! lol i bought the car and it was built previously with a strengthened bottom end hense the big turbos and i have gone back a couple steps however leaving the turbos for now.. in the next couple weeks ill obviously be taking them off for sale so yeah i most definately will be getting a set of GT-SS's... :wub:

all 4 makes no difference to it all

:D LOL

of course it does! How about you get away from your keyboard for a moment, and actually pull two dyno runs, one a 2WD dyno and one on a 4WD and post up the differences in power delivery and torque curve and try to tell me otherwise...

:D

You are wrong....we have proved this theory on more than one occasion in front of hundreds of people at Autosalon. The difference in a 500AWKW car.....2KW.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
