After some major research I've settled for these turbos, was just wondering who in SA is running these turbos? Would love to hear your opinion on em :)

Also, open question: I'm getting them fitted at the same time as my Trust MX Extension front pipes...would this combo run fine with the stock ECU? I'm still hunting for a Power FC atm.

Im running N1s in my GTR with turbo back trust exhaust air filters Power Fc stock injectors stock fuel pump and stock afm's and im makinmg 296.5rwkw... comes on boost pretty early and they pull hard i like em

Need some clarification about the tune. I was under the impression that the stock ECU doesn't have any facilities for tuning, only an aftermarket ECU does...thats right, right?

you will be fine i had the n1's on with a stock ecu and had no drama's

Hi, I run N1s on my car... very nice! I have 326kw at wheels with smooth delivery.

Ryan is running 2860 turbos I reckon... similar but they hit a little harder. Shane (PURESX) is running 'em (2860s) too and they are nice!

If you are gonna go to the expense of changing turbos why not change computer?? A power FC will make a good difference to power and lots of people can tune 'em.

Ahhhh I see you are still lookin' for one!!

Yeah, seen a few FC's in the FS section, and Slidewize are doing new ones for $980 delivered...so I'm just shopping right now, still have a week or 2 before the car goes into Boostworx and I'm just being stingy atm :)

It's on the cards though, all about the timing of the purchase now...darn old cars! Still have a squeak on the front right suspension area thats driving me nuts!

how much smaller and less kws would a set of r34 N1s make to the GT-SSs?

on a GTR R33

This chart my answer some questions. BTW there are 3 slightly different versions of R34 N1 turbos.

I'm currently running the 2860 -5's which are a smidge bigger than the N1's and still relatively responsive with good power.

Is anyone running a pair of 2860 -10's or HKS GT-RS (virtually the same I think) on their GTR that can comment on response sacrifice vs power gain?

The GTR ECU's cam be remapped so that is an option with the question about the ECU tune ability. Also if you are going to go for a Power FC it's worth while going for a D-Jetro. One of the member on here made 290 KW with his GTR when setting up his D-Jetro but made 312kw what the same tune and the AFM's removed (they were in there as a pod mounting bracket until he made something else up).

Don't think I'm gonna change to MAF sensors, I heard its not as "drivable" ie, great for power but mine is a daily :P

Ask people who have MAP based ECU's and you will find that that is an internet myth.

If want to ask someone in the know send Blue32 a PM.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
