i have heard a few ba reports on gt rs turbos.

they are suited to 2.8ltr engine.

a guy in the uk had 2 sets fitted and had problembs low to mid range on an rb26dett.... good to end though.

so i think safest is hks 2530 as they are well known and driveable on the street.

Hi markr34gtr, we have had GTR's with all sorts of turbo's on then. By far the best allround (road, drag & circuit) was the HKS2530's, closely followed by the N1's, then daylight. With 406 fwkw, those 2530's were heaven on a stick, we upgraded to 2540's and the result was so dissappointing, hardly any more max power, lower average power from 4,500 to 8,500 rpm and way more lag.

If I had a 2.6 litre GTR then 2530's would be on it, simple as that.

Went in a 33 GTR just a few weeks ago with 2530 on it and 350rwkw with great driveability etc. Spooled up early and pull right through to 8500.

For me if I was putting 2530 on I would also put motec on it as this will improve drivability, smoothness etc. Also I would mod the transfer case to make the front hook up faster and thus reduce oversteer. Just what I would do.

Hi Mark, we use the a 300 rwkw maximum target for a standard R33/34 GTR intercooler. Boost is irrelevant, it the airflow that makes the power.

For a nice drive we find, being AFM based, an Apexi Power FC to be much better than any of the MAP based ECU's (that includes Motec).

R34's don't have the same ATEESA programming as R32's so don't have the same strong oversteer tendancy. If you want otadjust the bias then HKS make an electronic controller for the purpose. But I would not worry about it on R34, its a must on a high power R32 though.

Hope that helps some more

Mark, there are a couple of us over in Perth running 2530's on GTR's, I've got an R33 and a mate has an R32. He's running 2530's with HKS dumps on stock engine, sticj injectors, stock FMIC, with PFC, Bosch 044 and 1.2 bar and is getting 403rwhp. I'm running 2530's and dumps, HKS FMIC, 700cc injector, cam gears, PFC Pro but am awaiting z32 afm's before tuning to 1.3bar.

I changed my FMIC at 280awhp and without changing anything else power rose to 320awhp so I disagree with the 'stock cooler is good for 450hp theory..

Another factor to consider is about 500 - 550 engine hp the internals are going to be under a lot of pain!!!!

But defo go the 2530's, wicked for street....

Cheers

i agree , sold on 2530s. might sell my r34 intercoller and get hks type r. 600 by 300 by 103...

i have a mines ecu which is set up for hks 2510 and 600cc.

so it should work okay with my 700cc inj and nismo fuel reg.

i know the way to go is apexi pfc but turbos arent cheap.

we can just tune it with the fuel reg for now..

Hi EVLR33, I am very interested in your experiences with changing the intercooler and getting 40 awhp increase at 280 awhp. Did you change anything else? What happened to the boost? You went from a standard R33 GTR intercooler to ? You didn't change the pipework? Same dyno and operator? Same temperature and humidity?

The reason why I am so interested is that I have had a R33 GTR intercooler on the flow bench and it showed no real restriction until 60 lbs of air per minute, which is enough for around 600 bhp. Plus the GMS R32 GTR 's with N1 intercoolers (same as R33) made 620 bhp before CAMS slapped the limiters on them. So there is a far bit of evidence around to support the 300 awkw limit.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

thanks sydneykid i think i will leave the r34 cooler on for a while as my target is 500 to 600hp. so the 1800bucks can by a apexi pfc or something more important to balance the package.

would like 300rwks and 11 sec 1/4 time.

ran a 12.9 at 108mph last month at 1.1bar with the way it is now.

with a crap 2.0 60ft time. have done 1.8s before .

Mark,

I have the Type R HKS cooler, it's awesome... Also speak to Mark Sharp from Bansai Motorsport he's a legend and he's in Qld. I got my turbos off him second hand for a good price and they were virtually brand new.. Also you can get a PFC with Hand controller for around $1300 from places like Nengun and Greenline. I would suggest you also get the HKS Actuators when you get the turbos. A mate put them on his 2530's and they hold 1.1 bar perfect. I'm running stock actuators and my boost drops off and isn't as consistant...

SydneyKid, I was shocked at the result as well. It was done on the same Dyno about 2 weeks apart (temps were not much different). Boost went up slightly but we didn't change it. Nothing else went on the car except the cooler, stock pipes and everything.... Went from a stock R33 cooler to a HKS Type R...

I guess there could have been a problem with my stock cooler but it looked in good nick... A fair bit of oil and crap came out of it when I degreased it that could have affected it I suppose..

Cheers

Brett

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
