Just come across a set at the right money, what do you think of them ??

Would they suit my set up??

Power FC

Dual 3" > 3.5"

Sub Zero manifolds and dump pipes

260' in and ex cams (Tomei)

cam gears (Tomei)

4" Trust cooler

700cc Sard Injectors

600hp Fuel pump

HKS Twin plate clutch

any help on the turbo's would be great..

P.S. This car is not being built as a Drag car, just a quick streeter

If you are after 600hp you should buy a T51R SPL. Nice and streetable with the ability to get up to 650hp with more boost. A 5 inch exhaust would make it spool really quick, like 2 bar at 2,000rpm. Perfect for third gear burnouts with the standard CA18 gearbox. Need a single plate copper clutch though, so it hooks up mad. If you get a carbon bonnet you will go faster too cause it's 50kg lighter than a GT-R bonnet.

My friend's holden ute has 600hp with big chrome rims and he's making 600hp with the standard turbos but with a GCG 700hp Hi-flow cause you make the horsepower that their numbers say you will.

I think the GT-SS and GT-RS are too new to be a common turbo conversion in Aus. Plenty of 2530's + 40's.... Merli was doing a bit of research about the new ones, he might be the one to ask.

As far as web-board comments and opinions, the UK GT-R board has a couple of people that have tried both... and swear by the GT-SS. They claim the GT-RS is too big and meant for a stroked engine..

hey 600 is this a rb25 or an rb26?

I just clicked b4 I chastised inasnt's post and he is right

the ss are 320-350 hp rated the rs I not to sure but say 400 450.

If your on a rb 25 gt 3040 or bigger is required on an rb 26 the ss would be adequete but you would need to run high boost to make the big power. but that is no problem provided the car is tuned well ie no detonation.

cheers

a t51 kai would be nice on either motor spl being a bit to big for what you want

Straight from the HKS website:

GT2835 (Full Special Kit)

A comparison:

That last comparison has changed since i last saw it on their website. The old pic was easier to read and showed what order each individual turbo had as far as supporting power, response, etc. Obviously all of HKS's graphs will be skewed to make their product look better, but the power figures will vary from car to car obviously depending on the other mods to support these turbos.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
