Well it seems that at my last outing to winton raceway my turbos decided that enough was enough.

so im now looking to upgrade a bit. the thing that im having trouble deciding weather to stick with the twins setup or to go big single...

if its going to be twins, im looking at the garret 2860-7's.

i want something that going to give me good power/torque, without sacrificing response. the car does see a bit of track work...

but ive always liked the idea of the single turbo with the external gate screamer (love the noise!!!).

has anyone got any suggestions on what i can go for?

cheers.

matty.

You know what, i was gonna go for the HKS gt-ss kit but with all the trouble from EPA today its best to for for garrett stuff because if you do wind up in a testing booth, they will only see the garrett logo and think its stock.

everyone so far is saying the -7's are the bomb for track and street + add some cams for a little extra top end and your there.

I wanted a big single sooooo badly for the gate and look but honestly, after my recent exhaust EPA im sick to death of dealing with all the bullshit so stick to the lowmounts.

Ummm have you even looked @ GT-SS turbos?

They only have Garrett markings on them, Garrett housings etc.

Fact. Ive seen them, i have them.

Either way, GT-SS are not affordable anymore with the yen the way it is.

-7's all the way. You don't need cams.

so it looks like im on the money then. :(

its currently got the N1's on it, with 20 psi of boost the car made 310kw at the rears. what sort of power should i expect to se out of the 2860-7's with similar or less boost?

a bit of a curley one i know but im just after a ball park figure. im hoping for about 350kw (bearing in mind im getting larger injectors done at the same time.). do you think im dreaming, and what size injectors should i go for?

cheers.

near enough to the same really, GT-SS make around 330rwkw or so.

Depends on the dyno more than anything.

The -5's (next step up) will make 350, but they are good for a bit more, but then you hurt response so thats where the question lies

it seems the that -7's are the go,

would 700cc injectors sufice, or would i need bigger?

also is it worth spending the extra money on cams as well, or will the good ol' standards do the job?

700cc is fine, and standard cams will work a treat ;)

NA - Not Applicable! :bunny:

As for you conrad... i suggest rather than buying really expensive STI parts to make your car something its not, just get the genuine article. or at least get a real car... you can only abuse an "STI enhanced" badge so much! :bunny:

Shepo - I would have brought an STi, but the bank was being a complete tightass that day!! And "Expensive" parts?? That's what I have you for!!! Full retail is for chumps... And who needs an STi motor... I have my SHARPIE TUNE to take care of that department!!!

But then again. Whose car is running...? Hmmmm?

Just thought i would update for those who may be interested.

im going ahead with the 2860-7 turbo's. also sard 800cc injectors (probrobly overkill, but better safe than sorry in my opinion.) and lastley getting a trust stainless steel intake piping kit.

once done, should be good for a bit more power. :P

will keep you all posted as things progress along. let me know your thoughts.

cheers,

matty.

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
