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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
