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.

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
