What's the max power you want out of them? Or just something equivalent to the stock setup with a little bit more punch?

dont really need much more power as im happy how it is

i would just like something steel wheeled

but any gain is welcome :spank:

For around 2k (for something new, obviously second hand opens up more choices), a set of garret 2530's or 2560's (-7) will do the job. Still very responsive and a nice power upgrade if that's all your after.

Yeah, i was going to say, if you could find for a set of HKS GT-SS turbo's or some N1 turbo's second hand that would be a good option.

The 2530/2560's are obviously going to make more power than your stock turbos, but no one is saying you have to push them hard, run them at low boost and it'll be similar to what you have with more power through out the rev range.

Horsepowerinabox or GCG have them for around a grand each. Or check the business traders section on here.

buy garrett instead of jap branded turbo kit as its cheaper and around ur budget mark and don't buy 2nd hand unless u desperate to stick to $2k

garrett 2860-7 is very close to stock response but increased power limit and can be had from sau sponsor for around $2600 along with gasket kits etc.. pretty much bolt-on to existing dumps

new garrretts are ~$1250ea, so you'll have to stretch that 2k (-9s/-7s are what you want there)

And then the little things, gaskets etc etc.

Then its going to cost 1k to have em swapped out.

you could grab a 2nd hand pair of R34 N1 turbos, they would be closer to 2k, but then not new. Near enough to garrett replacements :spank:

but for the extra $600 i'd go new hands down.

+1

You can do it on 2k if you buy second hand and the labour yourself but the cost to go new is not all that much higher.

N1's, 2860-7's or, GT-SS's is what you're after.

R31Nismoid: What are the -9's? They a direct stock replacement or something while the -7's are the GT-SS'ish equivalent?

Hey Jase, I've got my combo up and running if you want to come for a look see- 350hp capable turbos (ea) with pretty much stock response- can get them for about 1300 brand new each, they're custom jobs not available off the shelf.

Oh and they're an absolute direct replacement fit including the bosses on the compressor covers for oil and water line block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
