Hey N1GTR,

Yeah i've been reading through the 26 thread at the results, it is pretty useful but there isnt alot as far as GT-RS or T88 goes, Nismoid is right though, a t04z does indeed look pretty sexy...

I know what you mean about the debate though, single versus twins... Lol

400kw at 6K is a pretty mean figure, is that using a 3.0L , do the Rs's bolt up to the standard manifold ?

Cheers,

Mitch.

stock 15yo 120k bottom end

T517Z 10cm

Greddy intake and dump pipe work

260 pon cams

Apexi drag cooler

Pump 98

23psi of boost (it wouldnt make any more boost)

396.8rwkw (made 402.5 but a little too lean)

Hope it helps.

Im running -5 turbos on a rb 26 powered GTST making a claimed 380 RWKW with a built bottom end using standard cams and standard dump pipes. l have been a passenger in cars with around the same power using a big single and all l can say, compared to my setup they feel so much more faster and the power seems to never taper off. The only good option l can see with a twin setup like l have, is that it looks quite stock in appearance giving you less hassle with the cops. l know if was tossing up between low mount twins or a single again and what l know now and what l want the car for, l would take the big single.

It comes down to preference at the end of the day.

Single and twins can both be laggy and responsive. Just depends what you want to achieve from the motor.

Its a neverending argument :(

Main factors for the choice are:

Cost

Power level

And intended use.

Most of the time people just bolt turbos on just to see what power the engine can make and put no real thought or research into it. Then complain on a forum about why the engine is laggy or why they did not make their 'target' power goal.

On another note, we should get all these 400kw cars together for a cruise. Tony and Steve im talking to you :cheers:

mmmHHHmmm Dave...Now we are talking :)

Once my dogbox gets fixed, It will be a great idea for that cruise...

We Shall call it what..... Prob 'THE 400KW+ ROAD KINGS' LOLOL oh and for all to know i will be doing some extreme video's of mine launching and going through the gears big time!! :( Blowing the standard motor is my aim :P

this is some early footage of the T88 signal car i keep banging on about (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/T7...rd-t311305.html).

Car has had a few changes since but is the reigning time attack car in the US.... but see's most of its time in the drift series with a T04R.

Nytsky, slightly off topic - going from 365wkw with the GT3076R to 390wkw with the GT3582R.... which is your preferred setup?

Have not finished with the setup yet. So power level will increase soon.

For the street you cannot beat the 3076!

This is a great video, i have seen it many times...Love the gate lol

Many others will agree im sure :laugh:

Yep stock manifolds. Mine are on stock manifolds.

Also yes, 3L

In.

I just got back from Nasho, why not start at mine or Tonys (long way that is haha), then down to Waterfall and get on the Nasho, go over Seacliff bridge, up Bulli then the nice straight highway on the way back....?

Any further and us E85 guys will need a few jerry cans in the back hahaha

I've got an awesome video camera ...

can i have a drive of your car Steve ???

i'll let you drive my 235killa wasps :)

how do the RS's respond on a 2.6L compared to your 3L?

Lol, maybe :huh: Wait till the brakes are on it and the tune finished, then it will be much nicer

never had them on my 2.6, but in other gtr's with them on, I havnt been impressed-for all that lag they may aswel be a to4z

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
