Depends where you get them from.. about 4.5g to 5g AUD for brand new 2 x gt-rs. I would assume similar price for hks twin 2530/2540. :) Works out almost the same price if you order two garrett gt25 thats rated to 400hp with similar a/r housings... :)

That's right, for 300kw at the wheels you will need the following.

Bigger turbos say 2540's, power fc, cam gears, injectors, rail, pump, regulator, exhaust, bigger cooler & probably suggest some coils and a bloody good tuner. You can pretty well get to 270kw at the wheels with out doing the fuel system but again you need a good tuner. Bottom line is you need money.:uh-huh:

Ive got an R32 GTR with 2530's and power fc (and avc-r) and my god it flys, as you probably should be able to tell by my smashed gearbox and clutch :rolleyes: (quarter mile attempt #1 gone wrong)

The car made 309kw on a dynopak dyno, so this is around the 280-290kw mark at all wheels. It was a pretty good tune I guess now (in hindsight), car never detonated, but I was frequently getting warnings from the Power FC that the injector duty cycle was 90%+ when I was full throttle coming upto 7000rpm. My advice would be;

Power FC, HKS 2530/GT-RS, HKS adjustable cam gears, new fuel pump, new injectors and if youre budget can stretch it, a HKS step 1 (256 degree) exhaust camshaft... the exhaust camshaft makes quite a large power difference, and on a similar setup to my car previously, would make 50kw more at the wheels than the best I could do.

did you use the standard exhaust and cooler ?

Hmmmmm. 300 rwkw cheaply...

I would go for a pair of N1 turbos (or standard turbos with N1 internals) around $2200. Bolt straight up, saves heaps on pipework and fittings.

Pair of split dump pipes say $700.

3" engine pipes and 3.5" exhaust $900.

Bosch 044 motorsport fuel pump $400.

Adjustable Sard fuel pressure regulator $350

Standard injectors OK, with 10% overdrive using higher fuel pressure.

Used set of HKS 264 cams say $800

Standard intercooler OK

That totals around $5500 plus fitting (if you can't do it yourself) and tuning. Sounds about right.

It would have good average power as well, not just a peeky 300 rwkw at one single rpm point.

Hope that helps

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
