g'day,

i was thinking about buying a set of thease for my r32 gtr.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Garrett-GT2...sQ5fAccessories

my current turbos are gt2530 from what i was told by the car dealer i purchased the car off (very dodgy bloke/..)

i want to get the block bored to around 2.8L or even 3L, does anyone know if it could go that far ?

the only reason i want to bore the block is because the turbos will lag like mad rite ?

thease are the biggest twin turbo setup i can find..

i basically want to achieve around 600kw for my track car..

if anyone has had any experiance with thease turbos, or anyone that has a better opinion on what should do would be much appreciated.

I have not had any experience ( im poor i only own a gtst) but from what i have seen to get 2.8l you use a stroker kit and for 3.0l you use an rb30 bottom end, im guessing very little inside your motor will be left standard to achieve a reliable 600awkw so 3g+ on turbo's will be the least of your expense.

600rwkw or 600kw @ the fly?

Either way, it sounds like you need to do more reading mate.

If you think you can bore a GTR block out to 2800cc total you're already showing a little lack of knowledge... let alone needing 600kw in a track car.

Also turbos having mad lag, another giveaway perhaps more homework needed.

What is the budget?

What are the current mods?

What are your current lap times?

What lap times are you after?

Hmm that horsepower level will cost around the $50K minimum. I would suggest a more realistic power level is what is required.

Those turbos are tiny for the power you want, A/R .64? Please.

For 600kw at the wheels you're looking at some serious horsepower, and a built engine, you'll have to fortify the top end with various JUN / Tomei / Whatever parts and maybe even the bottom end depending on what you're going to be using all that power for. Remember you have an RB26 not a 2JZ lol.

Secondly I wouldn't buy my turbos off ebay, I'd buy from a registered Garret dealer where you have things like warranty.

If I wanted 600awkw from an RB26 I'd get 2 GT35R's with .82 rear housings from a registered Garret dealer, like Horsepower In A Box.

Then I'd find a workshop willing to tune such an animal and an ECU that would be reliable at that level of power, you're going to need a custom fuel setup, at least a 2.5L surge using something like a Carter Gold lifter pump and 2 x Bosch 044's with return lines.

I wouldn't bother trying to bore out your engine to a massive 2.8L, is that even possible? Instead you could purchase a stroker kit.

This is all going to cost big dollars, I wouldn't undergo this project unless you had at least $25k and a workshop that you could trust.

that is stupid. 35Rs will flow over 400kw atw EACH. the lag on that sort of setup would be stupendous.

HKS GT-RS's will make the power you are talking about. Lag will be an issue and will require a lot of money & time to try and negate. If you don't know what your doing and havent done much track work before (assuming this based on your post) then start off small and work your way up. You will lap faster in a responsive 400hp gtr than in your 700-800hp setup with lag and traction issues.

well 600kw @ the fly is still what, 500rwkw give/take?

Well considering he said 500-600kw i would be thinking 400-500rwkw which is "achievable" more so than 600rwkw.

If you wanted something "fairly responsive" (hell i dont call anything with that kind of power on a RB responsive but whatever) with that kind of power i'd be looking at something along the lines of a 30/26 with twin GT-RS's.

But as has been said, why so much power? I'd be looking at lower power levels but be concentrating on response.

hioctane have demonstrated that a 26/30 with 2860-5's makes for a very quick combo.

with a hollinger...

and special diffs...

and an endless budget...

realisticly you should budget atleast 70k to do it properly with a box and diffs etc and thats not including labour from a workshop

It is not stupid it's a solution that I know of several drag cars running 800-900rwhp at only 20psi.

Remember the OP never stated what he wanted so much power for.

Does he want a responsive track car? a dyno queen? highway warrior? something that runs 10's?

More information needs to be posted.

All we receieved was an ebay link and an "I want this much power"

How long is a piece of string? etc...

I think 600Kw at the crank let alone the wheels is an unrealistic goal to have in the first place .

If you want to have a usable rev range with that sort of output I think even 3 litres (200 odd Cu ?) is a bit lacking .

Having telephone number outputs is one thing and being able to do something useful with it , let alone affording it , is another .

I don't think 600 hp at the crankshaft is unrealistic in a track RB30 but I don't think it'd be a nice drive on the street .

A while back it was mentioned to me by possibly SK that RB30's can be stroked usefully to about 3.2-3.3L and compared to some of the zillion dollar mods people do at times it may not be as expensive ($/Kw) as many think .

Std bore/stroke RB26's revved to 11 may be one thing but the budget must be horrendous .

IMO need more cubes , do any of the later 3.5L V6's have any hope of going into an R32/3/4 ?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
