So i found this kit, its the turbo im after, i havent been able to come across any others of recent (maybe not lookin in the right place) so just curious if this price is good, and is it a relitivaly hard job to do? i no doing the dump pipe will be abit tricky and all the other piping, but is there anything other obsticles that might get in the way while i have a shot??

I'd be a bit cautious buying that...

I'd contact Kyle from 6Boost

Turbo - 1600

Gate 44mm Tial - 600

Plus go for a 6 boost manifold you can get it for 1000 or just get a chineese mani for about 300

You don't wanna get a cheap wastegate - if it fails can be devistating...

Edited by axe s

Helped a mate to fit one of their manifold. The bolt pattern to the engine head is wrong. had to slot 2x bolt wholes 5mms cross to make it fit. The manifold to engine flange is also bent which had to be machined. Seller is very unhelpful, he's fully aware of those problems and did not mention it on his ad. So's Flyns, same shit. The only thing that is good in this kit is the turbo, that is assume its not a copied Garrett.

too exe anyway, be better off with what axe s says or troll the for sale section on here.

I know this one is sold, but its an example of what you can buy http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...rt-t293148.html

Also, forget all the shiny bits, they only stay that way until your first drive, then they start to tarnish and colour up, so a near new s/h one is worth a look.

Good turbo choice but get one from GCG and get a Tial 44 mm external gate not a 38 and get the 0.83 turbine hsg and get it ceramic coated and get a 6 boost manifold of Kyle and get it ceramic coated also.

Going with such a large turbo on a std engine it might be worth getting a set of HKS 256 and 264 cams to help the engine out nd be prepared for more lag the car will be heaps different to drive around town.

Unless you are willing to spend 7-8 K and get it done correctly then do not attempt it, you will regret it when it gets defected and you are getting smoked by people with HKS 2835 Pro S and HKS GTss bolt ons.

A GTss Kit is a pinch of piss to install and without cams but including all the other supporting hard ware you will get 250 RWKW with std response and by looking at the engine you will not even know you are packing heat. But if you want a bit more power than go the HKS 2835 Pro S and get some cams and you will easily get around the 280 rwkws, fun times.

Happy hunting.

those manifolds are pure CRAP i brought one an it didnt bolt up at all.. it hit against the casting ribs down the side.. took like a month to make the B**STURD refund my money to.. highly advised DONT BUY ONE

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
