hey looking to upgrade my turbos on my rb26 what would be a good upgrade trying to spend as little as possable i have seen the n1s but been told not much more power than stock or if you are selling any let me know?

cheapest bet is to buy a rebuilt pair of stock gtr turbos with steel exhaust turbines - can be done for around the $1350 mark from a bloke in Melbourne I know. PM me if you want more details

-D

yeh a guy on ebay got n1 turbos with all gaskets for 1350 on ebay thinking that

thats a good deal... kits like that are pretty painless to fit (as far as turbo fitting goes that is), you might need to buy some new lines and studs maybe but once bolted up, all you should need to do is push more boost thru - do u have an EBC?

-D

Edit - incidentally, the N1's will give you that extra power, as they can be boosted past 14psi, right up to 20-25psi (not sure when they run out of puff)... stock gtr turbos are limited to 14psi and only produce 180-220kw safely... you'll easily make 300 with N1's, maybe a bit more... if you wanted more power tho, you'd need to consider 2860-5 turbos or some GT-SS/GT-RS - theyre very similar, it all depends on what is more important, a high dyno number or drivability and response

Would have to disagree with the above, Before purchasing mine I weighed up all the options between the -7 and -5 set up's and eventually went for the -7(N1) turbo's and was extremely happy with the result. The car made 314rwkw and came on boost like they were still standard turbo's (absolutely no lag). -5's won't make alot more power maybe 30-40rwkw but they will definetly increase lag unless your planning on running aftermarket cams etc etc.

If I understand it correctly the Garrett turbos relate to the following Nissan & HKS turbos:

2860-7 = Nissan R34 GTR N1 (although there are 3 different N1 models)

2860-9 = HKS GT-SS

2860-5 = HKS 2530

The HKS GT-RS are much bigger turbos and from what I have read on SAU you really need a stroker kit (JUN 2.7, HKS 2.8, OS Gikon 3.0) to avoid massive lag.

The following graph & chart may be a useful guide but are a few years old now.

Mine has made 326rwkw on N1s... but would say definitely save up and go garrett 2860- 5s

+1 for -5's

b/c u'll have room to get bigger kw down the track with supporting mods

without the need to upgrade bigger turbos

from memory gt-ss = -7's

twin gt3071r .64 on 3ltr bottom end :P

you're a baddy :P

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
