Hey guys I've done a little bit of research as soon enough my engine build will start to take place.

I've got an R32 GTR with standard running gear with a bigger intercooler that came with the car and an exhaust system (cat back).

As I use it on the street (not everyday) I don't want huge power but I want it to go hard. I have read up on some twin turbo kits by Garrett such as GT28's and HKS 2530's. I'm not sure what is better/more efficiant for my build to go single or twin turbo.

First things I aim to do are upgrade the entire exhaust system, bigger injectors, computer ECU setup, cams and some other necessary odds and ends.

So I guess I'm asking for suggestions and personal experiences on either, single or twin turbo setups; and what size to run with the setup I plan on doing.

Any input would be muchly appreciated. (Y)

Agreed.

First thing have a look through the dyno thread and see what power figures people are making and decide what power figure you want. Then start researching what turbos make that power figure most effectively and what additional parts are required. Do the math on the costs and see how you go.

Hope you're ready to spend some coin.

Taking a stock gtr, and building the motor, then upgrading all the other systems to handle a reliable amount of power to make it feel like it goes hard will cost at least $20k.

It's definatly a choice you've got to really make seriously.

As Ash said there's heaps of info on the forums, spend some time having a look around, good luck with it :nyaanyaa:

Depends on what your goal is...

Circuit, Street, Drag...

If you want to join the RH9 Club then go Single. (Drag)

But if it was me, I am all about Response / Balance.

Twin Low Mounts would suite me fine on street and circuit.

All the mods you listed you will need to do if you are going to go a head with the turbo upgrade.

Depending what you want to determine your turbo setup.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
