I'm currently doing a single turbo conversion on my GTR with a 6262. What have people done with the water lines since these turbos don't need them?? I'm trying to figure out best solution.

So the one coming from behind the head connected to the one from the front?? I'm a bit lost here not much info out there.

How about the one on the block down the bottom, just block that one off?

Mate finally bit the bullet and is ditching his GT3076R for a 5858 on his R34 Gt-t, was making a touch under 500 before so I'm guessing it will bump up to around 550 with not too much more lag

Went in for a tune last night. 525rwhp on 1.4bar and 555hp on 1.6bar before it started having valve spring issues top end. Higher boost looked like it was heading just under 600hp with 1.8bar.

Boost comes on around the same as the 3076R but makes a bit more power earlier (200rpm in lower range when ramping boost) and makes an extra 70-90hp on the same boost through the mid range and top end. Overlay with the T67 on my old green car and they were very similar but the 5858 will smash it with the valve springs sorted and some more boost.

Forgot to get a graph printed (will get one when valve springs are done) but it's probably the best mid size turbo I've seen on a RB25

TLDR; Comes on earlier and makes shit loads more power than a GT3076R

Awesome results. I thought the 5858 would be laggier then the 3076 by miles and that the 5558 would be a closer match. Apparently not!

Im guessing .82 rear? BB version?

Technically boost builds a little slower on the 5858 but I guess it's flowing a bit more air so more power down low. Owner says it feels better low down on the road than the GT3076R as well

Yes and yes to the other questions

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
