Can I please just say that they're not "t51's"... They're "T517z"....

It's kinda like saying I'm buying some HKS GT253's for my car :Oops: :( :(

Yeh first time i read...

Anyone gone from GTSS's to T51's ????

I scratched my head and giggled i hope they are at least Kai versions...then it was like, oh yeh you mean T517z :D

I agree with Roy, most of the dead turbos we see have turbine and/or compressor damage. Very few have core damage and most of those are plain bearing cores.

It's a self fullfilling prophecy.............

plain bearings cores need rebuilding more often

so

they are cheaper to rebuild.

Yes, translated for those in metric land 278 KW's !... and watch this space, more to come yet !

jezzrrr, my car is currently making almost the same power (273 rwkw) with standard turbos. I reckon there will be more to come as well :P

I have Trust T517z's on my 32 GTR. They are a little laggy but when they come on (around 3800 - 3900 rpm) they are on to stay. A set of cams and cam gears, get it on boost a little earlier and no worries. Most of you may think this a little silly but 342kw on 24psi, at the rear wheels on stock internals I feel is not a bad effort. The only hickup which has just recently happened after about 1 1/2 years of running these turbos is 1 of the air flow meters let go.

Time to upgrade to z32's. For those of you who are interested the upgrades to date are the following:

Power FC

AVCR

HKS Fuel Pump

HKS 680cc Injectors

Turbosmart Fuel Reg

Apexi Pod Filters

Trust T517z's (8cm Housings)

Twin stainless split dumps

Nismo Exhaust

Trust FMC

plus the usual gauges, seats, steering wheel, rims, suspension upgrades etc. Mods to follow in the very near future are Z32 AFM's, Splitfire coil packs, cams and cam gears. Then start saving again for rebuilt motor.

So are the t517z below GTSS and 2530s?

Also, do they fit on standard dumps and manifolds?

No T517z are in the middle, depending on housing choice will dictate how far to which side of "middle".

To note they are bush bearing, and I've seen JAGR33's car go from 517's to -5s

Same power, better response all over.

There is a 517 graph on the the "dyno comparo" i posted a few months back.

Nismoid, how do I work out which housing the t517zs I'm looking at have?

What do I measure?

Would the 8cm or 10cm be better for a stock internal rb26?

Go the 8cm, less lag. The 10cm would suit a 30 bottom end....

yes but considering T517Z's are $1000 on ebay brand new, it's something to look at $ wise.

iv'e owned stock GTR turbo's and won't voluntarily again.

There is no way your going to get a new trust T517Z kit for $1k....

I have 10cm's... but I'd suggest 8's for street work and/or stock engine.

Blue32 made 427kw with T517z's (8cm2) on PULP and is making over 450kw (actual power not known as the tyres are spinning on the dyno) on E85.

Yeah right...

I nosed over 400rwkw with my 10cm's.... and that was pushing them as hard as they would go. An honest 430rwkw on 8cm's..... hmm

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
