hey guys a friend of mine is wanting some help on some info on turbo kits for his r33 gtr. he wants the most power he can get out of using the factory twin turbo positions using a recommended turbo kit. we have heard about the hks gt-rs kit which is rated at 700hp but was wondering if there was anything that was rated higher then that.

his engine went bang a month ago and is now in the process of building a n1 block with the OS Giken RB30 or RB315 kit with supporting mods. any other recommendations would be awesome in terms of modifications in handling the power.

thanks!

I call bs.

Regardless, GTRS kit is rated 700hp? Wrong, it's 800hp

Biggest factory bolt on turbos is 920hp from dash 10 garretts but the dump pipes may need to be fabbed up

if he really wanted to he could just go a t88 and be done with it but he is after a stealth looking engine bay.

and its not about "fitting" a couple of turbos. its more about which turbos will actually make the power exceeding 700hp if you read the description in my first post.

and yes he does have 50k+ waiting to be dropped on a new drive line (sequential box, front and rear diffs etc), fuel system, engine, the lot.

i think if anything wasn't the gt2871r-10 the same as a hks gt-rs anyway? pretty sure thats what he was looking at. he might have to settle with those.

I'm surprised that anyone spending that sort of money doesn't ring around the turbo places and see what they have to offer. Still, if you look at the garrett site you will see the dash 10 options. Choose from 800hp to 920hp. Not GTRS equals, they're bigger.

i guarantee you could get 1000+hp at the fly on E85 with over 3L's using low-mount turbs if you were prepared to do enough exhaust system modificaction

it's not like you couldn't make the turbos fit

Is the 920hp pair with the .64 rear housings? or bigger?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
