hi all recently bought 1990 gtr awesome car but want some upgrades in coming months so decided to buy parts on ebay on monthly basis as bank said no to loan :(

im thinking of gtr s hks turbos as they direct bolt on and atm aiming for 11 sec car but if change my mind will they go into 10 sec bracket? same goes for 700cc injectors?

im thinking of low boost atm as cant afford to rebuild botom end and replace oil pump etc..

GTRS is too big - you really want to look at increasing capacity to use them, on a 2.6litre you would need to rebuild the engine to run enough boost to get anything out of them.

GTSS (Garrett -9's) will see you to the limits for an unopened engine. These will be ok with standard injectors and AFM's.

Not sure about drag times.

its bit embarasing to enter with gtr to run high 13s huh

Nothing like public humiliation to motivate spending and upgrading then. The drags in a manual are still technique dependant.

That ebay price is very steep. Pair of turbos + postage is $2,860 (couldn't tell if they were -5, -7 or -9)

By them from Kudos motorsports, he seems to have the best prices and best service in my opinion.

If your in sydney I have a pair of brand new in the box 2860-5's that I'll part with for a bit of a discount on new price.

You can run 11's on the factory turbos.

If you do not have a spare 20k, then FORGET buying GT-RS.

They are a 450rwkw+ turbo combination, which requires a myriad of parts to back them up.

but can stil use them in stock aplication for few months? on low boost with upgraded injectors and aftermarket ecu?

im beeing sucked by my mechanic into ems buti think haltech could be better then ems or apexi?

Wait, you dont want lag but you want a pair of GTRS turbos??

Sure they will let the car run, but yeah, as Ash said, need massive amounts of headwork, careful cam selection and spin to 9500rpm etc etc, otherwise they are a dog of a turbo on a 2.6

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
