The main thing about the ones i have are they sit in the stock position and being from SA where they enjoy defecting everything that's wha really appealed to me. Although it won't be a daily driven car and iv been pulled over more in my stock vs commondore than i have in the skyline.

The main thing about the ones i have are they sit in the stock position and being from SA where they enjoy defecting everything that's wha really appealed to me. Although it won't be a daily driven car and iv been pulled over more in my stock vs commondore than i have in the skyline.

that's a fair concern,

Both -5's

and GT-RS sit in stock position as do a myriad of other high powered twin setups.

there is definitely a pair to accommodate your power needs.

Ye just get -5s like everyone else. About your only option mate if low mounts/defects is the main concern, especially if its a street car.

Factory size, Garrett housing, everything bolts up and you'll make 370-400rwkw depending on the motor.

Yea the bottom end has the works. All except extended sump. But has a baffle kit in. Got forged pistons, rods bearing what ever else i got in the build. It was a head gasket down build. As nothing was done with the head except for a face pressure test and what ever else they did to it. As at the time i was un certain of the direction of the car!

Bottom end done as in... A 'typical' bottom end, or one built to take 9000rpm+

Big big difference between the two!

There is a place, where nobody dared to go, and It isn't called Xanadu, its called GT-RS on a 2.6 litre for a street car.

Olivia newton John will not bring your response back to you on roller blades.

Agree with Ash 100% althought I think you could possibly make a tad more then 400rwkw.

Yep, -5s all the way

We built a car while i was working at Advan Performance that ran -5's with a healthy head and sensible cams and on about 24psi of boost made about 450rwkw on BP Ultimate. Thats more power than you will ever need on the street and also a very healthy power figure for the track.

Using these you wont need to worry about defects, you wont need to build a bottom end capable of 9500rpm and you will get much better response than you could ever dream of getting with the 2835's.

Was that on a stroker motor? What a Awsome result... Providing it is not a happy dyno. Wouldn't happen to have that graph by any chance?

The 2835's that i have do sit in the stock position. They are internally gated version.

So? (im confused...)

You don't have the motor to support them... Why use em?

Get something that will suit the setup is what you should be aiming for.

End of the day everyone is saying the same thing and pick turbos suited to the application, but it seems you still want to put 2835s on... So i guess go with that.

When i first brought them i didn't realise they were such a serious option. Defect aside iv wanted to build a car with a big single. Well a decent sized single. Then these came up. So i grabbed them. If i sell them off ill probably look at the t04z option again if there is going to be less hassle chasing good power. I'm just trying to weigh up the odds. Do i sell them off and start putting together a single. Or keep them work with what i have and spend coin in the areas to achieve a decent power from these. Like working on the head fuel system and drive line which ill have to do anyways with either option. That'll most likely be a pig to drive but once its rolling its gonna be scary.

Ill re phrase it. Everything aside. Which turbo set up is going to perform better with minimal head work? And be more streetable. Basically if i gave the keys to my mum and said take it for a strap what would she be best suited to drive

like I said before...neither the T04Z or the 2835s are going to be street friendly on a 2.6 no matter what you do to the head/Cams

Are you going to take the car to the Strip?

If not than get a pair of -9's/GT-SS'

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
