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'

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
