I cannot give specifics, yet a friend with an R34 GTR seemed to get very mediocre results from them.. As do the evo community.

Personally I would stick to the known road with this car, RB26 has been done to death.

bought them off an american site paid 2950 included post full kit....\

um i also just bought and getting fitted

700 cc sard injectors

tomei full pump

apexi djetro ecu getting rid of air sensors coz there on there way out just a cheaper solution...

hks cam gears

tomei pon cams type B

full custom 3.5 inch exhaust

tomei bellbouth dumps

nismo fuel reg

standard internals

fair standard upgrades needed for the turbos recommended by tomei on their site...

theres a standard r34 gtr in japan with standard internals just these basic upgrades that are needed pushing 500hp with these turbos

did u have to pay any import taxes/ duty? what was the site?

I'm planning on using this kit along with vipec engine managment , 700cc sard injectors, tomei steel head gasket & walbro 255 fuesl pump!

between 400-500 awhp would be nice, not too fussed with numbers, as long as it will run a mid 12 on street tyres & i'll be happy!!!

U got ur turbos yet? mine are in the post somewhere between here & there lol

Edited by tufftruckin

should do that easily. a stock GTR with just exhaust, boost and a tune (250kw) will run low 12s on stock turbos. stagea is a bit heavier but with aftermarket turbos it should be more like low 12s or 11s.

id have to agree with GTScotT, i remember one gtr with twin tomei turbos and it looked horribly laggy (5.5k) for the 350kw or so it made!! they were done to death on evos and know all evo owners shy away from them, one sr i saw with tomei arms had a similarly laggy poor result. id stick with the tried and tested garretts imo

should have gone hks for that money

what makes hks any better?

no one on here soo far has actually seen this particular kit in action,

maybe tomei's figured out their previous kit wasn't soo flash, so they went on to developed this improved model!

will soon find out if I bought a dud once they are all fitted and tuned!

tomei just revised their range these turbos came out march this year meant to be on boost buy 4- 4500 rpm so with some good cams and cam gears and a good tune hopefully see good results will soon see next week..

never know if you dont give it a go i guess

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
