No hate today

BGCH

Sounds like a new party / rape drug

But congratulations :)

why 9000? its like saying pushing your turbo to 40psi. its a nice number but unnecessary if setup properly (for street and occasional track use)

congrats hamish. when you getting torago?

what turbo's did the car come with again fagmatron?

If it's GTSS' as my memory seems to be telling me then they might be a titch small for the 3.0

GT-SS

They'll be fine; it'll be a response monster

go with -5s.

the GTSS are perfect on mine, rb30 bottom end = run out of puff.

like you.

better order some of that nasal delivery shit. cocaine in a bottle.

Top end is for track cars and dyno queens

On the street the low and mid range is where it's at

Besides, I'd have no less top end than this RB26, which doesn't appear to be lacking

Just a much more linear and torquey low/mid; borderline naturally aspirated. Wouldn't please Grant.

Yes you can whack a huge turbo on an RB30, but to me that defeats the point of a displacement upgrade which usually done for a better low and mid range, especially when your enormous power exceed usability on the street - you end up sacrificing the extra response for power you never see touch the ground.

and yeah 3.0 sell em for -5s!

inb4 birds is already hypergear fanboi tho

also

hypergear hypergear hyperge..

grats hatish.

hibiki for you???

alvin pls.

give hibikis nao

it will be a response monster that's for sure, but i'd prefer a little more up top

TBH I would be able to lap faster in my old 33 than al's, and they were running virtually the same power and suspension setup, only difference was that 0.5l

I bought a pair of gt-ss off a bloke who plonked them in his 2.8 originally. He took it out cos it ran out of puff around 5-6k from memory.

If 3.0, just get -5s, will be responsive enough.

Yeah but Al's was RWD running 265 KU36s

AWD and some 265 R1Rs will clap dem cheeks

Can always change down the track if it sucks - retune and turbo swap. The GT-SS are worth more than the Garretts.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
