Hi guys To cut the story short, I got told the R32 GTR I bought had Nismo turbo's, so had some work done thinking they were steel wheel turbo's.

Had a bit of work done at the shop.. Power FC, boost controller, cam gears, injectors, pump, 302 awkw @ 19psi. 2 weeks later.. Big Bang under boost... white smoke etc... and I found out they ended up being the stock r32 gtr ceramic ones. :\ Not happy as you can imagine...

Just had some brand new 2860 -5's Garrett's fitted up over the last week $, and was wondering does it need to be completely re-mapped again? or just a quick re-map on the dyno. Or Is it safe to even drive or give it some stick? Appreciate your advice. Cheers

Of course, as the amount of air ingested will change drastically across the rev range not to mention there would be less exhaust restriction to dial in more timing.

In saying that, safe to drive provided you don't hit +ve manifold pressure.

.7 bar is the lowest out of the 4 boost settings on the controller that the tuners set up. Sounds like I'll just put it on that and baby it back to them.

Still have standard AFMs so prob make still around the 300ish. But if I get some z32/nismos I've read up these -5s can do 340+ awkw? 19-20psi would be the most I'd run 

 

^^^On a built engine, with all the rest of the car up to scratch yes, if they're bolted onto an otherwise pretty stock GTR (so excluding exhaust, ecu, pod filters) they'll give a crap result compared to the guys with all the right parts and the same turbos :)

Agreed. For some reason everyone latelythinks -5's will give them 380 + kw on a stockish 2.6L. Have a look through the dyno results thread, there are very few that have done this. Most are around 350 and under, and thats with cams etc

On topic though yes you will need a tune

yea I thought about the -9's for that little more response, but selling the car soon, and the workshop already had these on the shelf. Im sure I will still be happy with the -5's as it will be a improvement over the stock ceramics. Still can't believe I ran 20psi through them.. was lucky they only let go and not back through the motor..

Motor was fully rebuilt 3000km ago. Built to N1 spec, N1 pistons, oil pump, etc etc. so by all means no fully forged motor.. Still okay for 20psi though.

As much as i dont want to say this u cant be certain no ceramic dust has gone back through the motor but u may be lucky.

Xcalaba has run big boost on stock ceramic turbo's for a long time. No one is sure how- i think he is using witch magic :P

I hope im lucky.. thats the last thing I need... :( The car still idled and drove completely fine when not putting it under boost after it let go.

Car Has no Cat on it, and I was giving it boot when it went bang. So im hoping it just blew out the back. (the rear turbo exhaust wheel went.) For piece of mind I will do a compression test to just be sure.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
