Looks like a T2. Watch out for the rods in the VQs. Apparently they start to struggle at 500hp+. That seems to be one of the major issues people face with big hp VQs.

orly? Please tell me what you know?

Looks like a T2. Watch out for the rods in the VQs. Apparently they start to struggle at 500hp+. That seems to be one of the major issues people face with big hp VQs.

The rods themselves aren't the issue so much as the rod bolts. They start to stretch once you get near that 400rwhp barrier. But a lot does depend on how hard you are spinning the motor. Apparently Nissan improved the rod bolts in the later model motors, but hey, the motor is apart why not upgrade??

The rods are actually thicker not just the bolts in the HR... the rods a puny and should be upgraded.

So what turbos are compatible with the HKS 3037 rear housing or would you need to upgrade both ? I havnt fitted mine but my engine is being machined this week ready to be full forged built for 600HP, 3037 only get 400-430 so any ideas for upgrade to get 500 ?

Yup. Get Scotty to make you up a new adaptor for the cross over/gate in t3 and get a gt3582 with 1.02 hosing in there

Any ideas on where to get best price for that ? Why adapter needed for the cross over gate? you cant get them in that size? Scotty what price u thinking of to adapt? Honestly u guys reckon 400-420 is not good enough? thats 2x what i got now..

It's all up to you mate! I'm quite happy with what I'm running on the stock block. You might as well strap on what comes with the kit, and just turn it up to max boost. A built motor will take it no worries. Get used to driving that. It's quite a big difference! Probably good to run the motor in with tha too.

The adaptor is a bespoke part of the kit. You'll need something made up to link the manifolds, pipe to the ext gate, and the turbine housing, in a bigger, more free flowing design. It's not an off the shelf part!

Honestly, with a gt3582 think it would be pretty scary! But I'm a massive pussy. I like going round corners too, not just planting it In a straight line.

    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
    • Is there an actual website thingie for peoples who don't have Facebooks? Cheers
