The T62R weighs nothing compared to a similar turbo from garret. That's why HKS charged the arse out of them when they went of sale. Its 8kgs lighter than the T88-38GK we were originally gonna run.

That is weight, not size. Always thought (still can't see any reason not to think really) that buying a GT4508R with a TiAL SS VBand turbine housing would be basically the same thing?! Changing that housing from the filthy big industrial thing that comes from Garrett is meant to reduce the overall turbo weight by about 33pc apparently.

T88 is a totally different turbo from a totally different manufacturer, glad you didn't go there!

Yeah i'm really glad we never ran with the T88-38GK, the T62R is an awesome turbo still have not found the limit on it yet so looking forward to when it finally peaks out at.

I read that the Tial SS housing were considerably lighter as well, i was going to run there rear housing on my SR20 when i decide what turbo I am running, my exhaust manifold has the 3 Tial V-Band on it. Those big monster Garrets require a massive beefy manifolds to support them other wise the start cracking the old stainless one e.g Trust manifold I am currently running.

You're not taking into consideration the weight of the 6-pot caliper/355mm rotor fronts & 4-pot caliper/320mm rotor rears! ;)

R32 GTRs are A LOT lighter than R34 GTRs... We are unable to run smaller than 20" rims on NITTO due to the massive brakes. We cannot put 20" semis on it either as they simply won't clear the rear guards (not keen on damaging the House of Kolor paint!)

Ive got 380mm alcons sitting behind 18" ame tm02s?

And i just found out my 375 x 36mm alcon rotors on le mans daytona prototype monoblock billet alcon 6pots sit behind 17" TE37's.

355s with 20" rims, you should be able to fit a small child between the caliper and rim.

its another excuse to why it didnt perform after all the hype that they put on it

With all the massive power being made, I think it's time for a 500+kw(wheels) to see what has been tried and tested, and to compare combinations, similar to the 400kw thread.

List as much of your mods as you wish as the more info the better: engine, turbo,cams, boost etc etc

I will start:

RB26 stock block

Apexi SPL V-Max 73.7mm billet crank

Apexi SPL V-Max rods

HKS Step 3 87mm with 22mm pins

Apexi SPL V-Max 290 11.5mm cams

Apexi SPL V-Max Springs, retainers & lifters

Supertech +1mm valves

9.0:1 CR

HKS twin GT3240 + twin gates turbo kit

Trust sump (modified)

External single stage Moroso oil pump (wet)

Apexi SPL V-Max Drag intercooler (150mm)

3" dumps > single 85mm exhaust

Microtech LT12S

3 x 044's + large surge tank

6 x Bosch Indy Blues

Caltex E85

520rwkw on 22psi on a very safe tune, no cam timing, and low rev limit.

Plenty more in it with more tuning, boost, revs and cam timing, but this will do for now.

any more updates on this setup

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
