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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
