Have a read of this: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/368988-tomei-arms-m7655-on-rb26/

Long story short: More expensive than the tried and tried again garrett bolt ons (comparison to -5's seems like mostly) except laggier.

Here's the dyno graph of that guys run:

How much power do you want and is this just for a street car? -7's might be a bit too small, they are the standard bnr34 n1 turbo. -9's would be better for an all rounder and still a decent upgrade.

-9's don't come with actuators standard though so you'd need to grab some with them, also a couple of the coolant fittings don't fit without modification so you can buy ones that fit for ~$70 extra.

Why do you want to divert from turbos that have been tested and given good results multiple times to turbos you don't know anything about?

If it's a street car just get -9s and be done with it, almost everyone else will say the same thing :P

No worries, you should have a read of the following thread btw: http://www.skylinesa...rett-gt2860-9s/

Has heaps of examples, tells you everything you need to know about these turbos and other similar options and why you shouldn't go for other turbos.

Yes it's a long thread, but you'll be fully educated and won't have second thoughts after buying them :)

-5's are a bigger turbo, -7's are the smallest (~270-300atw?), then -9s a bit bigger (~310-330atw?), then -5s (~350-400atw) which will be laggy on a 2.6 and no good for street driving.

Don't quote me on the figures those are just estimates, for them you of course need all of the supporting mods. Have a read of that thread I linked you and it will answer all of your questions.

Stock turbos on any gtr (except the n1's) have ceramic wheels which can't take much boost, and they are fairly small anyway. All of the above are steel wheel and bigger turbos, they can take a fair amount of boost.

Just keep in mind that your engine is around or possibly even over 20 years old along with the turbos, those things have had a long life and you'd need to replace a lot to get a reliable and powerful result.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
