Nitto rods just for a GT3076?

Sorry to :laugh: but that's just ridiculous wasting of money when many people are making 650hp on GTR rods day in, day out.

Given you and your "engine builder" already reckon you'll make more than 400hp, that would mean you've already already chosen a turbo?

nitto rods aren't much dearer. $650 for nitto h beams from hi octane. $620 for spool h beams. Do the standard 26 rods need prepping at all?

Resizing if using arp bolts? How much would this cost to be done, plus the cost to buy the 26 rods? Could work out around the same in the end.

Thanks mate

Don't see what the big Whoha is about buying a set of nitto rods, do it right the first time isn't it? The guy above is right my nitto rods cost me $630 I'm not going on a budget build to have shit break or fail.... 400+hp is just a rough figure... I'm not in it to make a huge amount of power, if the power gets up there then that's a bonus, I don't want too much lag...

R31nismoid I asked a question on what turbo to get for what I want not for what rods I'm using, as been said 400+hp is just a figure was I will be aiming for the max hp I can get with my setup, I don't mind spending $630 on nitto rods if they are hell alot stronger then a set of used rb26 rods and in conjunksion with that I thank everyone for there input with running the rb26 yeah it would of been a "cheaper" option but you pay for what you get I guess

The turbo that was going to go on it was a gt3540,

I just wanted to see what others input was on what turbo to run

GT3540 is 4500rpm on a well sorted motor.

GT3076 all day for your power goal. Awesome things they are!

"Fullboost" ARGH. Is that 5 psi or 55psi??????

Lol, good call.

I consider full boost on my car as the limit which the turbo will not create boost past because of the spring tension I have chosen to put in my waste gate.

Go the GT3076 - 3540 is too big for the RB25 - pretty sure it won't low mount whereas 3076 will fit with 10mm spacer. GT3076 is good for 300kw on 98 330kw on E85 and much more responsive on a 25 than the 3540. In fact people have had realy good results with the 3076 on an RB30/25.

Woudn't have matter what you chose....I would like to see you break a spool rod with any of the turbos mentioned,

lol, theres vl turbos running very low 8's with them...

cheers

Yes the 3540 will low mount..lol, they fit on stageas ffs..and they are the worst of the Nissan bunch to try fit turbos on stock manis'..., plus none of stao hypergears would fit stock manifold otherwise seeing as G3 etc is same size and comp cover as 3540 ....

cheers

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
