I'd like to start with I'm in no way condoning street racing and simply asking for some opinions. So I'll start off with why I've made this thread. I'm trying to figure out if I have stock GTR turbos, I imported my 1991 GTR last year and was pretty much bone stock with 128,000km. It had the 100,000km done in Japan came only with Work Equips, St. May Jasma exhaust and thats it, even stock air box. The car now has 18x10 Work XD9 wheels, Tomei Titanium Exhaust and Apexi intakes. The car came with the stock boost restrictor in so I removed that also.

From what I've read a R32 GTR with exhaust, intake, boost restrictor out should make around 350 hp at the crank. I've raced multiple Subaru STI's of all years 2004, 2006, 2008 all with a cobb stage 2 kits and have beaten every one by at least 2 cars. I've raced a couple SR20s from a roll and it's also not even close. But recently I raced a friend with a 1998 BMW M3 with a stage 2 supercharger with dyno sheets showing 420 hp @ the crank so probably around 370 whp. From a dig it wasn't even close but from a 40 roll by 4th gear I was ahead by 2 cars and I had misfire.

So i tried to take off some pipng to see if i could find stamping on the turbos but it's damn near impossible to see anything. So i'm looking for opinions if you think there stock or upgraded. Feel free to say what cars you have raced with your basic bolt on GTR.

-> Speed off the Streets -> Wakefield or Winton

If the restrictor was still in it is a very high percentage that your Turbo's are stock.

- and with what you are doing wont be long before they blow the ceramic wheel off and/or you do a big end bearing)

Your first engine rebuild seems not too far away !

I see I've attracted some trolls. Sorry for being so basic but company's do offer "stages" although I probably shouldn't feed you, I clearly stated he has dyno sheets of his car and these numbers are not made up. Putting all that behind us it has a Active Autowerkes Stage 2 Supercharger kit(Rotrex C38-81 Supercharger)

I had a 99 E36 M3 evo manual with 255rwhp (catback, flash tune) and mate had a 33GTR with 246awhp - 14psi untuned, catback and intake.

GTR pulled on M3 by a little bit. On track of course...

Your mate with the supercharged M3 can't drive or is bs-ing.... Or your car is tuned at 14psi (1bar) and making 310-320rwhp.

Thanks for the reply, No markings on outside of ecu heres a couple pictures off the inside.

Stock gauge reads 1 bar

I'd say stock Garrett T28 Turbo's with restrictor removed.

Iv raced many comos with 400+hp and beat them with only 370-380hp turbo power is diffrent from v8 power

The difference between those power figures (400+hp Como VS 380hp GTR) are marginal, you would have bet them due the launch of the 4WD system and the low down response of the stock turbos.

And there might have been a weight difference between the cars (generally speaking, without knowing what both car set-ups are).

OP reads like he is in the US / Canada where the dynos read higher than here as well...

GTR would have edge over the average 400+ hp Commo purely based on AWD and the fact that GT-R owners don't tend to cheap out on tyres / useless big rims. Weight wise, if it's pre VE then it's almost the same.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
