On different setups, I ran the GTX2860's with the stock anti surge front housings with welded on flanges in my 2.8. In short they come on boost later than a 2860-5. They are quieter though

he modified the gtx housings to fit the Gtr

Yes married Thursday

I'M back again with more news... mechanic told me my oil seal is leaking and if i dont change it, turbos will need rebuild. Since I'm not doing any mechanic on my car, i thought.. if im going to pay labour $ to have my seal/gasket redone, I might as well check my turbo and swap them with brand new turbos to recover optimal performance of the car.

I found out about a company called Pure turbos..

They ask 1100$ to have both turbos rebuilt with new brass cage and new billet wheel. ( they say it will be as good as brand new turbos , if not better due to brass cage and billet wheel)

Now heres where i need your help... they offer me a 60mm billet wheel which should yeild a 40hp/per turbo upgrade ( probably taken from the gtx2860's figure) and a 63mm which would yeild 80hp/per turbo. They say turbo spool shouldn't be noticeable and if it was their engine, they would go 63mm.

I'm scared the 63mm will actually be too laggy and i have doubt about their claims on spool. if I had 2.8 stroker.. it would be a different story, but I'm only on a rb26 with 86.5mm.

What front compressor housing are you using, normal -5 or surge slotted? You will be more at risk of compressor surge with a bigger compressor wheel.

-5s housing !

Considering you only wanted 500-550 Whp, it's a not brainer. 60 MM wheel!

I also feel the same.. but you know.. if the lag is going to be 200ish rpm and your gaining an extra 40hp/turbo.. it's interesting lol.

200 rpm is heaps!!!!

Very true, people don't seem to understand what a few hundred rpm can do to a car...

My T88 on dyno was only 500rpm (ish) slower to get 15psi on the dyno compared to the 6262, on the road/track it went from being horribly laggy to very responsive

^^ *like*.

Micko's old man changed his exhaust and went back to a stock airbox on his GTR. Overlay the graphs and it was 200 rpm everywhere. TOTALLY different car to drive. It went from a car which did nothing under 5000 rpm to be able to drive it quickly quite easily.

60mm. Do it. Don't forget you have a 2.6 too. A bigger engine you'd get away with it.

Some open pods. Mmmm all that yummy hot air!

It was a 33 though. Different design to a 32 box.

I know I'd make more power going back to an air box but I'd never thought about earlier spool as I wouldn't have thought it would have made a difference.

I'm pretty sure I'd still be fine with a standard box at 325kw.

The whole shebang coming on earlier was more to do with sorting the pos "jap" exhaust out. Getting rid of the rubbish restrictive mufflers and mismatched pipes. Going back to the airbox was just something he did at the same time.

Yep picked up 15-20kw throughout the midrange to redline. Was a night and day difference really was much nicer to drive and also made power feel more progressive not just a BANG & it was alive at 5000rpm :)

There are times I've seen NO difference in spool on the dyno and still a very noticeable difference in practical use - dynos can be quite misleading at times!

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
