No doubt this question has been asked on here a few times and I apologise for asking again but i could do with everyones opinion on this.

I have a 34 GTR with a few mods to it and plan to do more.

It has CP forged pistons, ACL race bearings,Manley i-beam forged rods,n1 oil and water pump,tomei head gasket,twin 3inch,greddy t517zr turbos,HKS dump pipes,nismo cooler,nismo oil cooler,nismo 660cc injectors,nismo fuel regulator,greddy radiator,apexi filters,apexi ECU,nismo coppermix twin plate clutch.

On 15PSI its making just over 300KW.

I want to get around the 400-450kw mark. Its strictly a street car and I want it to be responsive from the get go.The greddy turbos on there dont really spool up til around 4000rpm..it has alot of top end power but down low its abit laggy.

I plan on doing more work too it...tomei cams,greddy cam gears,haltech ecu,bigger injectors,e85,greddy manifold and intercooler piping,tomei manifolds,tomei oil pump and baffle kit and bigger turbos,more boost etc

Here lies the dilemma of what low mount turbos to go with??

Reason im staying with low mounts is the rules here in SA are bullshit and they will pick on anything they can hence why i dont want to go a single either.

Ive heard good things about garrett turbos but just want all your opinions as to which would work the best with the combo above and what i want it to do.

Garrett -5,-7 or -9s??

Thanks

-7 and -9's won't do the figure you want. What you have at the moment with some boost up its bum will prob crack the 400 mark on E85, other than that it's -5. There are a couple other options out there now. Check out this discussion. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/445007-the-frankinstien-twin-turbo-thread/

You do NOT need Tomei manifolds. They do a really good job as a door stop or a paper weight and thats about it. I would also suggest ditching those split dump pipes and replacing with bellmouth/open style pipes.

Do you plan on stretching the capacity abit? IE Stroking it? At the end of the day, you're lugging around 1600 KG plus of car with a smallish capacity, short stroke, relatively lowish comp turbo charged engine. It's going to need a few revs whatever the turbo choice.

There is plently of info in the forced induction thread about this. Have a decent search.

As already mentioned, the RB26 dyno results thread is a good place to start.

Failing that maybe have a read through this thread - it's long and some of the earlier posts might be outdated so start from the end and read back.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
