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Failing that maybe have a read through this thread - it's long and some of the earlier posts might be outdated so start from the end and read back.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
