Just thought i'd post up now that i've joined the GTSS turbo club

My GTR isn't all that modified but these turbo's are great! Spools up quicker than standard for sure and pulls much harder even on a lower boost level! No dyno or 1/4 mile figures as yet, but looking like i'll be hitting WSID 13th of july

Excellent - let me know how it goes. I'm looking at these as one option for myself - would really like some feedback.

Did you fit different dump pipes? Injectors to suit? etc?

Really looking forward to driving the car and getting some KM's on it with the new turbo set up

Yeh I did fit different dump pipes..a set of stainless MINES dumps. Still running stock injectors, pump, cooler. Other mods are power FC, full exhaust, clutch, cam gears and some pod filters.

Time to upgrade the fuel

[Tommyk]

Mmmmmm

I might just jump in here and say I've gone down the GT2560R bandwagon. Apparently they're 320hp, and im really curious to see how they go against these SS's.

My girlfriend is spewing when i told her how much im spending

[Tommyk]

fuel pump

injectors

cams

cam gears

install

tune

[MELV]

well, i ended up going with TWIN HKS 2835 52t turbos. being BB turbos they feel heaps stronger to the Group A N1's that i used to run. maxed out on injectors now 366awkw on 1.3bar with the new setup was impressive. but now jumping right in a going CP forgies, Rods, 272 with 10.2lift cams, hks fuel rail, 700cc injectors and new valves. im having trouble chasing down the valves, anyone know any places ? also need new rings on the forgies so im chasing them down too.

[Ryan1200]

If your chasing valves try ferra think performance wholesale stock them.

[The Alchemist]

HKS GT-SS turboes fitted and engine ready to go in:) yay! heres a few piccys

[mark morris]

just wanting your opinions on my situation!

I have the stock set of turbos with all the usual mods, and am in the market for some new ones. now I can get a set of new r34 n1s for arround 3.5k.

from reading this thread I can see you have to get different dumps for the gt,ss set up, what about oil lines, water lines, manifolds ect.

Just wondering what sort of money the whole gt,ss set up has cost you guys and if they perform that much better than the n1s for the difference in price.

Keeping in mind that I am using the car as a daily driver and not a track car and small power differences wont be that critical.

what would you do?

Where did you get the MINES dumps from and how much did you pay?

I am trying to locate some - or perhaps Tomei Dumps as I think they are similar.

I'm not convinced of the split pipe design at all.

Did you have to mate them to MINES front pipes? Or are most Front Pipes and Dumps interchangeable? (ie do MINES dumps match up ok with HKS Front Pipes in terms of flange and bore etc?)

you don't HAVE to fit new dump pipes to run GT-SS. they are a direct replacement turbo. but if you are going to the trouble and expense of replacing turbos (either SS or N1) then I would say it will be worthwhile to replace the dumps at the same time. in fact it would be silly not to.

[ferni]

GT-SS turbos would be much better than the N1s, the turbo kit from nengun comes with everything you need. You can change the dump pipes if you want. Not sure how much effect it has on tuning.

[mark morris]

I have xforce dumps with seperate waste gate pips all ready on the car so the

gt-ss turbos will just bolt in? how much are the ss kits worth?

[lwells]

The HKS GT-SS's use the standard GT-R flange.
