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 :D

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.

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 :D

Meh. Just tell her its cheaper than an RX7 :D

LW.

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.

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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
