Hi guys

Need help deciding what turbos im gonna use next

Currently running gtss turbos on e85 and making 368 kw at the rears.

I want more power but no more lag

What are my options?

Iv heard borg warner turbos are good

Any suggestions?

Keep in mind I dont want it to be laggy and its a street car

Thanks!

In terms of twin options I think your about out of luck, the amount of power u are making with those turbos is quite decent.

Next step would be to either go stroker kit with -5s so u don't lose the response or go to a single set up

In saying that you haven't really described ur set up

Agreed.

More boost will still give you more torque, but it will heat the charge air also.

Opening up any restrictions will help a little, as may cams etc. HKS Vcam if you can find one perhaps?

How much more power are you chasing ? What can the current internals handle , as scotty quoted charge air temp with more boost (water injection setup ? extra injector plumbed into plenum) ,... what rpm range suits your driving , how many demerit points can your licence handle....lol... pac performance got 1000hp ,maybe give them a call for setup options that they tried . 368kw is a fair wack of power at the treads and can be hard to put it down efficiently with out smoke...unless thats what your chasing...... bigger single turbo= more lag time with incorrect cam timing ... poor cam timing will create rough idle and poor slow speed drive ability ...hope that makes sense ive had a beer or two :cheers:

    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
    • That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
