Hi guys, just wondering what are some good options for an R32 GTR turbo upgrade (based on your experience).

Car is a 1992 model and I soon want to get rid of the stock turbos.

Current Mods:

- Trust intercooler

- HKS hard pipe kit

- Alloy 52mm radiator

- Aftermarket front pipe into aftermarket 3" cat back exhaust

- PowerFC with hand controller

I was looking at some 2860 -7...just need other opinions.

My future goals for now is around 260kw atw on low boost setup. With a responsive turbo spool.

Preferably around $1,200 budget.

Thanks.

-7's will get you just over 300kws

-9's is the SAU preferred

look at $2500 plus fitting

Ps. Keep your standard camshaft but get some cam gears.

if you want to do it on a budget look out for some second hand t28 silvia or pulsar turbo's. these make a good upgrade and if you are patient you could probably pickup a couple from those guys who have upgraded their stock ones.

that $1200 budget will get you a set of 2nd hand -7's pretty easily.

Swap them out yourself and - I can't believe i'm saying this - run the car on your current tune while you save for a re-tune.

A fuel pump would also be a good idea

Thanks man, yeah that plan sounds good. Saw a pair of near new going for $1200.

I snapped my -7's up for $1100 a couple of years ago. Swapping them yourself is a bit of a pain but it's doable. While your at it, find yourself a set of R34 dumps if you don't already have after market ones and you'll be well on your way to 300kw.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
