Hey guys i need all your advice lol

So i currently am running greddy t517zs/10cm housings on my 34 with a fully built 2.6 litre motor... 8:5:1 compression, forged pistons,rods, type b poncams,cam gears,e85...the list goes on. I made 403kw on 22psi as the injectors were maxed out.

The thing doesn't hit boost until 4000rpm and full boost at 6000rpm and drops off at 8000rpm. Now i do like the turbos but i hate that they are quite laggy. Im after response and still want to hold good power.

Im thinking of getting the -5s and putting KTS billet compressor wheels in them and going from there but I've also heard good things about the HKS KAIs.

The car is purely a street car, i do drive in the hills a bit but i don't do track days or drags etc. Like i said i want good response and still want to hold the power.

Please help me my fellow GTR guru's

Why not go to 8cm housings instead? Might be the cheapest way out to pick up some response and the tune will probably only need a tickle up which may keep costs down too.

The 5's will be the most responsive out of your options there.

Are you purely a twins kinda guy?

I have thought about going the 8cm housings as that is an option. And yes its twins only for me mate...i hate big singles on GTRs unless they are purely set up for drags i think singles are pointless

Its more fun with twins

Thing is those turbos are pretty big for a 2.6L & stock compression ratios. Even changing housings may only net you 500-600rpm (being optimistic) which still only brings you down to 5500.

The 5's will net you over 1000rpm of response and probably pick up another 20 or 30kw up top if ya setup is good :)

Problem is he will lose the power in the top end. If going to 8cm housings, better off just putting -9s on and have the most blistering response possible for the 330-340rwkw marker. (Although with 8cm it should make a tad more).

517s have never been as good as -5s... I don't think saying you can pick up 1,000rpm response is entirely accurate by the same token. They start coming on by 4,000rpm as his 517s, they are just "all-in" if you will, a lot sooner depending on the setup.

Have been in two cars now that went from 517s to -5s - it's a noticeable difference...

Although really, 20psi or more should be well and truly in by 5,000rpm so me thinks issues with cam set-up as per Piggaz comments are heading towards. Would start there before pulling turbos off, you might find a fix without going through a 3.5-4k expenditure.

I'm not being smart or an expert but when I'm thinking of turbo's and what my future build with.

I found a topic that I enjoyed and most post with pictures.

read the line graphs see what you want, theirs over a 1000 posts

Read all you will definitely find someone with same setup that you desire

And reading the charts you can really see when high HP turbo's kick in>_>

As someone that ran an 8cm , 10cm and 12cm housing on the same 2L engine and a TD06 I can tell you the 12cm housing made no more powre than the 8cm. Just wasy waaaaay laggier. Changed to 2.5L and the 12cm was still too big.

My point, changing from win 10cm housing to 8cm will be fine and make the car far better. When I went from 10cm TD06-20G on my RB20 to 8cm this was the difference

So go to the 8cm...all imo

What dumps and exhaust?

If the back end is restrictive, it can greatly affect it.

Going off what you have listed, I'm assuming theyre done, but you know what they say about assuming.....

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
