Pretty sure CEF33Y is running a TD05-18G from memory.

Here is a bit more info and another pic because your image doesn't work on mobile lith.

It says it's in a nissan housing but doesn't mention what A/R. Either way its pretty shit and the exact opposite of what i am looking for haha. I agree that a 7163 would crush it and i'm hoping a 6758 would be miles ahead in repsonse and still make roughly the same power. 

Price wise the best i have found for a 6758 here in Australia is;

$1506 for a iron bearing supercore
$630 AUD for a G type (T4 TS .80 A/R) turbine housing
$16 for turbine locking tabs
$78 for wastegate brcaket kit and i already have an EFR compatible single port turbosmart wastegate

So roughly $2200 compared to the $2800 that cartel online has them listed for (which is the cheapest in AUS) and the $3000 that GCG has them for.

Almost ready to pull the trigger on buying this EFR setup!

Nah, I'm running a Hypergear OP6 highflow.

Stock manifolds, unopened motor, just supporting mods on 98. Cheap setup, and i'm pretty happy with it (read- used to the lag)

Super keen to see what results you get though.

Ah yeah, 18Gs are one of my less favourite units funnily enough - not least because they are heading in the direction of 20Gs for lag and 16Gs for power... hence I figure you go either 16G or 20G, there is no worthwhile in between despite everyone going for the 18G for some reason. <edit: I see Cef33y isn't, though the same still applies but it's more understandable that it's got so little at 4000>

Cool man, would love to see how that setup will go on a 20!!!  There is a disclaimer I always give for EFRs, don't jump to any conclusions of how it is performing until you actually drive it :)

Yeah my bad i was thinking of CRSKmD! Yeah im sure it would be fun but the lag would be horrible for me (coming from a RB25/30 neo with a SS2 .82 rear). I fking love RB20's though and a 260-300kw RB20 is not by any means a slow thing. Sure its no absolute powerhouse but that is heaps of power to go and have fun at a track day/drift day. So i am obviously trying to cook up the best streetable RB20 possible.

And drive it i will! This is not going to be a car that lives in the shed, will be driving it daily as much as i can haha. I think i found your mate with the 7163 on the 3sGTE on youtube as well.

FWIW i have purchased a Garage7 IPC and will be using that in this build also. Seems like a very cool but of gear but will be interesting to see how it actually works in the real world.

Yeah, my cars have always been laggy, so don't know what I'm missing, haha

At 240rwkw, its plenty for what I do (drifting). Bonus is I don't use as many tires as other peeps.

 

 

They're saying that the turbo is creeping like hell and they managed to control it via their IPC (and a very soft spring I suppose) instead of porting the shit out of the wastegate.
So yes I think there is room for improvement, beginning by the wastegate porting.

It's on a hub dyno, not sure if that makes a difference.

Nope, I've had a 50trim T3/T04E on the stock manifold a hub dyno with a stock RB20 and it was similar to the GTX on that plot... unless a VERY fast sweep was selected it seems rather laggy for what it is.

Turbo purchased and should be here in next 2 weeks. Manifold getting made at the moment :) really wanted to make an exact copy of the Gibson one but there was a few factors stopping it and I ended up going a different route. Manifold is getting made with a 8374 so if i ever go RB26 it will fit perfectly no dramas. Baby little 6758 should fit easily haha.

Cooler piping will be done when turbo turns up.

A hole in the bonnet should do it. It'll be easier after the first outing, just cut out the burnt area of paint!

Should be a fun car to drive, there's something about revving the crap out of an rb20 that feels good.

I know right! I honestly really do love them. Cant wait to spin this thing as hard as I can :)
Should sound great with that manifold, post some videos up when it's done.


Hopefully mate! The sound was a large part of the reason I went with a manifold like this. Will be going 3" straight through with twin 3.5" tips from Diff back

As I said there was a couple of reasons I couldn't go Gibson style, that was originally what I wanted. But after talks with my fabricator and facing some facts I decided on just going a completely custom manifold. Hopefully i can still get it to sound as close as possible to the Gibson item.

After deciding not to go with the Gibson I though I would try the gts-r manifold route. But decided against that in the end too. I have some tasty up close pics of a gts-r manifold though if you want them [emoji14]

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
