Or do what the Japs did, run dual plenums, dual ICs.

That should help reduce the turbos "fighting" each other.

It's just like when you see two cocks in one box.. doesn't work too well, you need one in the pink and the other in the stink so noone is fighting for it.

My stance has been 1x hole 1x goal, ie single turbo!

I have no idea what those numbers mean.

The path ot successfully running twins has been shown numerous times. 

 

Have a sensible power goal, mild cams at the most, Twin Turbo pipe divider mod, good dumps/front pipe combo and don't use -5s if you value response. 

-9s with all of those bits will get you a healthy figure for the street. 

If you need the better high end power of -5s on a 2.6L and still want response, put a twin scroll single on it. 

What is your power goal?

Was going to say i get more boost sooner with my EFR but its got .2L and 260x11 cams behind it.


Glad i didnt install these on mine now. Will be interested seeing how old mate whos got them goes using the stock port shrouded front covers.

Bet ya glad ya listened now Pete? Twins in the bin single for the win ?

Wouldn't matter what cams or capacity the EFR still woulda knocked the snot out of those frankenfart twins.

At ANY power level!

So what turbine is your rebuilt turbos running? Still the 2510 turbine or full GTX2863 core in HKS housings?

full GTX2860 core in HKS housings

If you're serious then you're going to need a very good single turbo, like an EFR, with proper twin scroll setup.

The only way you're getting that goal with twins is with a huge displacement increase.

The single turbo swap will be cheaper.

You're also going to want a few other mods so it can live for more than a few Dyno runs.

When are -5s spooling? Can I get 600whp from them?

Is there a reason why you need to stay twins? Personal reason? Law enforcement? Because that's how Nissan wanted it? GTR's "must" have twins?

he was like Paul Version 1.0, twins, lag was life. Paul Version 2.0 is about usable power, better heat management and less homosexuality.

made a lot of things to make it convenient to service turbines

5s are f**ken shit! So are journal bearing turbos.

As above 8374 is an absolute beast of a turbo! 

If you want good power and response forget the twins! 

If you need the stock look so you dont get busted sure stay twins. But thats the ONLY reason to keep them!

A journal bearing twin scroll single turbo, I would dare say would perform better than a set of twins that produce like for like power output.

100% ?

Will only suck a dick between gears not everywhere like the 5s do!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
