It'll be crap to drive but make lots of power on a 2.6, those turbos are more suited to 2.8-3.0l

Whats his power goal? Drag spec or street?

Garret themselves state the turbos are no good on a mild 2.6

I wonder how they would go on a highly modified 2.6L in place of my -5's. 

Probably far to laggy.

Should be okay on a high revving 2.6, even still -5s on e85 would be better

To the OP: Better off getting HKS 2530 or -5s if he is staying on twins.

I am getting some -5’s upgraded by MMP turbos to bring them into the 21’st century. Ceramic bearings and modern turbine and compressor wheels. Am expecting a combination of better response and a broader power band. 

Luke is super keen to share his knowledge and see how he can make the turbo best suit your goals.

What compressor turbine wheel are they using?

I’ll need to get some more technical details as I’m not exactly certain. Turbos being sent off next week. 

Image below of ones prepared last year for a customer. 

I already have the turbosmart IWG75 actuators on my current -7’s with a 20psi base pressure, so once bolted onto a mildly ported head with some higher lift cams it should make some stout numbers.

That is real interesting.  Please post before and after results.

I might talk to a well respected Turbo builder in NZ and see if he ca do similar before I go for a tune. 

As I’m changing turbos, cams and getting the heads ported I don’t feel there will be an accurate comparison but here is the results of my current set up. 

Highflowed -7’s

kelford 264 8.9 Cams 

plazmaman 76mm intercooler

E85

What do you mean by 'Highflowed -7’s' ???

Billet wheels or?!?

This is what I've been talking about doing with the turbo guru here in S.A I believe...

Basically taking some -5's and putting billet wheels into them...?!?

    • 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
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
