Hey all,

 Ive got an R32 GTSt that im hoping to make about 225 kw at the wheels. Ive got an R31House tubular manifold with a T3 flange, 440cc injectors, and a Haltech Plugin Pro ECU.

Id planned on using an HKS GT2530 turbo but i was looking for suggestions of other turbos thatd get me to my power goal.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Garrett gtx2860 gen2 will easily get you there with ultimate response and would be my choice for your stated goal.

Gtx2863 or 2867 gen 2 will give you heaps more in reserve if you want to push it more later but you'll need bigger injectors.

If you want to do it on the cheap, a hypergear hi flowed rb25 turbo will get you there but won't be as responsive.

Im more after response rather than outright power. Ive driven big turbo RB20 and they make incredible top end power but theyre lazier than hell getting there.

 

Is the GTX2860 a T3 flanged turbo?

Generic housings can be purchased through mamba/ebay

 

If you're after true bolt on, you'll likely have to stay with your original hks idea.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
