hey ppl i recently had my motor die on me.... uterly dead and i am looking at doing a few upgrades along with the rebuild....

my current mds include a 3" turbo bak zorst, fmic, bleed valve, safc2 and a pod filter....

am getting forged pistons and gtr rods put in, now all i am wondering about is wat do ppl think would be the best turbo my car is an auto, and i like the power lower down for better acceleration othr than massive top speed

what kind of budget ?

this one looks tasty , internally gated gt30 flanged for rb20/25s . Its pretty new though so I havent heard any experiences with it

apart from that gcg do rebuilds of your stock turbo up to 450hp , full ball bearing , steel wheels .

i JUST fitted a GCG high flow, and can say that while the response is slightly down the mid range power when it does come on is awesome....

this is all before a tune as well, so am keeping it to a respectable .9 bar

not really that cheap tho ... but excellent plus factor that you dont have to stuff around with anything else to make it fit as its externally identical !

total cost was $1950 the price of the tubby ... plus a fwe $ for gaskets and copper washers ..

i also changed the oil at teh same time, was about time to do it ...

when i took off the water lines, basically the content of the rad pissed out, so replaced all the coolent as well ..

i already have 3" turbo back, walbro pump, hks pod, evc 4, and a pfc and malpassi fpr, and 480cc injectors waiting to be installed....

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
