I'm not after a turbo ATM but found this pic on my PC which might help some of you guys trying to figure out what you want. Obviously there are many factors other than a power target that will dictate what you want but hopefully this will help anyway :P

Daniel,

What can your guy do for my stock GTR R32 turbos? I'm only looking for a bit more out of them (maybe 210-230kw atw) with reliability. What cost for rebuild with steel wheels, and what cost for hiflow etc? What do you recommend?

I am getting a price for you on a special turbo available now as a direct bolt on replacement for the GTR's. I asked him today and he will hopefully reply to me tomorrow. Like I said...direct bolt on, so everything just goes back where it came off. They are both twin ball bearing and rated at 300hp each. Highflows are gonna cost you $1400-$1800 depending on condition of turbos and how tough you want them. I dare say these other BB turbos will be around the $1700 mark but I will confirm tomorrow when he calls me.

do you have the garrett gt2871r in stock or turbo equivalent to this??

I asked him today about this and he is looking for me tomorrow. He thought that turbo was the same as the GT28R which is $1400. I asked him to do some more research on this one to find out what the go is. I will let you know when I do.

I believe there 2 different turbos.

Very interested if you can get them.

Thanks

NFI:confused:

Totally different turbos. The gt30 does not come in an internal gate. That combo was a GCG combo using the standard skyline exhaust housing . This combo has been proven to be very unreliable. The only other way to do it is to buy the HKS ex housing which is very pricey. The GT35/40 rated at 700hp is internal gate but only come in a 1.06 ex housing A/R at that rating. HP in a box do a 0.63 but it is not rated at 700, I think it is closer to 500-550hp.

I have done a highflow for Syphon and a GT35R for Skyrine-Dave.

I officially have no hair left!

I also want to know is the GT30 with internal gate 0.63 comparable to say a HKS2830...or do I have NFI...
No F@#%in Idea

I was looking at the horsepowerinabox one with the internal gate

I am REALLY after a direct bolt on similar to the HKS2835 I think...or maybe the HKS2830 (I may have these wrong as I have NFI...)

Sorry, I just read my last post and realized how rude I must have sounded. I didn't mean you had NFI and appologise for coming across like that. Ummm...what car is this going onto Bob. The reason I ask is because the HKS 2835 comes in T3 or T2 flange but the garrett equivalent only comes in T2.

You would probably want something like the aforementioned GT3071. It is internal gate and rated at 400-450hp, T3 flange. I am currently trying to find out how much it would cost to highflow this turbo by Garrett as this would place it well into the 500hp mark and make it a good int gate bolt on comparable to the GT30R.

Dan, you weren't rude bro...I HAVE NFI...there is no much contradicting info re turbo's that I am just over it...I know what I want.

I want a turbo that will have good response for street and occassional strip, probably a 0.63 rear housing, internal gate, bolt on no changes to any lines as they are all new...

Car is a R33GTST, rebuilt...only want to run a MAX of 14psi when i get an PFC and front mount and larger fuel pump.

So that means T3 flange, I have seen good results from the HKS 2830 from some people, but the efficiency curve according to my calcs in better suited to an RB20, where as the 2835 is better suited to the 25...

What is 400-450 in kw...I don't want a monster that comes on boost hard I want something reasonably responsive which aint gonna happen with a 1.06 rear housing...

That 35/40 with the 1.06 housing was actually designed and flowed to be on a 2 litre 6 cylinder engine. They reckon it should come on boost at 3200-3500 depending on whether you have the 2 or 2.5 L. I don't know how true this is and I don't want anyone to be a guinea pig for it. I would rather just ask someone who has already got one on.

As for direct bolt on, you have three options...these are:

1: Highflow

2: HKS

3: Buy a different car

HKS and Greddy and companies like that are the only ones that have made the direct bolt on stuff for Skylines in the smaller stuff with internal gate unfortunately....you might be better off waiting until they bring out their T3 range. Even then though...anything Ball bearing will have different fittings for the water and oil lines so that rules all of them out.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
