Guys / Gals,

I am looking at getting some more power out of the old girl, what sort of Turbos should I be looking at????? I would like maybe a size or two bigger than the T25's / T28's the GTR comes with......Would like the car to remain street mannered, but am looking for more of a track set up than a drag weapon....

Engine Mods are.

N1 Oil Pump

N1 Water Pump

Jun Sump Baffle

HKS Front Pipes

3" Exhaust From Cat Back.

28 Row Oil Cooler

Running .61 Bar

Nismo Clutch

Brakes and Suspension are all taken care of.

Mike

I'm running 2530's on mine with decent results .made 370rwhp@4500rpms 1.2bar boost on a 2wd dyno dynamics dyno the other day we didn't go any further cause it showed the car leaning out but this was later to be proved wrong. Willl be replacing the stock dump pipes in the coming week and looking to move up to 1.3 bar . I've traped 115mph with the current setup on a 30deg night will be looking to trap 120mph+ by the middel of the year with the same turbs.

wrxhoon on here has N1 turbo's on his r33 GTR at 1.2bar running PFC (tuned by Ben at Bel performance) stock fuel system and even air box ran 11.7@120mph on a nice cool night last year . The n1's are a good bang for your buck turbo and are pretty easy to come by these days you can't go wrong .

Also like you mentioned for circuit racing and street driving you can't go wrong with either the N1's or 2530's they have the same response as stock turbo's but don't run out of puff up high . If you really want to spend the moneu though you can go for the HKS GT-RS's which are better then both mentioned at everything .

Dont ask here.. everyone has a different expirence and a different car. your just gonna get a thousand different answers.

Find a tuner, speak to them about what you want to do and get them to recomend something in your price range and that will get you the power and response that you want.

HKS GT-SS, R34 N1, GT2530s... They're all much of a muchness. You'll get about 340-360awkw from them all on a safe circuit racing tune. The GT2530s will be about 500rpm laggier than the other two, but make a bit more power.

They're all good choices, and you can't go wrong.

Despite 7heavn's advice, don't go for GT-RS unless you're going to stroke the motor out to 2.8 or 3.0 litres.

I kind of agree with Andrew on the GT-RS thing. The fact that some of the quickest street and open class GTRs around Tsukuba still use 2530s tells me that for a near stock capacity GTR circuit car, they are good shit.

We have a full kit of low klm HKS 2530s coming avail soon, currently on our race car making 405AWKW. This is the full kit (stainless manifolds and dump pipes, wastegate actuators and all inlet and intercooler piping and all bolts pipes and associated equip) let us know if you are interested.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
