My engine has just been fully rebuilt with forged pistons , shot peened rods with heavy duty rodbolts and ported and flowed head with the rest of the internals being stock but new.

Barneys GTR has N1's and not a lot else and goes great.

No lag, full steel and with the right setup are able to make 600 ps in Japan.

All yours for the bolt in price of $3000ish for R34 N1's

PS Michael - 2530's are rated at 320hp each and should be good between 1.5 to 2 bar.

Sorry for the late reply, I ended up buying a set of Garrett GT2560R Ball bearings turbos as these will bolt straight on and fall in my budget range of $3000.

I have been told by a garrett dealer that these will bolt straight on and flow up to 400 HP each at 1 bar and have a steel exhaust wheel. They are cabable of 1.8 bar max.

I could not get a set of HKS 2530's or N1 's in that price range, equal to the same performance as the GT2560R..

The turbos that were pulled of the car Seemed to be a Garrett T28 ball bearing hybrid turbo. These are in as good as new condition with zero end play and are for sale if you know of anyone interested. (they have been inspected by a mechanic and I was told they barley have done I000-3000 km). they have a ceramic exhaust wheel and are only cabable of handling 300HP at 1 bar max. hence the reason I am up grading to the GT2560R.

I have been told by the engine builder that the car should produce 400 + RWK with the addition of a power Fc, boost controller, 550 injectors, high pressure fuel pump and bigger intercooler

Thanks for the help

Hey Mike, I am going through exactly the same process.

Am thinking about GT-SS or the GT2560r like you.

I understand that the GT2560r more or less IS the N1 turbo and I have also heard that the GT2560r IS the GT28RS (disco potato), Garrett implemented a new naming scheme apparently.

anyhow, back on subject. How did it go? Do you have them fitted? And most importantly what is their response like?

I am after quick spool up and hence I am looking at the GT-SS also.

Matt.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • 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.
