Hi,

changed but a hks g2530 will bolt straight on.

> Is there a t28 Ball bearing turbo direct fit made?

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.

> I appreciate your time and help.

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.

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
