changed but a hks g2530 will bolt straight on.

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.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
