Hey im bored and got money so i have decided to sell my 32 n1's turbos for a nre b/b set of either 34 n1's or something else prob is what is something else im looking for something that will bolt on the factory ppostion but if i dont go for the 34 n1's something that will make more power, not to worried about lag so i was considering maybe 2540,s with a set of cams would this be wise...

and question how much are 32 n1's worth these days..

A/r 60 steel wheels

I'm doing something different......mainly due to a few people getting pinged for import duty on Turbos thru Nengun and the like atm.

Anywho I'm getting my standard turbos rebuilt using Steel T28 Wheels, and having the Housing Machined, costs just over $1000ea to perform....should see 600fwHP which is probably 100hp more than i'll ever use :)

Did the same thing to my old 'VLT T3' was good for almost 400rwHP, and is still going strong after 2+years.

I will post results when complete

I got my GTSS through nengun! and a whole stack of parts... no duty or GST!

I wouldn't go running around advertising that fact. Regardless, you have to at least budget for the possibility when buying from Japan (US is a different story post free trade agreement).

I wouldn't choose the GT-SS's if your after more power than the N1s. I would choose at least the 2530s. 2540s = a mismatched turbo, so avoid (do a search for more info).

Is it possible to see a modified version of that graph with rpm instead of speed ?  I'm interested in the response of the 2530's but I'm not sure about the GTR gearing.

Dyno's charts are done in either 3rd or4th gear which is 21.9km/h per 1000rpm & 28.5 km/h per 1000rpm respectively.

The larger 0.6 AR front N1's are good for more top end power. I have the plain bearing group A's and at only 13.8 psi they can make around 400hp at the treads easy with cams (I have detuned my engine for a safe 370rwhp). If you wack the boost up to 20 psi with a better intercooler you could see as much as 500+rwhp. At those levels your engine needs to be made stronger and even before that an oil cooler is nice to have.

I'm running 700cc sard injectors, cams are tomei 260's and standard airflow meters. The Standard airflow meters run out of resolution over 400rwhp and it's easier to tune with something bigger like the Rb20/25's and they are a straight plug in. If you are shooting for more than 500 then Z32's are the shot. If you have the 0.6AR front N1's you should be able to get more out of it with bigger cams.

i'm running the gt2560r garret 320hp (r34n1) they have 0.60ar compressor and 0.64ar turbine housing and with pfc ,z32afm ,700cc sard injectors and poncams i make 529.4rwhp at 20psi .The gt2560r are very similar to 2530hks with the same turbine but has a differnet compressor ( i my opinion an awesome turbo combo for the gtr).

The 2530 hks is also an excellent unit also.

    • 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
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • 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.
