what about single turbo's?

i think i would prefer single turbo conversion now because its so much more simple.

im after a responsive single turbo.. after about 300rwkw +

thanks..

oh and where in brisbane sell single turbo conversion kits??

i would like to buy the kit pretty soon

With the single turbo kits there are a few options you have, but as far as response these turbo’s are a grey area for me.

1. Garrett GT35R with 0.82 housing is pretty good. It will get you to the 300 mark you are aiming for. There are a few members on this site going in that direction. Wouldn't hurt to read Shaun's post on his engine build up.

Also you will have to source a manifold and gate.

2. HKS T04R. Do Luck is using it on their R34GTR. I will provide you with a quote from HPI magazine vol 40 GTR special #4.

"Rated to support over 600ps, these are very popular bolt on kits in Japan. They are generally considered to be the largest kit you should fit to an RB26 with a standard bottom end"

There are more turbo's on the market but I am unaware of any that is as responsive as these units. But having spoken to Sydneykid about this matter, he recommends the HKS 2530 units over single conversion. Personally, I agree with him!

i have got this quote for a twin setup

Low mount, twin turbo set up:

We are using Garret Australia sourced GT28RS's in place of the HKS

GT2530's.

List:

Two GT28RS turbos

Two stainless manifolds suit low mount

Two dump pipes

Shipping

Delivery time will be aprox 10 days

Total is $6750

maby a highmount will be cheaper?

however i will need custom intake, dump/front pipe.. unless there is some sort of kit?

$6750??

You can buy a pair of GT2560's or whatever those popular ones are at the moment for less than $3,000 for the pair. I think "RACESPEC" on these forums was selling them.

Then you can buy a pair of X-Force stainless dumps for around $600. Think you can get these from Unique Autosports?

Is there much point in getting the stainless manifolds? I'm sure you can get to 340rwkw without them.

So for around $3,600 you can buy similar bits to what you enquired about locally, and have them now.

Plenty of cheap singles under $2k

Once you add manifold, gate, lines/fittings, relocation of wires/hoses, heat shielding, fabrication of dump pipe, intake piping and any other bits and pieces it does get the cost up. Certainly not something I'd recommend doing if you're worried about the $.

To me a pair of GT2530s or similar on the standard manifolds makes the most sense.

yer i thought 6750 was a bit expensive :D

what decent single turbo could i get for under $2000

nah i was just saying that cuz JiMiH said $1800 for the turbo... i havent been able to find one that cheap.

i was planning to run stock injectors and ecu for a couple of months as the engine is being rebuilt now and i will just be driving it around softly on standard boost for a while...

but i plan to upgrade ecu and injectors...

also have bosch 044 pump ready to go in

GT2860 (707160-5). They can be had for about $2400 for the pair (see here).

Then you can buy a pair of X-Force stainless dumps for around $600. Think you can get these from Unique Autosports?

My 0.02c is that the X-force dumps are pretty expensive for what are just HKS copies, particularly if you want to change your front pipe too. Better off grabbing the Greddy Front Extension Pipes (~$1100).

Is there much point in getting the stainless manifolds? I'm sure you can get to 340rwkw without them.

Seemingly not. Have a search for the thread by John from UAS about his improved stock manifolds. Quite some discussion in there.

Lucien.

what about something like:

T70 (650hp)

- 0.70 A/R Compressor

- 0.84 A/R Turbine

from:

I wouldn't be using a plain bearing turbo on a car that sees the circuit, OK on a drag car though.

:mellow: cheers :blink:

Try Horsepowerinabox ... sometimes they have specials

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category12_1.htm

GT35 for around $2100

Shop around you'll find something for around 2k.

From my Experience so far Factory ECU does not like Turbo upgrades to much, Mine runs a pair of GT2560Rs, Trust Greddy Dumps and front pipe, 14psi and gets 315rwHP.

Runs extremely rich over 5000rpm, restricting power.

For me now to get 450rwHP (similar to your goal) I would require a PowerFC and some larger injectors (probably SARD 700cc) and some adjustable cam gears, add a more boost she'll hit 450 ;)

All up in parts alone you'd be looking at around $6500.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
