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).

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

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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
