new owner of a 32 gtr, in panel n paint shp atm, jus some questions about the setup

-is it a sequential type system?

-is it 1 manifold with 2 turbos on it or 2 manifolds, 1 for each, each running on 3 cylinders

-getting aftermarket gear, are 2 wastegates needed? im guessin ye because of the 2 turbos...

-ive seen a few ads for parts and it shows 2 seperate manifolds?

-a common question.... single turbo VS twin turbo?

any other information about how the engine works would be greatly appreciated. im familiar with my old SR not thi engine :)

2 manifolds, 1 for each, 3 cylinders

the stockers have internal wastegates with actuators attached. you can goto bigger twins and they will come with upgraded internal wastegate and actuators. you would only need twin external gates for a large twin setup, like gt2835 or larger in pairs

>> -ive seen a few ads for parts and it shows 2 seperate manifolds?

yes its basically two 3 cyclinder manifolds, v shaped. 1 turbo per manifold

>> -a common question.... single turbo VS twin turbo?

depends on budget, power goal, wha u want to do with the car and if you care about defects, looks in engine bay, use of air intake etc. do a search there was a massive single vs twin on the rb26 thread about 5 months ago

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
