id love to put a new to4z on it, but im in adelaide! The defect capital. Stealthy low mounts are a must, and even then they can still catch you out if they want to.

yeah all signs pointing to 2530's.. SK tells me he's seen 400awkw from a stock capacity 2.6l on pump i believe. Even so, would you say 380plus at the wheels will be a gimme on a 2.8?? :)

yeah car was reaching just under 2 bar by 5 and reved out to 9.5k, was very impressive!!!! considering sotock turbos reach full boost just under a 4k and from what I have heard tdo6's on a rb26 dont see full boost to near on 6 I would be confident in saying the extra 200cc was doing a hell of alot to make it a better driving car!!!

I have been in a R33 GTR with a veilside 2.8L stroker and twin td06's, and let me say the car was absolutley awesome. It was delivered from Japan as is and was an ex veilside promo car, I am sure as few of the older die hard skyliners in Sydney will know the guy and car I am refering to. With tdo6's and around 460rwkw the car came on strong and was alot more responsive off boost than expected, ie the extra 200cc made it such a different beast to say my gtr at the time with a rb26 and t51!!!

Just a quick side quip, I can send all the specs to a rb30 crank  to a very highly reputable parts manufacturer in America, they can produce for me a one off full forged billit crank for $7200USD in steel and $11,500USD in titanium!!!Now if I was ever going to do a 2.8L Jap kit I would first slap myself and say dont be stupid the Japanese kits are overpiced then I would send my crank over get it made then make a 28mm spacer for the top off my rb26 and have myself a 3L rb26. But then I would realised thats to much money and effort and build a aussie rb30 which have the same main girdle design (which people is the weak point of all the nissan straight 6 designs) and make the same power and save myself 10g! But I am not comparing APPLES AND APPLES so sorry!!!

At the end of the day SLY33 was after experience with the kits and from experience they are an awesome bit of gear, there only downfall I believe is expense, but its your money and you spend however you like my friend.

Cheers.

i understood that veilside never did a stoker motor ,i can even recall an inview with the man himself and he was asked why they never did stoker he liked a high reving motor more and didnt want to change the characteristics of the rb26, in there cars. Have a look at hpi dvd 5 for the interview

personally i think sly33 your on the right track a 2.8litre low mount twin combo will give you the ulimate street /track combo for a gtr any of the

turbos

GT2560R 707160-5

HKS 2530

trust 517Z (i think form memory)

are all very similar and very good turbos for the rb26 the 2.8 WILL give yoiu more torque and better responce ,NISMO did not race there's as a 2.8 for nothing for how many years and i believe HKS and TOMIE to be the best of the after market brand and they both do 2.8litre. i believe the japanise didn't go much bigger on purpose as the rb26 was built to rev.

I also seem to remember some of the most impressive street gtr's ever built were of this same comfiguration ,the black r34 gtr in the UK gtr video etc , look the ulimate gtr the Z TUNE is what ? 2.8 litre twin low mount why? because its the best combo for the gtr nismo ever came up with. Dont you think if there was a better for street track they might know about it after what 16years racing/tuning.

SLY33 your on the right track to and awesome weapon listen to the companies that know NISMO/HKS/TOMEI ETC.

as for the HKS GTRS turbos they are a little of an unknown or should i say unproven set up in the way that the small top end gains dont seem to out way the bottom end losses , over say the hks250/gt2560r etc BUT it might just be that none has just found the right combo for them yet .I actually hope Gav has sum luck with his 2.8 hks gtrs combo.

drop me a line if you would like to have a chat as there has been a few interesting thing i have picked up in the last few months in relation to this setup

Why is noone ever tries the Tomei bolt up turbos. I know they are based on Garrets, are they over priced pieces of poo, too expensive for ppl to try, not as good as 2530s????? Just like the Apexi AX530P22 xyz thingiemibobs. They simply dont stack up the performance of the 2530s??????

thanks pnblight, i have talked to a couple of workshops today, and consensus fairly consistent, the t517z's in the 8cm2, will be too small on a 2.8. They make 380rwkw on a 2.6 but im told that is really pushing it, and intake temps get very high. So im told on a 2.8 they will spin right out of efficiency earlier than on a 2.6, and start pumping hot air. The 10cm2 may be a good option, however, no one has tried these so they are an unknown, and im not really in a position to bite the bullet and buy something no one has solid results with. Im after tried and tested here!

From what i know of the 2530, it is no good in single form on a 2.5 at the top end, but is good on a 2litre. so at 1.4litres per turbo on my setup "shouldnt" be a problem. It has been suggested to me that even the 2.8 may spin the 2530's out of efficiency also.. But i would hope for a bare minimum of 350rwkw without pushing it too hard, plus the benefits of the 2.8 in off boost drivability and early spool up. Im still sussing possible options.

well i believe jagr33(i think is the sau name) has made 531rwhp/398rwkw with the trust turbos

i think what you need to ask yourself is where does your true priority rest responce your out right hp as if your not happy with 400rwhp you will battle to maintain a good responsive drive package. Out right hp doesn't make the fastest street car it's drivable traction and torque curve that makes a car truely fast in more than a straight line.

what is your goals

Why is noone ever tries the Tomei bolt up turbos. I know they are based on Garrets, are they over priced pieces of poo, too expensive for ppl to try, not as good as 2530s?????  Just like the Apexi AX530P22 xyz thingiemibobs. They simply dont stack up the performance of the 2530s??????

if the rest of the tomei gear is anything to go by i would thick they would be great turbos but i think is just there are so many other cheap turbo combos out there. I would love to try a set but the budget doesnt stretch that far.

They are actually based on IHI units. I also have a feeling that the Z-tune uses one of these 'Tomei' turbines.

Tomei and NISMO have so much gear in common now. The Z tune crank is the Tomei crank, FPRs, fuel pumps, and a few other things.

well i believe jagr33(i think is the sau name) has made 531rwhp/398rwkw with the trust turbos

And since has gotten rid of the T517z's as he wasnt very impressed with thier power delivery and response compared to his new ones (garrett 2560) :D

little less power but more response.

I know thats what i'd want too, much better streeter

PNBLIGHT

Thanks for that I didnt actual know that Veilside didnt make strokers, do they make any forged cranks oruse others, the car must of had another brand maybe HKS?? It was certain that the car was an ex Veilside promo, it had a hideous one off kit with big veilside stickers down the sides and veilside badges and a number placard with veilside on it etc. Not bagging the 2,8 kits at all I think they are beautifully made just the problem as with most japanese stuff due to their economic situation, it's too expensive for the average joe!!!

honestly i dont know but they must get there gear made somewhere as there std stoke motors make 1400hp plus at something like 12500rpm with twin 3542 veilside turbos which are based off a hks 3240

and anything that is actually veilside (not copy) is of the highest quality and kits are awesomely built but not all in my tasty(there are some nice kits tho).

ps is everyone else noticing that the gtrs turbos seem to be very high rpm to get going and only achieve small gains over the gt2560r/hks2530.

I didnt realise that jagr33 had changed to gt2560r. I might have to send him a line to see what he thinks of them compared to the trust units.

how much more lag are we talking. Are the exhurst temps better on the GTRS turbos compaired to the 2530/2560r. would also like to see both of jagr33 dyno runs side by side i was lookn at the t51z.

Are you sure they are IHI? Teh source for my info wasnt the greatest, so if you say so.

You are right about the Z tune though. Does anyone else find it interesting that when Nismo went about building the Z Tune they followed the Europeans by using an IHI based turbo. Mush like all the Euro manufacturers who typically use IHI or KKK ???

Could it be a killer twin setup is still out there, we need to just look to what the Euros or yanks are doign rather then the Japanese?

I'm 99% sure they are IHI.

IHI turbos are Japanese though. IHI stands for Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries.

Pete...what sort of RPM were you seeing max torque with the 2560Rs? In all honesty, once my car was sorted, I found the GTRS's to be quite good on the stock engine. I was seeing peak torque at a touch under 5000RPM.

In a few weeks, I will be able to tell you what they are like on a fresh engine.

this car was in one of the last issues of zoom magazine. 2.8L HKS, twin GT-RS turbo's, 650 ps, 706NM of torque at a high 6100rpm.

Maybe the setup was such to bring the torque on so high?? massive cams maybe? As 6100rpm is A LOT different to Mik's peak torque at under 5000 on only a 2.6!!

I'm 99% sure they are IHI.

IHI turbos are Japanese though. IHI stands for Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries.

Yeh they may be Japanese (again if you say so) but the IHI and KKK turbos are far more prevelant in European sports cars and motorsport. Asia seems to be the domain of Garretts...just an observation. For that matter US seems to be the domain of aftermarket companies basing their turbos on the Garretts, ie Innovative, Turbonetics etc

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
