Be nice to have a new cast block I'd say. Mine been 600hp for 8 years with stock R33 GTR block i brought from the wreckers for $400 and got it scanned etc. Almost time for a refresh with 50,000km+ on it :). Kids have slowed down the KM's on it now days though.

You are correct Auckland based. Just want a good return on going single - after a "good combo". Cool i will contact Infomotive.

That is FAR better response than the -5s i run now and on highboost am maxing those suckers at 430kw at rear wheels and 11.1@127mph on the 1/4 with 225 goodyear eagle d5's on haha. I am liking the sound of this turbo to be honest.

Hey all, Anyone got any experience with the above turbo? I have seen a video on youtube and a 2.6L was getting 490kw but the RPM scale or something was weird on that dyno. It would be running on a forged 2.6L. Thanks B

What are the horror stories out of interest? Thanks

I went to the strip yesterday non prepped surface with twin turbo -5s and $200 a corner Goodyear E F1 Directional 5's (4 years old). Ended up with a new PB for the day. 60' 1.736 1/8 7.265 1/4 mile: 11.163 @126 I was pretty impressed with the way it got out the hole and down the line on this shitty old rubber. It shows that twins are ok hahahahha.

When i lost my turbo wheels at WOT i just lost boost but never had splutters etc. Although i was on the highway so didnt slow down much. I did eventually have an engine failure but I did a rain launch for a laugh so i think it was just a stock pump failure.

Anyone got any results from these turbos yet? With the price of GTR's still growing i think keeping with twin turbos will help with value as people look for stock configurations more and more. Plus going from my current -5's which are at there limit to something with a bit more spice would be good upgrade path without costing 10k to convert to single.

I have a GPS tracker as well and use a trickle charger on a new battery (well not so new now). Unfortunately you know that the tracker is running 24/7 and this requires current - this WILL drain the battery if the car is not used. It should be over a week on a small battery (like mine). If youre not driving a car its advised to use a trickle charger anyway. Thanks.

Those aussie rules :P. NZ just get it certified for a single and not have to worry at all. Means no screamer though or just put that on after the cert.

Im in Auckland,NZ so no .

rear housing size?

hahaha i really need to drive a single turbo 2.6 to see what its like. I have a 400kw R32 with -5's and although i know they are laggy i dont find it a pig. I suppose you dont know what you dont know right

Its something that was in my mind when i built my car. GTR's meant to be twin turbo and 2.6L. If i had my time over again (was 7 years ago) and i was 29 and naïve i would have gone single turbo and 2.8L at least.

This is for the guys that will restore and keep for another 10-15 years when they are work 1+m hahahhaa.

Everyone goes on about the 30 torque etc. I have been in a big power 30 so I have no opinion but if the internet is right you will be disappointed haha.

Yeah if i was to do my build again id still go 26 block in my R32 but id prob go a nitto 2.8 stroker. Everything fits under the bonnet and you get a decent bump inpower/torque. I would also use a PRP brace.

Yeh Herman made a comment on a facebook saying they will be ready next year. Interesting to see how good they are as i have already cracked on block in my life.

On another note PRP Aus are developing a new block - i think aimed at more street cars as cast RB blocks are weak and getting harder to find. Unsure if its just a 30 block or a 26. One to keep an eye on.

Yeah huge cost and for what - why not just use a PRP Block brace and machine a new block? i feel for your street car with odd track day you will keep block twist to a minimum and save a tone of cash in the process and could still throw a few extra PSI at it.

I understand they run 10-15 deg hotter too. But you can control that with oil coolers with fans etc. Im sure i have seen GTR's in Aussie (street cars) with billet blocks. MSMRH8 from motorsport mechanical runs a billet block i think.

Holy block hole batman. Has the engineer looked at that crank - im pretty sure that wont be as straight as you think haha?

Yeh it does look awesome - considering the are new parts from ford aussie as well. Please review them if you do install them. I might have to also place an order - just need some bigger wheels as well.

Anyone hear used the Alpha Omega Racing Ford Falcon 6pot Brembo upgrade kit for their GTR? http://alphaomegaracing.com/p/219/c/73/Z33/Brembo/R35-Brembo-Killers.html Looks good and is far cheaper than buying second hand R35 Brembo's.

I am changing turbos for sure now.
