Wouldn't the manifold you buy be dictated by the turbo and rear housing you choose? You're chasing 'early spool' so it would make sense to choose a T4 TS manifold for a T4 TS turbine housing.

Surely if someone can warrant a billet block, the idea of that car being a daily driver is long gone. It’s a toy that’s taken out when you want. It can still be a street car. 🤷‍♂️

Guys, Item 1: Porter cable 7424 XP variable speed random orbital polisher Link: 6 in. Variable-Speed Random Orbit Polisher | PORTER-CABLE (portercable.com) Item 2: Tortech SD110 - 1010W transformer Link: TORTECH SD110-1010W 1010W USA STEPDOWN TRANSFORMER 110V DIELECTRICALLY ISOLATED - Radio Parts Location: Moorebank, Sydney 2170. Preferred pick up due to thew weight of the transformer. I will post at buyers expense. Condition. Have used both roughly 5 times each to polish my own GTR, so the KMS on them are minimal. What is shown in the photos is what you will receive. Price: $100 for both. PM if interested. NOTE: DO NOT message me saying you will take it and then just go MIA. Seeling stuff is enough of a pain in the ass without having that dribble going on.

GTII-SS is a glorified SS/-9 with lazy journal bearings. It wouldn’t be hard to beat it. Stockers are average at best, lazy, laggy, soft as a sponge cake under foot and boring. Going bigger just makes the whole turd system worse. Josh, so throw a vcam at a stock 2.6 with a budget gtx gen2 3071 (insert your flavour of snail brand) open scroll, let alone a TS setup. I would bet my own car that it would kick the shit out of a SS/-9/ whatever the latest shit offerings that HKS have on offer, out of the park.

Considering Voodoo‘s results using a Gen2 3576, something along the lines of a Gen2 3071/G series 660/ EFR 7163 or something similar would be right up the alley for the goal here. Depending on how fancy your want to get, go all in with a TS manifold (not sure why if you’re doing the swap you wouldn’t go that extra step as you’re buying a manifold and rear housing to suit anyway). Between buying and optimising all the junk needed for a twin setup… dumps, front pipes, playing with the twin turbo pipe, potentially AFM’s, hard pipe kit and the turbos themselves, going from a totally stock car to a single there wouldn’t be that much price difference. Couldn’t be assed sitting here and working it out. An open scroll 3576 is doing it’s thing by high 3000’s on a stock donk, drop down a couple snail sizes to fall in line with what a typical -7/-9 setup would do and the result would take a big steamy turd of the twin buttplugs. The thing is guys don’t buy a turbo that’s the same flow rate as what the twin turds will flow, it’s always more.

Remove 8374, replace with 7670, G series/PTE/choose your poison equivalent. Bit silly to be running such a large snail that’s capable north of 500awkw like a church mouse sneezing then complaining that the -7’s which is basically a stock sized snail (N1’s) do the low end stuff better. 😖

The GT series link you provided is for the larger -5’s. https://www.turbomaster.info/eng/applications/707160-0009.php link for -7’s.

You’d get to know how far you need/want to be behind the car in front before it slows down. Adaptive brain for adaptive cruise? 🤣🤪

What’s the limit of boost at 9.0:1? Very curious to know.

Only way to know for sure is to measure it up. There are soooooo many variables here. - has the block been decked? - has the head been decked? - head gasket thickness? You could put the valve recesses into the pistons yourself.

You don't know its there until you go round a corner and realise how shit the factory front diff is. Hands down THE BEST mod you can do to a GTR. No engine should be put back in it's hole till you have an aftermarket centre. Don't over think it, just do it. There is NO chatter or downsides. Report back after you have driven it. *Had one in the car since 2012.

Recirc return pipe.

It would be

Is that like there won’t be a single turbo installed on your car?

There was no way a 6466 was going back on this engine. what turbine housing on the 6870?

15%. Yeah right. Against what? If you’re going to claim something that big then some evidence should be a given.

The head that HKS did for me back in 2010 did add a fitting in the back of the head. -8 line around the front and tee’d in somewhere. Can’t remember where. No idea if it does anything or not.

I have ran a Nismo slave with a coppermix for a decade/35,000 kms with no problems.

Any update here? 🤣

That extra idler seemed to do the job on my McNugget.

Until the passenger side one is in two pieces, like the OEM ones. Don't bother is my advice. Put something that isn’t held together by cheese.

Who doesn’t own a laptop in 2022, Duncan?

Yeah clutch and fan together. Fan blades would be lucky to be 5000 kms old.
