White GTR V-Spec from Sunny coast, Lowered 19" 3 piece lowenharts, etc etc

Hi All, Matt from sunny coast, Driving White R33 GTR V-spec 19" Chrome Dished Lowenharts HKS Badge on rear GREDDY on front screen Hope to see some of you out there!!

Bugger!! First assumption lead to going for -5's, mainly due to the extra hp you can from them, the more hp the faster the car, not entirely true i start to learn, after reading the later replies i understand more about where the power from the -5's is unleashed, and where it will indeed leave the -7's+-9's behind, Maybe for me -7's might be the way to go, as it's more about 1st 2nd 3rd + it would seem you get much quicker response / less lag, i know it depends on your supporting mods as well but in general i speak. Still bothers me about the limit of where you can go with -7's though, and through what ive read about people reaching the boundaries of there power limit, i am like most people on here, pleased with the new stuff at the time but always want to get quicker and quicker,

A little more boost, a better launch (ie a 1.6ish 60') and 17 inch tyres should see well into the 11's! Guess my 19's are slowing me down a fair bit then, I Curently run a safe 1bar which is 14psi?? would it be unsafe to raise to 18?? until i install new turbos, don't want to damage my engine for tiny power increase.

Sorry maybe i should have stated 250 awkw and that aim is for power at wheels not motor, i indeed did just put hp which i understand is not specific. Thanks for all feedback, I Think most people would lean towards -5's but of course everyone has different preferences much appreciated feedback from a question most of you would have answered many times.

Thank you, -7 or -5's whats 7 & 5 stand for size of some sort, any disadvantage going for which ever one is largest, lol! And yes mainly street, untill i get regular time to visit a track, looking forward to going not just for me but to see some great cars! untill then its work work work.... Thanks for the 2c i am now concentrating on my quest to get to 500.. not 800

Point taken, Obviously no point putting huge hp turbo's on stockish motor and tunning gradualy Just needed to be told.. May i ask what you feel the main drawbacks of having 800hp in street form, is it power range, low rev driveability, clutch / drive, torque lack from 2.6ltr.

All the best and Good luck.. Thanks Adam, Thanks for keeping it simple for me, The car is and will be used mainly on the street, however once bigger hp is achieved and as i have more time i aim to get some time on the track, This is my 2nd R33 GTR, and have spent the last 2 years or so making sure everything is in good running order, have added full cat back exhaust, k+n's, bov's and haltech e11 v2, car is looked after regular by a company called APC in Brisbane, last dyno made 250kw on safe 1bar. So i am going to need, fuel pump, injectors and the turbo's (to start) Garrett 2860R-7's would be the choice then? Fmic + cams to follow i guess, The second list of mods was this to get towards 500kw not 500hp? only ask because list 1 takes up to estimated of course 340kw which is getting close to 460hp I am now aiming towards the 500 mark, and will study brake and clutch upgrades, i guess the gearbox changes when i break the old one? -7 and -5 is it just a size difference? obviously 1 produces more hp Best place to source them, or should i get the garage to? I Live on Sunshine coast and always have to travel to get car done, is there any trusted GTR mechanics closer to home you know of?? Thanks for your help

I honestly dont see your point/logic at all. Thanks for your reply, I understand you don't see my point/logic, this is probably because you have a far better understanding of engine modifications than me, I have a good knowledge of cars but suffer badly in technical /correct mechanics, however still get the point you are making about the spend, I Hope to learn much more here reading and occasionally asking questions, think it would be to long winded to list what i don't know, but if you don't ask you don't get a response..

[Thanks for the point in right direction.

A Question much asked i guess. Would like some feedback on which way to go when upgrading my turbo's Car is 1995 GTR V-spec with 80k in good mech order, I am looking at replacing turbo's very soon (nothing wrong with old ones just need more hp) thinking that 500hp should be a reasonable figure to aim for, The problem is i don't want to have change (buy) new ones again a year later on my quest for more power, so is it possible to get the correct maybe larger turbo(s) from the start?? something that would be good for around 800-850hp? eventualy of course, i am well aware it's not just a case of bolting a new one on and away you go, thoughts on injectors etc and other neccessay mods, pro's and cons of having too big a turbo without using its full capacity untill other parts in place, I Have read many threads with interest but looking for some personal feedback, I am not even sure whether to stick with twins or go large single, always thought twins would be more driveable with big hp, but have been advised to go single for better driveability. Thanks in advance.
