T88 Time On Our Gtr

[600hp]

Hi huys for now we are going with a T88 kit which we purchased from doughboy, off this forum.

Again anyone how has delt with chris will know that he has to be one of the best peopl eto deal with when buying car parts.

Thanks again Chris.

anyway

we purchased a T88-33D kit with a Sard wastegate.

We are just getting the kit cleaned and, sandblasted and then ceramic coated.

I'll get some photos up once the kit is put back together all nice and clean.

I thinkthis will be a good test to see what the results are like compared to GT-SS turbos to the T88.

Cheers

Is that a T88-33D or a T88-34D?

i see 33D too

good luck with it, just wondering y the extreme change from the most streetable turbos on the market to the most laggiest of the lot? more power i guess? surely u aint gonna be using the t88 to its potential so y not something b/b and abit smaller, or isnt lag an issue?

cheers

33D does exist, but is an old discontinued model from Trust with a different compressor housing A/R. Just wondering if this is what 600hp meat to say.

I'd say with their motor combination they'll probably hit the limit of the turbo, and it will be a good showcase for Hypertune's range of products. I suppose their goals might be a bit more realistic than, say hypothetically, stuffing a big dollar race quality motor into an 1800kg grocery getter? Don't Coles carparks have a 15km/h speed limit?

Australia has for decades modded family cars and i think most of us would love a monster 4WD wagon.

Especially when all our locally made "high performance" cars were based on family cars....

maybe cause i want something different, not just another gtr. i want to park it up with people not knowing its fast, which cant be said for any model skylines and people automatically think they are fast, hence more getting stolen, or damaged from jeleous morons.

the motor wont always be in the stagea anyway, as it come out of a vl calais b4, and 2wd is just a waste of time, and r32 gtrs r too old with things looking dated (interior wise) and i dont like 33's at all, and 34's r mad but way too pricey.

i wasnt personally having a dig at 600hp's setup, i only asked the question as to why he went sooo big that was all? its pretty lame that u get shit from just asking a simple question, isnt that the point of the forums?

are we all supposed to just say thats awesome, and never find out y he is actually choosing it?

[Cool Hand Luke]

I agree with you cruiseliner... but you take the good with the bad. Although quite opinionated, this forum would have the most open minded (and knowledgable) people that i've seen on any forum... and thats why i think its one of the best. Bring up something like what BOV sounds the best and its a different story tho

[discopotato03]

Out of curiosity what sort of airflow and power potential is a T88 33D good for ?

Cheers A .

[600hp]

Sorry for the slow reply.

the reason we went with the T88 is because we were maxing out the GT-SS we believe, and our engine was built for 800hp.

with the T88 onboard we will rev the engine up to 9500rpm were as now its only 8500rpm.

The 33d is the smallest so, with our engine combo it might not be as laggy as some think.

All we know is no one who has a engine the as the same spec as ours has gone from GT-SS's to a 33D turbo kit, I'm looking foward to seeing what the results are.

Yes there will be more lag but a GTR engine was designed to rev. With our SS turbos max power was at 7500rpm.

I'm sure the max power of the 33D is about 850-880ps.

We will be running up the car with the JUN plenum then with the Hypertune plenum and 97mm TB.

we may also be going to a 150mm intercooler as well.

Sounds awesome - good luck with it all.

Do you have any pics of the car in question?

I went for a drive in a gold GTR with this turbo on it. OMG is all i can say

[Guest Mashrock]

i'm starting to like this big single setups going around!

get some of that hks vcam - and give yourself some low down also!

[600hp]

Just wondering what other cars on this forum have a setup somewhere near the same as ours which has a T88 on it or something else big.

I went for a spin with Dexter in his Maroon R32 with a 2.7ltr kit and t88-33d.....response was great...top end was awesome. Ben id say you have made a wise choice with the 33d mate...can't wait to view the results.

[600hp]

Thanks for that, anout time someone was keen to see how the kits goes on a built engine.

I might stick in a set of jun titaium retainers soon after the kit goes in so we can rev it out to say 9500.
