Hi all,

I'm just after some opinions of what turbo's (read low mounts that bolt to stock manifolds) would be best for me. My motor is freshly built with all the good stuff, and just in the process of getting the head ported and installing some cams (still undecided, need suggestions as to what would work best)

I want 700awhp @ 2bar max and i was thinking either the HKS GT-RS or Trust T618Z, redline is set at 7500. What are peoples experiences with these turbo's, and what are their characterisitics i.e when do they come onto boost, how much can they flow @ what boost etc. Also the car's being set-up for track & hill climbs, so i require half decent response.

It'd be ideal if someone could suggest what turbo and cam combo will be best for my motor and power goal.

cheers

Shane

either are a really big twin combo, i hope you dont expect them to come on anytime soon. do a search for twin GT-RS's i think 600HP has them and i think OZGTR97V tried them as well (said too big for 2.6, more like 2.8 stroker).

twin 2530s will give you good response and and really good midrange, plently for hill climbs etc. 700awhp is silly for hillclimbs. for hillclimbs boost repsonse is very very important, running large twin trust's or gt-rs's isn't going to cut it, far too laggy.

i would suggest focusing more on midrange and average power

yeah i saw the 3 litre later on. see if you can find out what a/r the gt-rs's are and aim a tiny bit lower than that perhaps? you should defintely do the split dumps/fronts (trust ones i think are the bee's knee's) and ensure a big exhaust from the cats back

Its GT-RS... and i remember you saying a while back you refused to pay the HKS pricetag... so...

Not sure how your gonna get yourself outta that McPickle.

I got ya on that one :)

But yeah, its GT-RS's for you Shane. There really isnt an option.

Even with a 26/30, over 500rwkw is not going to be your friend for hillclimbs ;)

Track, it should be alright, but you've still got another 20k to spend on brakes and suspension to get the power to the ground :P

Your basically trying to do what the Racepace GTR has done IMO, and that is a 6 figure car

already have hks split dumps, and hks tuned length front pipes, and 3.5inch cat back

thanks for the feedback :sleep:

hahah i know, and i still havnt changed my mind, its just easier to say hks gt-rs instead of the garrett spiel :)

So then the t618z arent in the same game as the gt-rs? i saw a dyno graph from an autobarn, showing the t618z on a built motor (more than likely stroker) with 280 10.8 cams, and made 300kw @ 4750 and 516kw @ 7500 (or near on). That's probably the figures id like, but if the gt-rs can make the same, and a bit earlier, thatd be the choice. what do you think?

All of this work so far has been out of my own pocket, so i'll be needing to source some form of 'sponsorship' down the track, for when the really expensive stuff breaks :P

Have you thought about Garrett 2860R -10's (707160-10) ? Spec-wise they appear to be very similar to the GT-RS's.

thanks for the link, great site! yep they are the ones id be going if i were to go the 'gt-rs' route.

Heres that dyno graph i mentioned earlier

have you thought about things like brakes, suspension, diff, gearbox, transfer case, etc etc all the drivetrain parts? as running 500awkw on stock gtr running gear thats 16 years old is a bit of a concern.

You need bridged mainfolds for those size low mounts. Dirtgarge had or have GT-RS

If that is a graph of there car they had GT-RS turbos last time i heard.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
