There is nothing wrong with 400rwkw....well unless you want more :D

Why not try the T517Z? I had them on my old setup and was able to put out 422rwkw on Willallracing dyno. The setup was a fun and reliable package for drag/circuit for 2 years aldready.

I upgraded the engine and maxed out these turbo with my current setup. I am looking at getting the T618Z's. I will use the T517Z for one more track day and will more than likely replace them with their larger bros. Does anyone have a pair of T618Z that they want to swap for a pair of T517Z? GTR747, if you are keen on these turbo or my complete old setup let me know. I changed the engine because the cam seals were old and a bit leaky but other than that the engine was still strong ;) I still have the power fc map for this setup. All you need to do is recondition the head, replace the rings, get a pair of manifold and you will have a reliable setup. My car and the spare RB26 are in SA atm too ;)

BTW sorry to go off topic but just want to help ;)

Thanks guys for all your help - im going with the GT-SS kit poss from nengun. Does anyone know if i'll be hit with any import tax's or anything? I have done some research and so far its been a mixed bag of answers.

anything over $1000 will attract duty.

Customs aren't silly.

They know all the people sending stuff in from JPN, so you'll be lucky if you get around it for turbos

come on, dont let them change your goal

you've gone down from 400 to 300 :D

go HKS 2530's, has both response and top end power

there's always room to improve your kw down the track, whereas with GT-SS, you won't improve much more than 330rwkw

what he said...2530's need 2bar of boost to do 400AWKW so its really stretching them too. GT-RS turbo's are the king of bolt on turbo's...currently powering the fastest bolt on turbo GTR on the planet.

save yourself some headaches, heartache's and lots of time and stress. Sell all the gear you have and buy our car...simple 500kw all day every day at a lowly 25psi.

Funny Funny lol but its true fastest bolt GTR on the planet

Im not saying i'll get around it, just how much duty it will attract roughly :rolleyes:

wow I never knew the 517z were capable of that much power...at what boost ? I always thought for those sort of numbers a 518Z was required....awesome result

hmmmmmmmmmm....a gift ay, :(

I didn't think they T517Z's were capable of that much power either !!!! :P

if your interested in buying from japan can i suggest emailing Streeter (he normally trades on ns.com) far far more reliable and cheaper then neugun. his email address is [email protected]

awesome reputation also so have no fear ordering from him

+1

best and cheapest way to gets stuff from from yahoo auctions, with the least hassles, even if you speak japanese :)

Remember whith trust t517z you need trust dumps becuase the internal wastegate is on the opposite side to garret trubo, so you need dump pipes to suit..

9krpm, your turbo's are still T517z just with a 10cm housing, they also come in a 8cm housing, much like you can get say a garrett 3071r in a .64, .81, .96 housings ect

wow I am really impressed by these T517Z's....Anybody else got any experience with them ? or maybe with the 518Z ? They seem to be a fair bit cheaper than equivalent HKS and yet perform every bit as good and maybe better..But last I heard was they dont come with water cooling...is this correct ? As a circuit/Street car oil coolers would then be even more critical...I am assuming

I would love to hear more about the T518Z too. I have a Greddy oil cooler kit and the oil temp has been fine at QR raceway. I only overheated once at Mallala but that was possibly from air in my coolant system.

Thanks for the info Daynamix;) I thought they are T5178Z all along :)

How is this differ from a T618Z and what would I expect with the larger turbo?

BTW the previous power was achieved with 18psi.

Some people call them either T5178z ot a T51710z, the last numbers which are 8 and 10 on both the names i mentioned refer to what size housing they are, eg T5178z would have the 8cm housing, and 10 would be the 10cm housing.. The differences between the T517z and the T618z would be like the difference between HKS GT-SS and GT-RS turbos.. T618z would be to big for the rb26, as they're the biggest low mounts trust make and would be suitable for a 2.8 stroker, just keep you current one's, they're a great bit of gear, i'm tossing up weather to run them on my next gt-r..

URAS will be able to give you some more info on these turbo's as he's built an rb26 s13 with these turbo's for driftcat..

Cheers.

Thanks Dyn. I bought a slightly stroked engine from Willallracing and have maxed out the T517Z. They currently have awesome midrange but are choking my top end. I can't produce any more top end power with them compare to the 2.6L. My tuner is tweaking it atm and I will see how it perform at the track.....but I think I will go bigger eventually :)

Customs are silly and there is no duty on turbo's GST yes Duty no definitely not.

They tried to slug me duty and as I know people in the import export trade i asked they they knew straight away

Get a good customs broker and they will tell you the same

cant get around GST though

    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
