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

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

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have a wheel cleaner pokie thing which is a glorified microfibre rag on a stick, and there is not sufficient clearance between the caliper and the barrel to clean that section. I just roll the car forward 500mm and have another shot at each wheel.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By The Bogan · Posted

      The "rag on a stick" is a easy way to fit in between the wheel spokes into all of the barrel Albeit I do have 10 spokes on the MX5 which limits the access to actually jam my hand in to clean the barrel, but it was also makes much easier to clean the 5 spokes on the Dunnydoore with it as well, as you don't have to worry the  caliper getting in the way if you have at least about 15mm space between the caliper and barrel This of course depends if you actually have the clearance between the barrel and caliper, and the amount of OCD you have to get the barrels as clean and shiny as the face of the wheel The thing is bendy as well so you can actually shape it to conform to the inner lip of the barrel

      Alarm/immobiliser recomendations for an R33

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW, as well as a basic immobiliser/remote unlock (all basic units give you those 2 things), I would also install a 4g tracker in any car I cared about. Just hide it anywhere that won't be found in a rushed look and preferably get something with a built in battery backup so it stays online for a while when the battery is removed or flat While its not a car, when our car trailer was stolen in that den of crime Sydney about a decade ago, the cops were watching from the bloke's neighbour's lawn within about 2 hours until he started swapping the plates and putting up the gumtree ad.   Obviously it is still not undefeatable (eg parking it up for a few days somewhere without sky sight) but it greatly improves your chances of getting it back quickly and with less damage

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Instead of magic keyphrases I wonder if something can be done with auto complete. Similar to how user names are handled already. When you type '@' and follow with letters, it'll search across all usernames. It might work to have the same for forum topics. Some key to trigger it and then text search across all thread names and it'll insert the name and URL when pressing enter.
