Better match for the 3L IMO.

Better match for the 3litre than what options? I'm not solid on the HKS equivalents for those power levels these days, reckon there are lots of good units out there. One of the cooler new beasties to hit the market I reckon is the Forced Performance GT3794HTA... though if you want something physically big and aren't shy to pay the bling (as buying the HKS T51R would imply) I'd really look at the new Garrett GTX4294Rs. How awesome would that be? ;)

Looking for something around the 800hp mark with a bit of response.

Looked at so far:

HKS T51R KAI

Turbonetics Hurricane (Benita) BB

Precision PT6765SP Billet BB

There is a fairly big price difference between the HKS turbo and the other two. But the T51R has the turbo whine that im after. ;)

Turbine whine is easy to sort out, just get anything which a decent antisurge setup ;) The GT3794HTA and the Garrett GTX4294HTA both have antisurge housings but are actually a little quiet probably due to the compressor design, PT6765 are also pretty quiet and the 3794HTA make more power - fwiw.

Borg Warner S300SX 91/79 could be fun as well - the Borgs are cheap and pretty tough and rowdy :banana:

The BW 366XL looks the goods but they are only oil cooled and journal bearing.

Do they make water cooled BB?

I wouldn't get too wound up about ball bearing vs plain bearing, there are quite a few journal bearing turbo combinations out there which give the BB Garretts a run for their money.... pay attention to the reliability/performance/owners comments of turbo combinations instead of what the marketing say. In terms of non-water cooling, what are you intending on using it for?

A bit of everything really. Powerful enough to put down a decent time but responsive enough to give the circuit ago.

This Supra seems to be fairly responsive with 760hp. And a circuit car too.

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
