Being a noob i like the idea of the HKS kit as i know i'll have all the bits and pieces i need. I there a complete gasket/stud/nut etc installation kit for the garretts? Where from? Group buy has the garretts at $2150, and IIRC the HKS kit is over $3K.

garret tubos dont come with gaskets

My T04Z did.

Nothing else, but. Figure on a couple of hundred bucks plus whatever the aggravation's worth to you

for water and oil lines, then take a look at Nengun or Greenline or Perfectrun for a cheater price on the HKS kit.

Are the 2860-7 basically GT-SS equivalents? If I've done my currency conversion properly the GT-SS kit for a GT-R is about $A2.5k from Greenline...

With the 2860-5's that I'm installing, I went with the hks turbine gasket and bolt set from nengun, then just had to buy the exhaust manifold to head gaskets from nissan.

It would be just as easy to get the gaskets and bits you need locally as they wouldn't amount to a huge cost. All parts are stock items, just need to oval the bolt holes on the oil drains for the slightly wider spacings.

Err yeah, that's why i'm asking if there is a kit....

They're both 300/310hp turbos, so very similar AFAICT.

Nengun is the same for the base kit, but it comes to $3250 when you include delivery and the import duties.

Yeah my GT30 came with gaskets and i know others who get them too... some people obviously are unsure what they speak of :domokun:

There is no "kit" as such available. You need to buy everything like banjo washers etc

Yeah 2.5k from greenline is the purchase price, shipping, duties etc its 3k or there abouts.

im about to a set of 2860-7 myself, noticed kudo motorsports have a kit for these for couple hundred (gaskets, bolts/nuts)

is this all i need as I assume std oil/water lines are fine, main concern is dump pipes, any modification need to fit these..

still undecided on a/m dump pipes, have read hks ones are not so good, tomei's rule but expensive and few ppl have said stock dumps arent that bad.. 33GTR dumps are an option due to better design?

R33 dumps are an option, im using them on mine and ive been assured they will be fine when i chase more power, so i cant argue with the person who's done a number of tests in that area.

Oil/water bolt up no worries, the dumps dont need any mods either.

You just need new gaskets for everything, copper washers for the banjo's and that sort of thing. Nothing else really as they are a bolt on

i got my 2860-7s at GCG turbos they sorted out all of the relevant parts and gaskets for a reasonable price, also got their version of dump pipes which are split type for a good price. Just remind them that the o2 sensor fittings need a reducer for the r32.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
