hi there,i want to run a big single turbo on my GTR,first question is running a big turbo on a gtr is it required that i rebuild the motor,or maybe the question is whats the biggest turbo i can run on a standard motor,im not opening the motor yet apart from HKS step 2 cams and gears.i do understand its not going to get much boost in a standard motor,but i want to see what i can make without opening the bottom end.the cams will help with high cylinder pressures

i have a T88-34D and can also get a GT45.and iv heard i can get a TO4Z

i know what the first question will be and yes i dont care about lag,there will be heaps and i know,i use to own and pilot a 7 second rx3,so i know what it takes to drive something like this.

im not new to GTRs but have always just been a sheep and run small singles.i want big.

any and all advise is greatly appreciated .

You can make any figure, how long will it last though?

If you want it to last - GT35, about as big as you can push a stock bottom end reliably.

Otherwise, if you have the money there for the rebuild, boost away with whatever your wallet can afford

Big turbos... which make big power... and stock bottom ends, don't last. So no point having a big turbo if your not chasing big power

Im running a t04z on my GTR and it goes good. After a few problems with fuel delivery i've now got 337awkw's at 14psi. Stock bottom end with 260 Tomei poncams , Vipec ecu and supporting mods.

It is abit laggy, fullboost is at 4500rpm which isnt too bad, considering the n1 turbos i was running before was 4000rpm.

But im not going to be running anymore boost until i rebuild the engine as it simply wont last.

i just spoke to my machanic and he sugested the to4z.he said 350-375 kws....

im also looking at a GT45,the machanic has a R33 GTR with one of these big boys on it,runs 18psi and make over 650hp.

yes the bottom end is done but it was metioned that it was driveing on 12psi for 12 months making 510hp all day everyday before the bottom end rebuid.

350-370rwkw is right in the meat for GT35 territory mate :nyaanyaa:

a T04Z will run off 440rwkw, so unless your looking for that...

There is a big thread on GT35/T04Z going at the moment with lots of information for either side so you can make your own call there

      My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
