Well it seems that at my last outing to winton raceway my turbos decided that enough was enough.

so im now looking to upgrade a bit. the thing that im having trouble deciding weather to stick with the twins setup or to go big single...

if its going to be twins, im looking at the garret 2860-7's.

i want something that going to give me good power/torque, without sacrificing response. the car does see a bit of track work...

but ive always liked the idea of the single turbo with the external gate screamer (love the noise!!!).

has anyone got any suggestions on what i can go for?

cheers.

matty.

You know what, i was gonna go for the HKS gt-ss kit but with all the trouble from EPA today its best to for for garrett stuff because if you do wind up in a testing booth, they will only see the garrett logo and think its stock.

everyone so far is saying the -7's are the bomb for track and street + add some cams for a little extra top end and your there.

I wanted a big single sooooo badly for the gate and look but honestly, after my recent exhaust EPA im sick to death of dealing with all the bullshit so stick to the lowmounts.

Ummm have you even looked @ GT-SS turbos?

They only have Garrett markings on them, Garrett housings etc.

Fact. Ive seen them, i have them.

Either way, GT-SS are not affordable anymore with the yen the way it is.

-7's all the way. You don't need cams.

so it looks like im on the money then. :(

its currently got the N1's on it, with 20 psi of boost the car made 310kw at the rears. what sort of power should i expect to se out of the 2860-7's with similar or less boost?

a bit of a curley one i know but im just after a ball park figure. im hoping for about 350kw (bearing in mind im getting larger injectors done at the same time.). do you think im dreaming, and what size injectors should i go for?

cheers.

near enough to the same really, GT-SS make around 330rwkw or so.

Depends on the dyno more than anything.

The -5's (next step up) will make 350, but they are good for a bit more, but then you hurt response so thats where the question lies

it seems the that -7's are the go,

would 700cc injectors sufice, or would i need bigger?

also is it worth spending the extra money on cams as well, or will the good ol' standards do the job?

700cc is fine, and standard cams will work a treat ;)

NA - Not Applicable! :bunny:

As for you conrad... i suggest rather than buying really expensive STI parts to make your car something its not, just get the genuine article. or at least get a real car... you can only abuse an "STI enhanced" badge so much! :bunny:

Shepo - I would have brought an STi, but the bank was being a complete tightass that day!! And "Expensive" parts?? That's what I have you for!!! Full retail is for chumps... And who needs an STi motor... I have my SHARPIE TUNE to take care of that department!!!

But then again. Whose car is running...? Hmmmm?

  • 3 weeks later...

Just thought i would update for those who may be interested.

im going ahead with the 2860-7 turbo's. also sard 800cc injectors (probrobly overkill, but better safe than sorry in my opinion.) and lastley getting a trust stainless steel intake piping kit.

once done, should be good for a bit more power. :P

will keep you all posted as things progress along. let me know your thoughts.

cheers,

matty.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
