Hey guys I've done a little bit of research as soon enough my engine build will start to take place.

I've got an R32 GTR with standard running gear with a bigger intercooler that came with the car and an exhaust system (cat back).

As I use it on the street (not everyday) I don't want huge power but I want it to go hard. I have read up on some twin turbo kits by Garrett such as GT28's and HKS 2530's. I'm not sure what is better/more efficiant for my build to go single or twin turbo.

First things I aim to do are upgrade the entire exhaust system, bigger injectors, computer ECU setup, cams and some other necessary odds and ends.

So I guess I'm asking for suggestions and personal experiences on either, single or twin turbo setups; and what size to run with the setup I plan on doing.

Any input would be muchly appreciated. (Y)

Agreed.

First thing have a look through the dyno thread and see what power figures people are making and decide what power figure you want. Then start researching what turbos make that power figure most effectively and what additional parts are required. Do the math on the costs and see how you go.

Hope you're ready to spend some coin.

Taking a stock gtr, and building the motor, then upgrading all the other systems to handle a reliable amount of power to make it feel like it goes hard will cost at least $20k.

It's definatly a choice you've got to really make seriously.

As Ash said there's heaps of info on the forums, spend some time having a look around, good luck with it :nyaanyaa:

Depends on what your goal is...

Circuit, Street, Drag...

If you want to join the RH9 Club then go Single. (Drag)

But if it was me, I am all about Response / Balance.

Twin Low Mounts would suite me fine on street and circuit.

All the mods you listed you will need to do if you are going to go a head with the turbo upgrade.

Depending what you want to determine your turbo setup.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
