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.

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
