Don't mean to be rude but your expectations are a little high, I am not sure if that setup will produce that kind of power.

 I'M NOT REALLY SURE. IM NOT JUST PUTTING A TURBO IN I'M DOING A FEW OTHER THINGS TO. NISTUNE COMPUTER, FORGED PISTONS, CAMSHAFT, VSLVES PORT AND POLISHED, INJECTORS, AND WHATEVER ELSE I CANT THINK OFF. BUT TO BE HONEST I DONT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I'LL POST UP MY BEFORE AND AFTER DYNO RESULTS WHEN I GETG THEM.

arnt these setups really laggy?? non responsive?
I SUPPOSE THERE WILL BE LAG, BUT ILVE GOT A GT3082 WITH THE HOUSING BROUGHT OUT OR SOMETHING. ITS GOING INTO AN AUTO SO I'M PUTTING IN A STALL CONVERTER OF ABOUT 2500RPM, MY MECHANIC SAYS THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SPOOL UP THE TURBO AND BE BOOSTING FROM THE START LINE. I'LL LET YA KNOW WHEN I GET IT BACK.

looks like i've got a few people interested in this now. Does any one know of anyone else running this setup. I don't know of any others in tas. Just spoke to my mechanic on the phone and he said the turbo is in and very tidy. He's just waiting on some engine parts then we can slap it back together and throw it on the dyno!

Don't need an intercooler as the turbo is at the very back of the exhaust system. It replaces the muffler. And because the air intake will be pretty much straight off the turbo it will be stone cold air. I live in tassie which means the air is generally very cold.

ah, my mechanic thinks we won't need one, it should cool down alot on it way back up to the engine but we'll see how it goes. If i need one i'll get one. Or if it's gonna improve performance i'll likely get one.

These turbo kits sound like a great idea for a non turbo car no changing manifold etc. Was your engine originally n/a?

And as for room in the engine that really wouldn't be an issue in any skyline as all shapes have come in turbo format.

These kits do sound interesting so even I am looking forward to your relsults.

However given you will need fabricated inlet piping you should throw an intercooler on there. Just by a used gtr one for a couple of hundred bucks. I doubt the piping will cost too much extra given you will already have to get fabricated piping made up.

Post up updates when available.

I'm still trying to get my head around the whole thing.

would this setup be incredibly laggy?

givin such a long intake path, espicially with an intercooler in there...

And would there be a major change of exhaust pressure to spin the turbine due to the increased distance from the "bang"? But then the gasses would have cooled down considerably before hitting the turbo...

They seem to do ok on auto cars with big stall converters in the states, but they have all been on 350+cube V8s, might work ok on a drag car, but would be horrid with a manual gearbox.

Either way I cant see it building boost at 2500rpm with a GT3082

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
