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.

I DO APPOLOGIZE FOR THE CAPS BUT I'M USING MY PHONE AND I CAN'T WORK OUT HOW TO TURN IT OFF. HAVEN'T GOT A BUILD THREAD, WHAT FORUM DO I PUT THAT IN? VERY NEW TO THE SITE SORRY.

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

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
