Guys finally want to rebuild my engine and move back to twin again, this time top mount two turbos and planing to install two KKR480 ? looking for some wise opinions

Goal is less lag, small boost with max power up to 500hp

Don't bother with high mounts.

Its a large amount of extra engineering you don't really need or want, unless of course you want high mounts for the sake of high mounts.

For below 500hp atw look at.

-7 x 2

-9 x 2

HKS GT-SS x 2

34N1 x 2

None of these will make 500 atw on pump fuel but you did say "max power upto 500"

For a proper 500 atw + possibility for alot more look at:

t517z x 2

HKS2530's

-5

HKS GT-RS

There are a large number of other options also but these are generally the more common ones.

500hp - so 330rwkw

GT-SS or Garrett -9

They are your only choice.

Putting 2x KKR480's on there is the dumbest idea I have heard in a while. 2x 480hp turbos for 500hp?

You'll probably make over 450rwkw. But it will be the most unresponsive 450rwkw+ you'd ever see as they are a terrible turbo for response in single form... Let alone having two of them. I'd say at LEAST 5,000rpm before you see anything useful.

You mean 500hp at the crank ash ?

500hp is 375kw I don't think GT-SS or -9 will get you there but definitely to 330rwkw no problems.

I wasn't sure whether he meant at the wheels or engine either .. ?

NFI either, saying '500HP' would be at the motor in the normal world.

which is pretty much spot on the -9 marker, they will make a tad more, but on target with what was asked... that's if its now rwhp of course.

either way for 500HP or 500rwhp, 2x kkr480 is ridiculous.

i suspect he said two, given he already has one, and wants to do it on the cheap... which just ain't gonna happen.

yeah the GTSS will give you a comfortable 550hp at the engine. even a bit more if you want to push them hard. for 600hp+ you want 2530s.. after that.... well there is no shortage of proven twin turbo options for GTRs.

Agree.

The only reason you would bother going highmounts is because you are using turbos so large you cannot mount them in the normal configuration Ala most of the early Japanese drag GT-R's.

There are ofcourse other engineering reasons for it in certain cases however this is not one of those times....

thanks guys for reply :) that is not my first time with masturbating with rb :) wanna proceed little bit more :):( Just wanted to know, am on the way to rebuild my engine and had single turbo, now want to see twin, what you think how much those china shit will get at 1 or 1.2 bar ? :D :D :D

they answered you above mate.

those 2 turbos will see no power and just lag up to 5000 - 5500rpm and they will make around 600hp at wheels.

maybe 2 x kkr 380's will be better for lag but it will still be laggy.

Thinking about it more, 2x 480's wouldn't be on till closer to 6000rpm i reckon at a stab.

And 380's would also be... terrible :)

I mean a -5 is "rated" at 350-380hp or whatever and they start to come good around 3800-4300rpm, the KKR's would be laggier again.

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
