Turbo Upgrade! N1, Gtss, 2860-5 Or 2530?

Hey everyone, had my R32 GTR for a few months and ive decided to upgrade turbos.

Now before everyone starts telling me to go look at the RB26 turbo upgrade section i already have and it didn't really answer my questions about what to choose.

Current turbos are rebuild stock turbos with steel wheels (possibly only exhaust wheel is steel and intake is ceramic) and they have been hi flowed. They 360drg thrust bearing (not ball bearing), Turbos came with the car the previous owner got the turbos done. All Supporting mods are fitted aswell as adjustable cam gears(according to previous owner tuned for response) and cold air intake with head shield. Car runs @18psi, reason for upgrade is i want better response. Car pulls nicely from about 3800rpm but doesnt make full boost until about 4700-5000rpm (rev limit deduced to 7500).

Not looking for any extra power car makes 280kw and i dont want to take the stock motor much further. All im looking for is the turbos that will come on tap as early as possible and also maintain torque and power throughout the rev range. Currently torque drops away at 4000rpm from 480nm to 350 by rev limit.

These 4 sets of ball bearing turbos in the title seem to be the most popular for what i want out of them, how much of a reduction in spool time should i expect to see with ball bearing turbos? which ones would everyone recommend for everyday driving @18psi? Is it worth replacing the stock dump pipes for full 3" ones?

If i need to give any more information tell me and ill answer best i can.

Dude this is covered in depth in this thread here:

(not just the dyno results)

From the very first post you can see which turbos are the ones you want.

Before I close this, as honestly the thread has covered this 20 times over… I’ll tell you as well…

R34 N1’s is what you want for 280rwkw and blistering response.

No car will hold torque forever, however they are the single best choice for your power goal

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
