hi guys just found a set of r33 gtr vspec turbos for $500 but will take $340 tonight on had 60000km on them what you think as a trial

No good mate, all the stockers are no fun. They break easy and cost an arm and a leg to install, so you are likely to be doing the job twice if you get em.

-9s are better than -7s, you should buy a pair of -9s off a one of the forum sponsors then get em fitted. You will need an ecu yes, powerfc or nistune are good for your application.

Without changing the injectors or AFMs the -9s will get you a tidy 280kw. With injectors and ecu (a lot of money later) you will get 300-330kw.

-7 = G't 2860

Thanks for advice & help from Steve-0 and Yavuz (aka Unigroup Engineering)

Bosch 044 fuel pump

Denso 700cc injectors

Tomei Poncams Type B 260/9.5

Tomei adjustable cam gears > advanced to get bottom end power from 3200rpm

Power FC D-Jetro

GReddy DSBC set at 20-21psi

Blitz Front Pipe

Kakimoto 90mm Mega N1 Premium Exhaust with hi flo cat

So many other comparable outputs on this thread on "Search"

-5 propellors recommended too as I was considering these.

This is bullshit...they should be covered by the warranty...wear and tear is items like brake pads and tyres...not friggen turbos. Speak to the MTA in NSW and see how you go from there....

Does the car have a boost controller etc. Chase this warranty up before you spend any money.

hi guys i got 2 gt2860 -7 on it works insain no smoke nothing all is good thanks so much for your help also it had a boost controler thats y they said its not covered as they dont know if i have stuffed around with it but im very very happy with the results now do any of u have adjustable cam gears in your car and are they worth it also what cams should i get i want it to be abit lumpy like a tuff gtr

You might want to invest in purchasing some full stops, because your post is quite difficult to read.

There is plenty of people using cam gears and getting good results. As Nismoid would say... Search.

You should be investing in a tunable ecu and a re-tune first though, as the -7's will flow better than stock so the tune will now be out considerably. Optimise what you have first, and tune it so its safe. Then look at Terry's list and start shopping.

Good choice man, but please dont drive the car hard until you get an aftermarket ecu tune. Cam gears get great results as most people who have them will attest but when you do them, do the timing belt too. It saves on labor and although it says to change at 100k, rubber does corrode and crack over time so for piece of mind, do that too.

...as in Post #23

Those Tomei drop-in cams 'n gears helped to put more area beneath the power curve = much less lag = more bottom end power

I can't stress enough how much a good tuner will get the best out of your car.

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
