what would be a good size rear for the t78 front that wont hurt top end power and a retune ill want to get anyways

with the computer tune anyone know a good place in syd who is not going to charge an arm an leg

if its a genuine greddy t78 its a good chance its the 17cm2 rear. If it is, you should be throwing boost at it like its going out of fasion. These turbos will make close to 500kw with the right mods. There is a 15cm2 housing but its rare. You may find one and i do remember one for sale on here some time ago. Id search it

I dont have a pic of mine anymore...but if you pull the turbo off, look inside the exhaust housing at the inlet flange and you will see a stamp that says 17CM2 or 19CM2 etc

its the only thing stamped on the inside

ok ill take it to my mechanic this week and he will inspect it for me thanks guys what rear housing would be the best for the job i want

i want to keep the same power and i want boost to start kicking about 3500rpm not 4800

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
