Twin Kinugawa's On 32R?

[SHIRUBA_XXXIII]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has used a twin Kinugawa turbo set up on a RB26? Have a mate who recently got a single installed on his 33GTST and upon his research found they are a really popular turbo at the moment, and have very good reviews. I looked into them a bit further, and it got me thinking. I was wondering if anyone has any experience running them as twins, and if they perform well in that format. Which spec would be best to use, etc.

Simply, I'm chasing 280-300 awkw. I would love to crack 300 but will happily settle for a safer setup around the 280 mark.

Will be doing PowerFC, injectors, oil pump, sump baffle and fuel pump. So a fairly conservative build.

Any feed back/advice would be greatly appreciated.

My original thoughts were to go with some R34 GTR N1 turbos (essentially 2860 -7's i've heard?) with the same suppporting mods to try and get my power figure.

Would I be better off simply with the N1's?

Price wise, it seemed about the same (~$1500) for the turbos, so just need some advice to tilt me either way

Cheerds guys!

You'd better off with pair of N1's cos if you head to Kinugawa's, you'll need manifold, dump/front pipe, oil/water lines etc.

Too much of a hassle for your power goal, and it'll be easier for you and your wallet to go down tried and proven method of twin Garrett -7s or -9s which will make 300kw easily.

That's what I was thinking, other than the curiosity to try something different, my common sense says that its safer\cheaper\simpler to do the N1's. Will those supporting mods be sufficient to reach 300kw?

[Count Grantleyish]

All supporting mods you've mentioned will be fine for 300kw.

Grab pair of 33 or 34 GTR dump pipes since you have a 32 (from memory 32R dumps are restrictive).

coil packs, hi flow cat, 33/34 dumps

Yes.

Save yourself the heartache of wanting more down the track and go a single. the money saved on labour when.you eventually want more than 300 having to swap out twins will easily pay for the manifold, then its one turbo not two.

also buy a map based ecu and save money on afms and dicky intake pipes.

[SHIRUBA_XXXIII]

What map based ecu do you recommend?

Vipec or Haltech

TWIN TD06 SL2 20G (either 8 or 10cm) will be one hectic Drag Monster!

Fatz was gnna do this for shits and giggles but i believe he backed out and ended up putting the kit up for sale.

perhaps try sending him a PM to see if he still had it as he listed it up at a real good price too!

For a mild setup like the one you have described go for something like a powerfc or nistune keeping the standard look with the AFM's. Both of these are a relatively cheap, easy to use and a crapload of support is offered on them

Dont they do a knock off of the Trust T517Z 8cm ? They along with an 8cm housing would make for a nie 280-330rwkws bolt on option

[R31Nismoid]

517z in 8cm make a bit more than that from memory, but you do pay the price in lag as Nick & Jack will tell you, they are a bit lazy.

His were T518z werent they? Also if you look at his dyno run it was done with less than half the boost

Hmm... don't think so?

lol... The boost sensor was broken that day - so it was reading exactly half

[Roy]

You Garret fanbois always come up with the lamest excuses. Cant you just stomach that the Trust turbos were almost as responsive and made the same power with half the boost

Why not buy real ones... I have mine for sale for under 2k with new cores.

... mine did, 400rwkw on 98. Not really lazy though.
