Nitto rods just for a GT3076?

Sorry to :laugh: but that's just ridiculous wasting of money when many people are making 650hp on GTR rods day in, day out.

Given you and your "engine builder" already reckon you'll make more than 400hp, that would mean you've already already chosen a turbo?

nitto rods aren't much dearer. $650 for nitto h beams from hi octane. $620 for spool h beams. Do the standard 26 rods need prepping at all?

Resizing if using arp bolts? How much would this cost to be done, plus the cost to buy the 26 rods? Could work out around the same in the end.

Thanks mate

Don't see what the big Whoha is about buying a set of nitto rods, do it right the first time isn't it? The guy above is right my nitto rods cost me $630 I'm not going on a budget build to have shit break or fail.... 400+hp is just a rough figure... I'm not in it to make a huge amount of power, if the power gets up there then that's a bonus, I don't want too much lag...

R31nismoid I asked a question on what turbo to get for what I want not for what rods I'm using, as been said 400+hp is just a figure was I will be aiming for the max hp I can get with my setup, I don't mind spending $630 on nitto rods if they are hell alot stronger then a set of used rb26 rods and in conjunksion with that I thank everyone for there input with running the rb26 yeah it would of been a "cheaper" option but you pay for what you get I guess

The turbo that was going to go on it was a gt3540,

I just wanted to see what others input was on what turbo to run

GT3540 is 4500rpm on a well sorted motor.

GT3076 all day for your power goal. Awesome things they are!

"Fullboost" ARGH. Is that 5 psi or 55psi??????

Lol, good call.

I consider full boost on my car as the limit which the turbo will not create boost past because of the spring tension I have chosen to put in my waste gate.

Go the GT3076 - 3540 is too big for the RB25 - pretty sure it won't low mount whereas 3076 will fit with 10mm spacer. GT3076 is good for 300kw on 98 330kw on E85 and much more responsive on a 25 than the 3540. In fact people have had realy good results with the 3076 on an RB30/25.

Woudn't have matter what you chose....I would like to see you break a spool rod with any of the turbos mentioned,

lol, theres vl turbos running very low 8's with them...

cheers

Yes the 3540 will low mount..lol, they fit on stageas ffs..and they are the worst of the Nissan bunch to try fit turbos on stock manis'..., plus none of stao hypergears would fit stock manifold otherwise seeing as G3 etc is same size and comp cover as 3540 ....

cheers

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
