Yeah I do have it on

It also has a hot dog and cannon

It's a little loud but not silly loud !

I'm just worried I won't have enough back pressure.

I'm thinking of buying a turbo with a .63 rear for good mid range power but I'm thinking I might run out of up top fast because theirs to much flow

You don't want backpressure on a turbo car

I dont know why some say go for 260rwkw, I have a very snappy delivered 290 and want a bit more, maybe 320-330 will be my sweet spot.

very true, 260kw for me felt like the job was only half done, 320 and the motor feels alive

just dont loose control of the thing when in third and the backend wants to overtake the front . :yes:

E85 also masks some of that too.

If you tried it on pump you'd be unlikely to get there :)

Ah OK, I thought exhaust flow was the same on either fuel... But yes my car only makes 315-320 on pump from memory

Exhaust flow is actually higher on E85 for the same power. That's because ethanol makes more water vapour than petrol does, and there is less oxygen in each water vapour molecule than each CO2 molecule - hence you get more molecules in total. And then if you're making more power (because E85) then you make even more gas volume again. But if perchance the exhaust temperature is lower, then the actual volume will be lower than if it were hot, so you save some velocity and hence reduced friction and pressure loss. There are swings and roundabouts there that you'd need to do the sums on before saying exactly what the expected effect is.

My point was more than you can still wind timing and boost without detonation even with a restriction where pump would be showing up problems. Plus matt you have separate wastegate, also helps things out :thumbsup:

Anyway point overall is 4" is overkill, 3" would also be fine for that power - so either/or.

No, 3inch minium. If you have the 4inch, just leave it on...they're just saying it's overkill for the the power expectations.

3inch looks small, better off with 3.5-4inch , cant hurt and possibly spooling might be better with a biggish turbo?

Keep the exhaust setup you have. Just buy a hypergear bolton turbo. Buy a nismo drop in full pump, injectors of your choice. And a nistune/PFC with z32 afm. Npc single plate. And be on your way. Remember with upgraded power you will need good tyres suspension brakes to.

still undecided if i should buy a gt3076r with internal gate or external gate and use standard manifold.

If you want to keep the standard manifold and a more stock look you cannot go wrong with the hypergear much much easier to fit up and very good results

Would not hurt to use a fuel pressure reg. As for the turbo you really can't go past hypergears turbos theses if you wish to keep the standard manifold. Even aftermaket manifold he has some good options.

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
