Bolt On Turbo Kit Tomei M8260 Thoughts?

[boobeedoobee]

Hey looking at taking the next step with my r32 gtr with a bolt on turbo kit.

Was thinking the tomei m8260 any thoughts on these or can someone recommend another option.

Thanks

[vorse]

hey mate what is the capacity of the motor ?

on a 2,6 you will want garret 2860-9 for good near factoryresponse and up to 350 kws

2860-5s for anything more but you will suffer from more lag

those tomeis arnt really a great turbo to be honest imo

[Piggaz]

What's your power goal?

Use of the car?

Standard or built engine?

[boobeedoobee]

Just want as much power I can from a set if bolt ons

My car is stock just had the boost restrictor taken out and a nistune chip exhaust and pods

[Piggaz]

Are you planning on building an engine?

There was a result a few years ago with the smaller set of the tomei turbos. Iirc, 23 ish psi at 5900 rpm. How much down low torque are you willing to give up?

If you jump on the Tomei site, you'll see that the comparison graph that the use to display the curves of these turbos are actually on a 2.8 L engine. Hardly a good comparison.

There are much better options out there. Every result I have seen with the new tomei things with their pretty blue actuators have been very ordinary.

Those tomei turbos are rubbish! got a mate with 1 on an evo 9 (not really the same comparison I know) but the power delivery is very dull to say the least and my evo 9 with the stock turbo feels ALOT punchier and fun to drive. Id say a well setup set of -9's feel really good on the street as ive done a few k's in my dads car with the 9's

[boobeedoobee]

Yeh seems to be the norm about these turbos.

What are 9's I heard that HKS ARE GOOD

[Mick_o]

The -9's are garrett 2860 -9 which are the HKS Gt-ss equivalent without the price tag. The 9's on E85 really are as good as you will get on a 2.6L unless you go single they are the perfect balance of response and power for the street

[Piggaz]

What's the budget?

[boobeedoobee]

No real budget. Would pay for solid good quality

[Mick_o]

Start shopping for 9's then mate

Sorry to budge in like this but what do you mean when you say "-5s or -9s" is this the HP rating?

[Piggaz]

Mate, you're not giving us anything to work with here.

You basically have a standard car and wanting to put 500 rwkw worth of turbos on it.

Realistically, 20k ain't gonna get close to doing a build PROPERLY like that.

What will you use the car for?

Will you build an engine. If so, how big?

How much are you willing to spend on the head?

Fuel?

Do you mind it being a pig below 5 grand?

Chucking turbos at a setup and hoping for the best will end in very poor results.

[GTR_JOEY]

this guy, he knows!!! lol

seriously bro if you wanna keep it to a decent dollar figure aim for 300-350rwkw mark.. it gets damn expensive anywhere up from there

-9 results range from 320-360 rwkw

-5 results range from 350 - 400 rwkw generally.

-5 results range from 350 - 400 rwkw generally.

Okay, cheers.

[boobeedoobee]

I will mainly use the car as a weekenda and do all the hill climb events in it.

I don't want to open the engine at this stage.

I just a pair of bolt ons for now would give me that little extra power.

I'm at 245awkw if I can get it to 350 I would b happy for now any suggestions?

[Nissan Nutter]

They have told you 4 times what to get if you dnt want to spend too much money and are chasing up to 350kw. Why are you asking the same question again?

[Piggaz]

-9's will get there IF the setup is well thought out. IE not a peanut exhaust with a silly restrictor on there for example.

-5's will make it easier due to being a tad bigger, but not without a penalty.

If it were me, I'd go -9's and try make the setup as efficient as possible. Using the car for hillclimbs, it'll be faster with the smaller turbos on the standard engine. -5's are too big on a 2.6 IMO.

[Mick_o]

-9's CLOSE THREAD! You've heard the suggestions now go buy some 9's!
