GTR Turbo upgrades

[DAN00H]

I've been looking at all the previous posts on GTR turbo upgrades, Although it is very good seeing peoples results, its a real pain having to read through 3+ pages to see what the results are!!!

I'm considering an upgrade ATM, originally I was goign to get my stockers converted to steel wheels - But at a cost of $4000 for the pair, it is just about cheaper to go for something like HKS GT 2530, Trust T517Z(8cm) or Apexi ax5360....

Would it be possible to have a graph/poll made in sticky, showing at a glance what each person acheived???

It seems the 'simple' path to 320+rwkw is any of the above turbos + 700cc injectors + PFC + nismo/044 pump + front pipes + 3inch??? - All for the princely sum of around $7.5 in parts....

Anyone else have any thoughts???

will take you for a ride in mine tonite, and thats on a conservative tune of 14psi and that will give you an indication of what the 2530's are like (and mines built as a daily)

But I also wouldnt mind seeing a comparison of all the above mentioned turbos squished into one thread (e.g this one)

We were going to organise a dyno day down in Melbourne later in the year getting all the GTR owners with different turbo upgrades with similar power goals - 300-350kw @ wheels and dyno them all on the same day and have a definitive comparison.

I believe we have everything covered, from Trust T517z, HKS GT2530s, HKS GT-SS, APEXi AX5360s, as well as one high mount single turbo with the same power goal as the low mount options...

sounds good... any rough ideas on dates yet? im wanting to go to melbourne some time this year, maybe i could coincidentally plan it around the dates this is on and drop past for a look and put some faces to names of people off the forum

I've got rellies in Melb, when is it on? I wouldn't mind seeing a bunch of you guys and seeing the results!

Yeah, keen to go for a ride, be good to see the difference between the stockers and your car!

[Merli]

We haven't set a date as yet I don't think? Later in the year, cos we need time to plan it...

No dates yet..! > looks at Merli !! Must be a Melbourne Sydney thing, and Merli's gone the whole hog, as soon as his car & him are ready then a date should be set.

But Merli, you said the Apexi AX5360s have een covered?? Who's got these ? The only person I know who had these was Dean (vspecv) but haven't sen a dyno.

I know of a brand new set for sale ~$5K, apparantley these are meant to be better than all the above. I was looking at the Apexi's before the GT2530's, heard there were GTR's in the 10's running these turbos. But not many people new anything about them, so I stuck with the tried and tested GT2530's.

Hey what about the pov pack GTS? Maybe needs to be over a weekend, with one day at a dyno, the next at a track? Could make it an annual event!

Edit: Oh I sold a set of AX53B60's to a guy in Adelaide... maybe he might be interested in sharing his results (his girlfriend is on the forums)

Would be interesting to see how a pair of GTR N1's go in comparison too

[Merli]

meshmesh, I could have sworn someone spoke up in the last thread we were discussing this and said he had the APEXi turbos? I could be wrong! If I am, then we should try to find someone with them

I should have my car back in 3-4 weeks, so give me a bit of time to run it in, and get it tuned and then we'll be good to go!

Doughboy, obviously anyone is welcome to participate... Even if it is with a silly GTS :)

i have a pair of n1 gtrs (r33) , i bought of doughboy and had them rebuild by garrett , no dyno yet , had the pfc tuned on the road , i will let you know when i get dyno done .

[JAGR33]

Yeah guys, we will hold a dyno day in the very near future between the Melb boys, and another one later in the year for the boys in Sydney to come down...

So far for the Melb one we have the following combinations:

- HKS 2530's

- Trust T517Z's (8cm2, yes that's right, thought I had the 10cm2, but it is confirmed I have the 8's)

- Nismo N1's

Will keep you guys posted with results, stay tuned!!!!
