Okay so im deciding what turbos to upgrade to and want to know everyones opinion.

Im wanting twin high mounts and want to get around 500kw or more..my motor is fully built and just needs a few extra goodies.

Im running greddy t517zs atm and its got over 300kw on low boost.

Im looking at getting a set of greddy t67-25gs as ive heard really good things but want everyones input so please feel free to voice your opinion guys.

Thanks

On petrol, or E85? What is "fully built"? Please elaborate on specs, and the rest of the setup etc? External gates? GTX2867Rs are the first thing that come to mind on the assumption you will be running E85.

^ As above..

Also need to understand what your car is used for and what you expect out of it in regards to drivability. As much as I love twins, for big power like 500kw I would lean towards a big single like a PTE6466 or EFR9180.

Whatever you do, stay away from the T67. That thing would be nearly 20-30 years old by now (technology wise)

Sorry guys.. Motor has forged pistons, rods, big injectors, fuel rail, n1oil pump, nismo oil cooler, nismo intercooler.. Its on pump fuel ATM and plan to get cams, cam gears, e85 and a few other goodies.. I want 450-500kw and was thinking td06-20gs for it as i think running twin t67s will be too laggy as is purely for street use. If i run the td06-20gs.. I'm not sure as to run 8cm or 10cm??

Thanks

^ TBH, stay away from the Greddy / Trust turbos. They are laggy by todays standards.

Get yourself a pair of GTX2867R like Lithium suggested or a big single like a PTE6266, EFR8374, PTE6466 or even a EFR9180 (all in in twin scroll configuration for response)

swings and roundabouts...

1. do you really want 500awkw? if so (unless it's going to be a hard parker with a dyno sheet in the windscreen)

2. start saving for a new gearbox

3. cash in the rego, throw in a seat, cage and buy a trailer (because unless your looking to get more cubes, it'll be essentially useless on the street)

4. start saving for all the supporting systems (I'll guarantee your fuel system wont support 500rwkw, clutch, cooler, oil and breathing mods, diff/susp/brakes, ign system, ecu/tune.... )

and the list goes on into a big spiraling dark hole of time/money and sacrifice/compromise

Cheers

You should get close with GTX28's shoved into -5 housings, twin Walbro 460L, possibly 1400cc ethanol/methanol injectors (or just put 2000's in there)

The rest can be done on a surprisingly stock engine bay, but be warned, the 26 block is very weak up around that power. I would be going for an unmolested 3L block and not boring it out much.

Nah, 26 block is no stronger or weaker than a 30 block, do what everyone does and do a partial grout fill for ridgitidy.

If anything the 26 block has oil squirters and the block grove for extra mains oiling already there, i wouldnt jump to a 30 block just for 500Kw.

Good Oil pump is a must in any RB build as is oil control mods.

You can get 400-450Kw with a set of low mount -5 and E85....

Appreciate all your input guys..

I'm totally new to all this so i do appreciate all your feedback guys

To start with, be honest with yourself and really have a good think about what you want to get out of your gtr and how you would like to use it. Once you figure that out, you can start setting goals and planning mods/asking for advice for the best way to get the result your looking for.

Cheers

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
