You lol, 10 million different opinions on how to do it

Comes down to how much you wanna spend, setting up a high powered GTR for track duties is an expensive exercise if you want to do it with some sort of reliability.

If I were you,

Keep 2.6, Sort out the exhaust, standard Intercooler, standard cams, fuel pump with wiring upgrade, ID 1000/2000 injectors AND put -9s in it with cams gears dialed for response

That's for street duties and will net you 350ish rwkw.. Sh1t starts to break and get expensive from here on in

For track your gonna want a sump baffle, decent oil pump (oil restrictor depending on pump flow), oil cooler, catch can... If your going that far shit put a stroker in it with a new valve train.. See how it doesn't end?

Haven't even started on brakes and suspension when it comes to track.

BTW -10s are a no no on a 2.6

im not confused im giving advice here not asking for it lol

was just saying in response to being told to that i should stroke out my engine that if i ever did that i would consider-10s on the 2.8ltr

piggaz had a 2.8'with gtrs (-10s) drove like shit they are the worst turbo ever made, 2.8 with 5s is where it's at

yeah -5 specs are really one of the best turbos out there imo. the mismatched dimensions of the 2871 only suit drag, peak power at any cost applications.

Hi guys got a quote back for the exhaust, twin 3 inch into 3.5 into 4 inch in stainless steel supply and installed with black finish $2000, $3000 for the bronze finish, does that sound right?

Why does it step from 3.5 to 4? Why not go 4 inch from the merge?

What's a bronze finish?

fark..... get another quote from somewhere else... unless you want to show the under your car you can get mild steel with a stainless rear muffler for the $1200 mark. shop around mate

shit no, 3.5 is obviously all hes got in stock. tell them 4" merge and you'll do it for 1300 can only ask

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
