This guy is definitely going to have all sorts of pain owning a car like this.

You have to upgrade pretty much everything to get 260kw. The only difference between what you need for 260kw and 560kw is the engine build part. Still need every supporting mod, and buying a 260kw turbo is much the same price as a 560kw turbo.

Thanks. I just spoke with drivermotorsports here in the US.

 

said same thing. Oddly some people say you don’t have to have everything others say you do. Why it’s so confusing. My bmw m2 was easy, this is a new platform and there is nothing dead on.

he said what you said, injectors, exhaust, manifold, haltech (I’ll prob go elite), downpipe, intercooler, Turbo, and a couple of other supporting mods.

 

I was interested in what everyone was using (brand - make) etc.. to see if I can come in under 6 grand.

again, thanks for the help. Very much appreciated. 

All of the brands and prices are likely going to be different here. These cars aren't new, and everyone here has been here for well over a decade and know the game.

Everything is custom made. Intakes for your turbo, manifolds, exhaust are all custom to every application. Lines, hoses etc - Custom to every application. Dyno tuning is custom to every car.

The G25/G30 Garretts are likely the simplest fit if you aren't doing all the labor yourself. Mainly due to the fact they're physically smaller. I would go a full race manifold simply because they're good, and USA based. All the stuff in AU will be going 6boost et al which are australian based.

Intercooler, eh - If you have a guy who is going to make you a full custom exhaust, it's not a stretch for the same guy to make up intercooler pipes to suit whatever core you have available locally that can fit. Same story for intake/pod/airbox if you want one of those.

If you can get a plug in ECU it will save a lot of time and heartache. 

----
You could go smart and forget about a custom manifold, and a custom turbo and get in touch with Hypergear for a truly bolt on applicaiton that will make the power. 350whp is possible with:

Stock exhaust manifold
Stock turbo that has hiflowed internals (which means it bolts up perfectly to stock lines, stock intake etc).

This will be much simpler, but you'll still need an exhaust of some description, though you COULD get away with an off the shelf dump pipe, making your exhaust guy's life much easier.

Still need an intercooler of some description, but you could get by with a return flow kit (blitz etc) that will work fine for that target. The only other fabricatory thing you'd need is some kind of metal intake to the turbo, as the silicon can suck shut under that much vacuum.

Still need ECU, Injectors, Coilpacks (likely), and fuel pump that isn't too hard to fit/mount, and make sure you get 14V to that pump instead of the OEM 12.


Will this perform as well as a full race/garrett small G series turbo to make the same peak power? No.
Do you care? Depends on your budget and very much on how much access to custom fabrication you have.

  • Thanks 1

 

Heres some number for ya

 

 

injectors, 500

exhaust, 500

manifold,not needed

haltech (I’ll prob go elite) 1000

, downpipe 250

, intercooler 500

, Turbo, 1500

Clutch 1500

Diff 1000

Fuel pump 250

Tuning 750

Labor $$$x

Thank you both for that. 

exactly what o was looking for. I watched a sh.. ton of videos today about hyper gear and how much people like them. Mose likely will have to try and buy one without core and spend extra money.

They are trying to source mochimoto? Intercooler and will do the piping. Coil packs I was looking at the splitfire or r8. I did see the cost of r8 and it looked like 750.00 need to look at split fire to see what they cost.

 

 Again, appreciative of the info

Very valuable info. 🙏🏽 

This is too easy in the US...... Add a boost tee and CAI and run it up on a Dyno jet Dyno 😂

Gtx3071 internal gate, plazmaman Intercooler kit, 1000cc top feed injector kit, aero motive stealth fuel pump, link g4 plugin ecu, 3inch exhaust. Factory airbox with a 3inch pipe to turbo. Plan for a gasket kit and clutch. Leaves plenty of room for more power later. 

There is almost 20years of information on this site, easy to find information with a Google search. 

To make about 270rwkws on pump 98 fuel from a stock manual R33 GTST, this were the parts and costs from one of my older projects:

800cc Xpurt injectors: $600
Walbro 540L Fuel pump: $200
Adaptronic ECU with Air temp sensor: $1500
HyperGears High flowed stock turbo: $950
Turbosmart Boost controller: $100
600x300x100mm Aeroflow cooler: $230
JJR's FMIC cooler piping kit: $250
3inches turbo back exhaust: $550
3inches intake pipe with Pod: $200
Split fire coil packs: $650
Xtreme clutch kit: $1650
Dyno tune: $800

All up: $7680 Assume all mechanical work carried out by your self

And thats just for the motor.............brakes, suspension, rims, tyres/tires, HICAS lockout, and other supporting mods are also needed to turn the Tokyo Taxi into a Hiroshima Screamer.  So add another $5-10K

All too hard???? Just buy a fibreglass body kit and  get a harlequin paint job and cruise around looking the part :)

If you want a reliable 350rear wheel horespower, you need the following:

 

Nitto 3.2 kit
Shimless head with full cnc porting with 288 cams
albins sequential

With your stock turbo, you should easily be able to achieve the power you desire.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
