Hey guys first time poster here and looking for some help, I'm about to list every part I have accumulated over the last 1 year in preparation for my r34 GTT manual going in to get built in the next coming weeks

Firstly just like most, my initial plan changed midway and now I'm going slightly bigger turbo 

I have purchased a garrett g30-900 1.01 A/R now previously I had a 3076 (aeroflow turbo) but sold it and decided to go garret. With previous turbo I had purchased a 45mm turbosmart hypergate (14 PSI) 

However now that I have a garrett g30-900 I was wondering is my 45mm turbosmart too small for my set up?

I'm aiming for 500kw on high boost (but will have a low boost setting of about 300kw)

Should I look into getting the 50mm progate or is 45mm OK? I do want some response 

My current list of parts are:

ARP head studs 

arp main studs 

Nitto head gasket 

6 boost manifold 

Turbosmart wastgate 45mm 

Fuel regulator turbosmart fpr6

Fuel rail plazmaman 

Injectors 1650cc Bosch

Turbo garret g30-900

Plazmaman intercooler 

Plazmaman full billet intake manifold 

haltech 2500 

Haltech ic7 

Radiator PWR 

ATP Oil catch can 

Twin plate clutch exedy organic 

Kelford 264 cams 

Kelford spring & retainers 

Supetech valve set 

Nitto I beam rods 

Nitto pistons 86.5

Nitto oil pump and crank collar 

HKS Cam gears 

Prp trigger kit 

ati Harmonic damper 

Astra electric power steering 

2x 525 Fuel pump wallbro and Surge tank

prp ls1 rb25 alternator kit 

R35 coil packs

Aeroflow sump

Hi-Flow pick up for sump

Engine mounts tuff

Radiator overflow bottle

Nitto head drain 

Battery relocation kit 

CAN keypad

1.1mm restrictors 

Gktech clutch fan

I haven't purchased ACL bearings yet I'll just get the builder.to organise thos according to clearance 

Block head and crank will all be machine bore honed etc...

 

I'd go the 50mm gate. The 45 might do everything you want, but it would be such a pain in the arse to do all the work fitting it, only to find out its a little too small for what you want. 

For the small outlay at the start, I'd play it safe and just go with the 50mm gate.

Side note, that's a pretty sexy build you've got in the works.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
