My engine has just been fully rebuilt with forged pistons , shot peened rods with heavy duty rodbolts and ported and flowed head with the rest of the internals being stock but new.

Barneys GTR has N1's and not a lot else and goes great.

No lag, full steel and with the right setup are able to make 600 ps in Japan.

All yours for the bolt in price of $3000ish for R34 N1's

PS Michael - 2530's are rated at 320hp each and should be good between 1.5 to 2 bar.

Sorry for the late reply, I ended up buying a set of Garrett GT2560R Ball bearings turbos as these will bolt straight on and fall in my budget range of $3000.

I have been told by a garrett dealer that these will bolt straight on and flow up to 400 HP each at 1 bar and have a steel exhaust wheel. They are cabable of 1.8 bar max.

I could not get a set of HKS 2530's or N1 's in that price range, equal to the same performance as the GT2560R..

The turbos that were pulled of the car Seemed to be a Garrett T28 ball bearing hybrid turbo. These are in as good as new condition with zero end play and are for sale if you know of anyone interested. (they have been inspected by a mechanic and I was told they barley have done I000-3000 km). they have a ceramic exhaust wheel and are only cabable of handling 300HP at 1 bar max. hence the reason I am up grading to the GT2560R.

I have been told by the engine builder that the car should produce 400 + RWK with the addition of a power Fc, boost controller, 550 injectors, high pressure fuel pump and bigger intercooler

Thanks for the help

Hey Mike, I am going through exactly the same process.

Am thinking about GT-SS or the GT2560r like you.

I understand that the GT2560r more or less IS the N1 turbo and I have also heard that the GT2560r IS the GT28RS (disco potato), Garrett implemented a new naming scheme apparently.

anyhow, back on subject. How did it go? Do you have them fitted? And most importantly what is their response like?

I am after quick spool up and hence I am looking at the GT-SS also.

Matt.
