I have standard ceramic turbos fitted to a 97 R33 GTR Vspec.

I want to know what are the fastest spooling aftermarket turbos that will produce around 500-600hp?

Drivability is the key. I dont want massive hp between 7000 and 8000 rpm.

cost is also a factor. Thinking about the Garrett 707160-7 turbos.

Any Thoughts?

Thanks

Does the 707160-7 have the GTR type flange already do you know?

I was looking at that too - as it appears to have similar specs to GT-SS.. Is this your thinking too?

Most people seem to be suggesting the 707160-5..

The tried and proven option round here for a streetable car with a usable 500-600hp would be a set of 2530s.

There are plenty of cars on these forums with 2530s and they love em.  Great on the track too!

For a street driven GTR they are the best option.....not too bad on the strip either

    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian
    • He is around but doesn’t really do automotive stuff anymore, mainly does commercial work now 
    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
