watch (to the end), enjoy, comment.....

What cameras did you use to film that?

[tman7878]

We used a gopro for the time lapse and a cannon XA10 with a big fuzzy attachment for the mic

[Oakville]

I was going to say, the stuff shot with the canon looks phenomenal

[tman7878]

Yeah pretty lucky to have friends with nice cameras!! Lots has been done on the car but I don't have time for an update until sometime next week, stay tuned for a summer update!

[tman7878]

Okay so its been a really long time since ive given an update. I dont have time to get you caught up on all the little details right now so heres the big issue I'm dealing with. I recently found out that my rear turbo is blown. SO.....WHICH TURBO SHOULD I GET? I wanna stay twin and keep response so I'm between the tomei turbos AND the garrett t2860r-7's. Final goal is just over 500hp so let me know what you think! also upgrading cams and doing some work on the head. Please gimme feedback on the turbos, thanks. Will post an update in the first week of september! until then I need to know what to order!

I like my R34 N1's, drop in, and with just a Vipec and intakes, everthing else stock, I am running 383 awhp at 16-17 psi. With cams, injectors fuel pump and maybe intercooler should be at 450 awhp until I blow her up lol.

[tman7878]

yeah I'm lookin for 500 at the crank so that might be an option. I want something that can comfortably be there though turbo wise like maybe give up a bit of the response just to know that my turbos are well within what they're rated too. Anything else I should look at beside the N1's, the -7's and the tomei's?

[rob_96]

Awesome build, cant wait to her running. after all this would would you do it again?

I got the -5 turbos with tomei type b cams 475whp @16psi and 582whp @22psi

why did you choose the -5's over the -7's? anything else done to the engine?

[allwheeldrifter]

I chose -5s kuz the response difference between them is very minor and u can get more hp out of -5s. I have fuel pump, 700cc injectors, tomei manifolds and
Outlets, z32 mafs, arp head studs, tomei head gasket and baffle, greddy fmic, twin turbo divided pipe, greddy profec b spec 2 boost controller, and a couple other supporting mods that dont rly give power. I still run stock fuel rail with stock fpr, and stock ecu

Oh okay that sounds very similar to my setup except I'll be running a map sensor through my vipec, 600cc injectors, stock manifolds, but a tomei fuel rail so I'm hoping I can get close to what you're running. Still waiting for that quote from cam at lightspeed. Thanks for your feed back. He had suggested -7s so Ill have to ask why that is!

I have major head work an now cannot rev enough because of the oil pump (peek is at 7200 rpm, dosent drop at 8300 but i wont go higher until i have the tomei oil pump) .... If you only want 500 hp dont touch the head it dosent need it at all

Okay thanks for the advice, I'm thinking I will go for turbos+ inlet exhaust manifolds and dump pipes
