I found a set of R34 GTR turbos for 500. Sounds alright.
 
Are they a direct fit or do I need to do any extra modifications to it? If it is a direct fit I\'ll get radiator, air filters, turbos, down pipe, decat and power fc all fitted and tuned hopefully before the 22nd :2Rolleyes Then hopefully I don\'t get completely crushed by my friends\' shiny new gtr

no! R34 Turbos wont be a direct fit!!! I very much doubt they fit at all!!
BNR twins are aftermarket twin turbos and dont have anything afaik to do with GTR twins!

I love F1\'s, they\'re great on the road.

However, they suck on track - they marble and fall apart when they get remotely warm.

888\'s are for winners :nod: Awesome tyres.

Is that similar to the uprated twin turbo kit that Hayward rotary is offering?
 
It is just a thought though. I respect Fujita San and Amemiya San enough to trust their decision to go big single instead of bigger twins.
 
Will I be ok to run 350ish on the standard intercooler? Saw a cheap Xspower one but not sure if I can extra pipe work to fit those.

I run R888s on road and track days in my last car. They will give a lot a grip for 10, 15 laps and gave up completely after that. The sudden transition from massive grip to 0 grip is what annoys me. Then again I heard the R888 is designed for lighter cars around 1200kg so I might try them again.
 
What about A048 M compound or Dunlop DZ02? Always been tempted to try them.

I\'ve used dunlop and rate them.
