Unfortunately not. I have ordered that type but a 2" one as that's what the inlet at the turbo is (52mm)
I will update you as soon as I received them.

Thank you so much! I hope that this car stays with me for a very long time.


I just received those inlet flanges and they fit perfectly! I'm thinking of just using silicone couplers from that point and then expanding to 2.5" near the filter.

Here's a couple nice pictures for you guys since a few people complained about my bad pictures

Order a set of 2.5" inlets (compared to 2" stock) so hopefully this will make the turbo a little more efficient. I'm hoping to join a tuning group(Seb) in IL around April but my goal is to have the car running mid March with everything functional (can't figure out the e85 flex fuel yet)



Another little project I'm working on

I decided to not use the GTR intercoolers this time as I found a good deal on the CJM intercooler with 3” piping.

Thanks Justin!
Wish me luck that it can be finished before April this time around

so just thinking on paper here

If you were to remake both engine mount brackets to extend lower and then have a physically thinner engine mount. Is there enough room everywhere else that would allow a 3" intake off the turbo?

I know that's getting off the budget build theme but maybe for a V3 kit if there is such a demand?

Hell the z1 mounts are adjustable....hmmmmm

Yes, that would be very possible. I could get someone to make a solid mount that is an inch shorter then extend the bracket an inch lower.
My only concern is that it might not gain anything more than a few whps. If you decide to upgrade the GT-R Turbos down the road to support then it would be worth it.

Got awesome news from ihiryu!

He started installing my kit last week and just finished street tuning it today.

I'm really happy that he called me as he had great news and a great impression of how this kit feels on the street and how his install went with little to no issues.

He will be posting a thread this week hopefully regarding his install and I can't wait to see his dyno sheet

While I'm waiting for the inlets and gaskets to arrive, here's some off topic entertainment.

First time working on a GTR and guess what I had to do? A full engine with e85, bigger Xona turbos

It wasn't that hard as much as it was really time consuming. I wish our engine bay had that extra inch or so of space

So here's something I've been thinking about. If these turbos fit, will others stock location turbos work, I mean upgraded stock size turbos.

Yep, they actually do! I've tested the turbos off this GT-R I'm working on which made 1000 whp before the rebuild, and they fit fine other than needing a little more clearance on the motor mount bracket(easy fix)
