yes i was going to, but family things have come up where i cant now

spotted a black 33 4 door with black wheels and new S plates turnin from morphett rd onto oaklands road bout 11:30pm last nite in the pouring rain. nice blue flame on the gear change btw

mmmm new turbo is closer, very much closer

Thats the plan, to be able to use the same turbo in the interim (till a box upgrade) and then wind the boost up. saves un-neccesary spending. I know a few people have said that theres no need for external gate, but as you said, it makes it harder choosing the right turbo if you keep it internal. At the end of the day, im aiming to put this car in time attack/sprint style events, the occasional hillclimb etc. I want good average power curve with fairly minimal lag and a good top end too. Peak power only wouldnt make a very driveable car on track (especially a torqueless 20) Thanks for the positive information, helped steer me in the right direction thats for sure

Only made a new thread because i couldnt find exactly what i was after in a search My new 31 project is going to be a grip car. the 20 i pulled out of my old drift shell is still alright, but otherwise stock (was around the 160rwkw mark with stock turbo and un-remapped ecu). For now its staying standard (injectors, internals etc) except for a re-map. Having a forward facing plenum fabricated, as well as a new exhaust manifold. Would like to retain a T3 flange pattern for the turbo i choose. Im also intending on going external gated for ease of boost control Heres where i get a grey area Originally started down the lines of wanting a GT2871R merged with an R33 RB25 turbo (of which i have a blown 25 turbo sitting in my shed). Cost was a bit of a clincher, then was informed that the 3071R would be a better suited turbo (only coming on slightly later, and being T3 flanged) Ive since had a read and i cant see where anything below a 3076 is T3, so im now somewhat confused again What id like to achieve from this turbo: For now, as im only running a 20 box, id like to limit the power around the 200rwkw mark until i can afford an RB25 box, then its maximising the power from there (bigger injectors i know, and possibly even cams too) Ive assessed my situation and if this motor pops i'll spend the money getting this built into an RB24. I realise that will mean a definite need for a turbo upgrade (aside from many other things) so thats why i was looking at retaining a T3 flange for ease down the track. So, let the discussions begin. Im a few months off buying a turbo, so will help to see the pros and cons right now Thanks

im no expert, but had this happen to me twice. no real warning (temp didnt go thru the roof, no milky residues) but a distinct smell of coolant and a lack of coolant after a few days / week i think flick had the same trouble with her 32 when she had it too. doesnt bring the temps up to higher than normal temps until theres no coolant / water left in the system thatd be the first (and less expensive) option to get checked. if those hoses are fine then it'll be the gasket /2c
