I am going shopping soon, need some advice.
My setup in a nut shell:
RB25DET Series 2 - stock internals (engine compression is 150-160psi across all 6 cylinders)
Greddy Plenum
100mm FMIC
550cc Injectors
Bigger fuel pump, Fuel reg
PowerFC
..think that's all the important stuff
Currently running stock turbo on stock exhaust manifold, 3" exhaust with Metal hiflow cat, no mufflers
I want 280-300rwkw with quickest response/most useable power.
I want it to have a fast 1/4 mile potential (mid 11's?), and also be good for drift/circuit (what everyone wants, right? lol)
I have been looking at a GT35 internally gated, it retails from horespowerinabox for ~$1600. I would simply bolt that on to my stock manifold and get my powerfc retuned and away I go.
Is this my best option for achieving "I want 280-300rwkw with quickest response/most useable power", or would it be wiser to run a different turbo that would make a bit less power (say 250-280rwkw) but have bs quick response?
Also, should I invest in cams and an exhaust cam gear (retaining VCT on the intake cam), at the same time when I do turbo upgrade. Will aftermarket cams & cam gear help with response time and making power, is it worth spending say the $1k on this given that I'm 'only' chasing somewhere between 250-300rwkw?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
