Im looking at purchasing a car that has a Garrett GT35R on an RB25DET (also has larger injectors, bigger fuel pump, different reg, diferent ECU)

This a good or bad combination?

Why?

Anyone else running this?

Is it much more laggy than the stock setup?

Thanks :)

All i gotta say is DO NOT get the 1.06 exhaust housing if you want to keep your car streetable.

I agree...dont go as big as the 1.06 exh housing. I have the .82 exh housing and have full boost by about 4500rpm (with cams)

It is a great turbo that comes on with a hell of a rush :)

With other supporting mods like ecu, bigger injectors, fuel pump, FPR etc I have no bad comments on it.

You could go the .63 exh housing for faster spooling...

Cheers

Thanks, but I was not really just after dyno figures.

Well if you looked... you will see its clearly nothing like stock.

How can a 600/700hp turbo behave even remotely like a stock setup.

What is the purpose of the car?

What is your budget?

What power/response are you after?

Sorry, maybe my opening post was badly written.

Ive edited it to make it a bit clearer.

Im not looking at actually doing this to my car, the car Im looking at purchasing already has this done to it.

I was just after opinions from people who had a similar setup and if they thougth it was good or bad (and why).

Hope that makes sense :thumbsup:

Ah... thats a bit different then.

But still, what do YOU wanna do with the car?

Drag work? Track work? Street?

Street.

I will make up my own mind on driveability and such after I have had a drive in it, as doubtless we all have our own preferences here.

But so far Im getting the impression its not a bad combination, as long as the housing isant too big. (but again, that would be somthing that would come out during a test drive I spose).

Hype do you find your car still streetable? Just wondering how much power you are making and have you run your car down the 1/4? Cheers.

Yeah it is streetable...will light the 265's up in second just on acceleration which is a lot of fun. I am very wary about corners though...as hitting boost on a corner might be dangerous until I get used to it :thumbsup:

its putting down 306rwkw but haven't had a chance to run a 1/4. Only got to drive the car for 6 days after the mods installed before leaving back to London for another 4 months...so when I get back will be able to drive it a lot more. :D

For the street it's not a bad combination at all in my experience (short at 6 days so far but I love it) :thumbsup:

Power comes on very strong on boost and is an absolute blast to drive. Do you know what exhaust housing the car you are looking at has?

      It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.

      Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in.

      I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.

      Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
