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?
