so itd be just cheaper in the long run to by a GTS, because ive found GTS-T's r cheaper than GTS's since naturally aspirated cars have gone up since the P'Plate laws. Fags use the sale pitch " P plate legal". And the laws have ruined it for many trying to sell there aspirated cars. F*** the government.

changing from gts-t to gts requires a bit

1st - you need to bump compression up otherwise the engines a dog and not fuel economic (thin head gasket but better is gts pistons)

2nd - need gts computer (it should run on gts-t ecu, but be shit)

3rd - need exhaust manifold

too much hassle

better off buying a gts, then selling it to another p plater later on down the track

Thanks Blokes very helpful. Yeah i wanna pickup a GTS but not sure if i can scrounge up the money as a 1st apprentice electrician only working 5 weeks on and off. (Hsc+app)

You forgot:

New intake manifold and plumbing

New cams and final drive (about as necessary as bumping compression up)

Its just not economically viable.

you could just modify your turbo and take off the wheel in the exhaust side... that way the exhaust gasses will never spool the turbo... that or jam the internal wastegate open all the time.

but yeah, if you want a DE that badly, sell the car and buy a N/A. it'll be quicker (time to convert) and cheaper.

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
