Is that brand new or 2nd hand? How much does it flow ? (I'll be buggered if i can find the thread where someone listest the stock GTS-T + GTR vs the Bosch fuel pumps grrr).

Rob , i know you've used only top quality gear (and from the looks of it have got top quality results so far) and so the cost will be up there, but would you mind posting a ballpark figure for the cooler/turbo/wastegate package all up. If not, fine, i respect that :P

good luck with it all, can't wait to see how it goes when everything's been sorted and tuned.

$2650 on the trust cooler fitted. Should have gone with a local made core I think or got it off nengun would have been a lot cheaper. $1500 on buying the turob 2nd hand. $150 to machine the tips on the exhaust wheel (cos it was on a rotary and it let an apex seal go and damaged the turbine, this could also be why its taking so long to spool) and then balance the compressor wheel/exhaust wheel shaft and then $1500 drive in and out. This comprises of removing the old turbo, modifying the exhaust housing to bolt the turbosmart wastegate onto, the new 35mm ultra gate, bolting on the new turbo, braided oil line to suit the turbo, blocking the water line, new dump pipe to cat and wastegate line plumbed back into dump pipe. Plus there is probably a few incidentals in there as well. Next is the bosch fuel pump, this week more than likely as I dont think the stock pump is going to last long (not really driving the car hard at the moment as it takes too long to spool, plus its not really healthy running so rich when boost comes on), then 6 new sard 550cc injectors (might go 850cc overkill, just cos they cost the same as 550cc) and the wolf3d ecu. So there's another $3000 to be spent :D Give me a couple of months for the ecu+injectors... depends on the tax return, although water and land rates have just turned up, spoiling my modifying fun :mad:

Whats the fuel mileage like driving around town not using boost. Thats the -ONLY- reason i could see for using a turbo that doesn't hit hard until 4,600rpm. By 4,600rpm a stock GTS-T turbo has already been in action for over 2.000rpm.

Have a look at my thread in forced induction, you'll see my dyno curves for AFR and boost. The car, once fitted, with a aftermarket ecu will fatten up the mid range hugely and should make the turbo spool quicker. You can see from about 4700rpm to 6200rpm I'm running an AFR of 11.0/10.9 thats hugely rich, plus the stock ecu is retarding the timing as well. Lets wait a few months till the fuel system is sorted and the ecu in and tuned and see what happens. For the power I wanted, and the engine being on stock internals, I had to find a turbo that would give me enough HP at a lowish boost and I think you will be hard pressed to find a aftermarket turbo that flows enough for a decent amount of HP without a bit of lag. I think the HPI r34 turbo is a ball bearing and that hits full boost around 4000rpm. I agree about the stock turbo being great for spool after driving my car around for the past few days, but the hit of power is amazing when it does spool :(

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
