M35 Turbo Upgrade Kits(expressions Of Interest)

[Jetwreck]

Hi Guy's,

This post is only for expressions of interest.

I am currently due to unforeseen circumstances (sort of ) doing an upgrade/rebuild to my turbo. The upgrade is High Flow, Garret BB's(500hp) and steel impellers(basically a GT30). As this is not a straight forward upgrade in terms of the unit fitting back up I was thinking about putting kits together to make the job a bit simpler for those who wish to go in the same direction as myself and danwatt. I am estimating the complete kit to be around $2,100 to $2,500 not including shipping(I will post up a confirmed price later).

The kit will contain something similar to below:

• Turbo upgrade from your unit to High Flow, Garret BB's(500hp) and steel impellers(GT30)
  
• Modification(reweld) of the intercooler aluminum piping(supply of your part for modification)
  
• Spacer and new bolts for the intake pipe(supply of your part for modification)
  
• Modification of the water pipe to match the old setup(supply of your part for modification)
  
• Modification to the Oil line to match the old setup(supply of your part for modification)
  

These modifications can be done by yourself but I just thought rather the re pioneering the way yourself why not just by the kit's already done.

anyway....thoughts guy's?

You don't.

The turbo can be removed without dropping the engine. It is a BI*CH though.

Enjoy!

Ok, Time to really start saving.

I'll have to give up spending money on the bike riding and put some focus on saving.

Let me think about it

So it's a maybe from me!

[zei20l]

i rekon the price is quite reasonable for what you get!!

however, having to remove the parts and have them modified will be the bitch i rekon

[danwatt]

Piggy backs;

eManage Ultimate

Haltech v11 (?)

Replacement;

ViPEC

Haltech 350z Platinum (may need to be used as a piggyback though).

Just make sure you find a good tuner

This is a great upgrade.....but an absolute F#%KING bitch of a job.....sort of like building a ship in a bottle! 9hrs it took to get back in. Mind you I only drooped the cross-member on the gearbox. I reakon the car has about another 40-50KW's at the wheels.....cannot wait until I do the Haltec.

Pic's to come of the turbo and kit.

P.S. This is not an easy job even with the parts made.

Mines gone from approx 5.4km per lt to approx 7.2km per litre....same sort of driving.....but my old turbo was completely stuffed

Piggy back or full replacement ECU?
