Both me and a mate are running small ex housing GT2871R's on FJ's. While I havent had a chance to lean on the setup yet, my mates FJ 1600 has been running 216rwkw @ 16psi for quite a while, mainly only been used for track work. Super responsive with minimal lag he loves it, I'm just hanging to get mine running similar.

something like a gt3076r with a .69a/r exhasut side would be perfect for a mild FJ, should see you past 300rwkw

Thanks guys

I've also been recommended a GT3071R with 0.6AR compressor

Pardon my ignorance as I'm not up with turbo sizes but will these bolt on and is this an equivilent to a GT3071R ? http://www.digi-hardware.com/tr43gen2.html

The manufacturer recommended this but the internal wastegate is optional plus I was worried it was too big.

I assume the std turbo has internal wastegate?

R34, The non intercooled FJ had a .63A/R rear housing on a T03 mount flange. The intercooled FJ had a .48A/R.

As it's fairly well known, I bought the DR recently from Qld and I'm going to use it as a track/hillclimb car.

The sky is the limit as to what you want to do, but the first thing you do is punt the ECU and get an a/mkt tuneable unit, then bigger exhaust, then bigger or more efficient intercooler (bigger isn't necessarily better) then injectors, all depending on your budget.

I think personally a 2871R is too small as I think it will run out of puff up towards the red line.

I'm going with, as stagefummer suggests, an GT3076R with external wastegate and .86A/R rear along with 3" exhaust & 550cc injectors in a custom O'Ring fuel rail. With this I'm looking towards 400+HP at the wheels and then your problem is getting it to the ground effectively.

My only concern with Hypergear is it sounds too cheap, remember all of the Monsta T70 turbos that flooded ebay a couple of years ago, they were claimed to be ex USA but in fact were coming out of China, into USA and then to OZ and they were farked, would not spool up at all. Just be sure what your buying as cheap usually is.

Cheers, D

Yeah Dennis

I'm looking at Autronic SMC or Vipec now.

Would aiming for 400hp create a problem with lag?

:P

Had a rally Mazda years ago and built it with small periphial ports rather than go for the big ones of the all out power monsters.

Section of the rally up the side of the Darling scarp (Zig Zag) beat all the other Hi po Mazdas and the works Stanzas (Dunkerton,Fury) and Works Fords (Carr, Bond)

One rare claim to fame for a poor privateer but taught me to chase low down power too

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
