Or just run a Garrett GT4088R which has a real Garrett high temp material spec TS T4 flanged turbine housing . One actually designed for its turbine as well . They really are a better match of wheel to housing on both sides and more thought has gone into the wheel trims too . GT/X35xxR anythings are Garrett bastard bitzer turbos , wrong housings for both wheels and a stupidly large turbine trim . They are a legacy of Garrett trying to have something along the lines of the HKS spec GT3240 without the legal issues back then . You can do better .

A .

Actually I've heard of GT4088R exhaust housings losing integrity under similar conditions as well, and "pound for pound" I reckon are not as good in terms of real world performance on smaller displacement petrol motors than the GT3582Rs. My view of "doing better" would be more like putting a Borg Warner S300SX on there if you were going T4 TS.

until we really start testing this set up its hard to tell.

my personal opinion is it will be a great package in a 1100kg car.. with E85 we are able to make more power with smaller turbo which is great for throtle response and a nice flat power line helping with traction etc

Lol thats overkill for 500-550whp on E85 man - should still see >600whp on a DD if you leaned on it a bit. Just be a bit wary of EGTs on the track/drift, one of the guys here had one on his SR20 S15 running 600-700hp @ hubs on E85 and the divider in the ATP TS housing cracked... not ideal.

Out of interest, was he running e85, what sort of EGT's are you guys seeing with E85.

    • Has anyone used or considered Hi-tech mufflers, Bourke St Darlinghurst? They were the cream of the crop in quality and workmanship when I had my turbo Forester They specialized in custom stainless exhaust systems, especially for Euro supercars
    • @PLYNX I can help source the OEM shit for you for less, slide into my DMs.
    • Don’t know if any one has noticed but there’s a few US spare parts companies that have purchased what seems like all the new old stock NISMO/Skyline parts and charging rich US dollars
    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
