just after some opinions, talking bout the factory ford FG XR6 turbo,

is it a good turbo? how much laggier than a gt3076 would it be?

yeah, a mates r33, you'd think boost response would be better than a GT3540?

Looking at that JEM graph in the link it looks to be slightly better... There are probably better options available, that is all i meant!

What do you want it to do? That turbo will get you a high maximum power reading on the dyno but may not perform as you would like on the street or track. I have a GT3540R on an RB30 and have a .63 rear on it which gives it great pickup at the cost of top end power. The same turbo on an RB25 would not be as good and something like a GT3076X could suit unless you are building a drag car.

well he had a 2876 which has blown, now wants the 250-300kw without massive lag, just looking at options with a reasonable budget in mind, theres no secondhand gt3076's for sale at moment but theres a few of these 3576's.

A 35r on the street is powerful but you will only have a 2, 000 to 3,000rpm useable power band. Honestly I think a 3076/ 3076x is perfect for power and response on the street. Big power figures with f all power band is overrated.

yer jem made it much better to drive better than the last tunner. its not that laggy ill have to make a vid with the camera on boost and rpm to try and show you.ive been in some laggy cars and this does not feel laggy i hade a mates gtr start to pull at around 5500 anything under that it was dead nothing like my set up full boost is about 4200rpm starts to build fast at about 3000rpm and all the way to 8200rpm 25psi drop to 22psi with a boost leak that has been a kuntess to find.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
