Hi All,


I have been reading around for a while to try and figure out my next mods.


I like something around 500bhp from fly which i think would be around 400 at wheel, right ?


I don't want to go forge or change cams at this stage .


I have seen gt35,30,28 and number of others but not sure what is best for me .


everyone has a different opinion reading around . what would you get and what is the max power from the turbo at what psi ?


I think gt30 is low mount which is good but gt35 or other are high mount and if i was to run gt 35 , I think it will be very lazy as I will be running it at a very low boost , right ?


I think minimum mod to get to 500 bhp is :


550 or above injectors

bigger intercooler

ecu ( link 4)

turbo .


and possibly manifold if it is not straight bolt on as most people say gt30 is .


am i right ?can i expect safe 500bhp from the car with the above cost and mod ?


if I was to do this in stages and buy the turbo and do no remap but run it at low boost , will it work ?


many thanks

That's what the info is though isn't it?. What people think and have experienced is all over the forum.

You are asking for it to be laid out for you to make it easier for you. Which is spoon feeding.

How did you read for 5 hours and not figure out that an rb25 can easily make that power, that pretty much everyone talks kW, that Hypergear high flows bolt straight on, that a gt35 will be a lag monster etc.....?

You will get heaps of different answers, time to learn and make your own decisions.

You did say you and found lots of dif opinions, so do you expect anything dif from a new thread asking the same thing???

Here ya go, this should get you started, be warned it may take you more than 5hrs of research to learn all thats needed.

Then again maybe not, it all comes down to you.

OK. Even though you don't need assurance, here goes.

You can do it. You can do a good job if you out your mind to it. I believe in your abilities. You're really good at cars. Never give up. Don't stop believing. Keep on being you, you are wonderful.

For someone with limited funds you sure have alot of funds to spend, from your recent threads. Anyway you're asking what turbo's best for you? gtx3076 is what you want. And i mean that in a medical sense.

Trust me, i'm a doctor.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
