Depends what sort of turbo you plan on upgrading it to? If its something fairly big you might need injectors as well in which case an aftermarket computer/piggy back would be highly recommended.

haha, gotta make 260rwkw to be in this ilustrious club :P.

200rwkw from what ive read a hks gt2530 or a highflowed rb25 turbo should do the trick, consider upgrading the injectors and a good retune.

Carl h.Can you tell me where you purchased your turbo from and how much did you pay. (gt30r)

cheers

hey there.

i think i paid about 1.1k$ usd, it was quite dear but so far its potential has been well worth the exta bit of coin.

i mean come on if i was making 387whp on 17psi on a low compression motor then its most certianly a testimate to how efficent that turbo really is, i simply cannot wait till i get the motor back together to see what she can really do.

i got mine from www.cheapturbo.com, talk to ken as he knows quite a bit about turbos and what not.

Hi Russel, hows the work on your car going?

Well to tell you the truth.......... very slow at the moment :P

I have half the parts i need, some are lost in the post and im waiting for more to be sent :P and my turbo has been queued for inspection and weighing at a transport company :) (now wish i ordered all the stuff through Morrie). I ordered all the stuff 2 weeks ago and had my mate organised to tig all the stainless pipework together this weekend.

I decided to just run a 3" pipe off the turbo (GT3071R) for now with a 2" wastegate pipe plummed in just before the cat to keep costs down a bit, would have liked a new 4" stainless exhaust but cant afford to do it at the moment and dont really think ill need it and can always do it later.

I will need to make 2 new intercooler pipes and a new air filter pipe for this turbo and i can tell you the stainless bends all add up, especially the 4" ones, this will be done next weekend if my stuff turns up.

Apart from that im going to try and neaten up the engine bay a bit, move a few relays and put in another one to control the thermo fans through the computer.

Some stuff is still undecided like where the new catch can is going and where a few hoses will be run.

I still need to get some heat wrap for the manifold and dump pipe and a turbo blanket for now, the plan is to get it all ceramic coated as well once im happy with the setup.

I would like to have it back on the dyno very soon but i think it will still be about 4-5 weeks away.

And who is gonna tune the wolf for me..............? Well i guess ill stert speaking to some people when the time gets a bit closer.

Anyway thats where its at for now, ill take some pics as the work gets done and post them up for whoever is interested and hope to make some half decent numbers soon :P

Troy, i say go the SR. lighter. plus less weight right up the front (cause it's shorter). souds like crap, but who cares. people wont laugh as you drive round the outside of them at turn 1 EC...haha

lol..i got an email from my boss, he is a member of some yahoo email/motorsport mailing list...89 GTS which had a seized engine...im guessing no oil and ppl at the docks giving it some stick. It was goign cheap, me gots to thinking track car...and SR amy make easier/better power. But from what i have been reading its just propoganda and the price of the RB gear isnt that more expensive.

LOl, then i remembered that i already have a GTST that is quick enough to be fun...and im not Kerry Packer so have to make do with what i got. :)

cams are secret weapons, lol. cant give my specs sorry

Secret specs? LOL, hope you have spoken to your engine guy and sussed out the lifter aspect of the engine. Right now im struggling to work out how to make an engine reliably make power up top without fallign over because of the lifters pumping up :(

    • yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.
    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
    • Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
