GT30 will slot in just, GT35 would be more ideal though.

The T04z is bigger than the GT35 again, miles above what you need :D

Although you better pray to the gods that motor lasts at those kinda levels as if your gonna circuit it, it wont last forever unfortunately

you know DVS32R...lots of people say that about big turbos. Not to be negative or rude, but its not always like that when your racing. On some tracks its almost impossible to maintain high revs to keep on boost. And once you fall outta that powerband for a split second...by god it feels like almost half the field just passed you.

GT35R would be more suitable for 500's, but I hope you're going to add a full engine rebuild to that list for those power levels. Try not to get so hung up on a particular hp number, but rather go with what feels best when driving in real world situations. Alot of times, less power can be faster if that makes any sense.

i agree with that too, ive had no experience with curcuit yet, lag is heaps annoying, its good for dynos and winning comps etc,

reason for my comment is my neighbour races his mini(yes totally different) and is always in the high revs, probably due to gearing etc

yeh...if you could afford gearbox and diffs to change ratios around so you could have say six gears and the ratios were tailored to suit your setup and the tracks you mainly race on...that could help...so your in the right gear and in the power band pretty well all the time...like i said before...one corner were say 2nd is too high and wheelspin is an issue and 3rd just bogs down and drops you outta powerzone...what do you do? Personally I wish more money was available.

I agree , with the cost of close spaced gear sets and final drives these days most find it easier to make the engines power characteristics suit the available gearing .

The GT3582R is probably going to cover what you want to do but cam selection and headwork will make changes to its power delivery . The secret would be making lots of mid range torque and not having it start at 5500 revs . Most people developing engines to do this use cam profiles with a fair bit of lift but not the extended valve open period (extended duration) . Cams like this don't need to bet set up with a lot of overlap which turbo engines don't tend to like if they have a restrictive exhaust side because they get reversion . If you can uncork the exhaust side and run high octane fuels the static CR could probably stand to come up a bit from 8.5:1 . Depends on budget I suppose .

Cheers A .

Problem is as lift increases generally so does duration. Yes you can increase lift without increasing duration to a point but then ramp angles are effected so greatly it cause valve train issues and any self respecting cam grinder wouldn't do it (after the practical max lift has been reached).

Another option is to run the longer duration cam but advance the intake and retard the exhaust, this can be used to offset a bit of the increase in overlap.

I'm talking about the sorts of cams commonly available in the aftermarket - 26 something by 10 odd mm lift . If he wants to keep the state of tune of the engine suitable for std gearbox/diff ratios long periods cams may make it peaky . Falling off the cams is no better than falling off the boost threshold . The burning question is what useful power range and starting where .

Cheers A .

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
