Its that time again!!! Turbo has shat it self............. so im looking at doing a decent upgrade. Im not to sure what i should be going for and i was looking for feed back/advice on what other people are running and what power figures they are getting. Currently im running stock turbo and i use the car for drift.

The slide turbo's appear to offer a cheap excellent value upgrade.

I couldn't bring myself to spending 2k on a GCG highflow for only 250rwkw odd. Spend another couple hundred and throw a tidy little GT3076r 500hp turbo on the side of it, thicker headgasket, 20-22odd pounds of boost and you'll have a damn good attempt at cracking 300rwkw. :rofl:

Shaun at Boostworx doesn't have issues having the rb25's holding together at such power levels/boost so it may be worth speaking to him to see what he recommends with regards to your spool expectations etc.

depending on what horsepower you want, when you want it to hit full boost, what mods you have done to your engine already

determine what turbo you should choose, i suggest you see an expert.

cause you dont want to waste all your money on something thats not going to suit your aplication

thats just what i think

I got my GT3076R turbo recently from ATS (Adelaide Turbo Services) and its going extremely well. Havent had a single issue yet and it looks extremly tidy and has stock appearance. Of course for now I have gone the option of using a Rb25 stock exhaust housing for the turbo but once I decide to get more power and redo the dump I'll get a different one put on. @ the moment looking for ~240kw or so before my engine shits itself then I'll have my own crack at 300kw with a different setup on the same turbo.

Paul, did you end up having the std compressor housing machined up to suit or did Bill simply use the gt30 comp cover and run a silicon elbow to the ic piping?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
