Paul - be aware the 2540's will be horrible on the track. Especially the tracks you guys have where you are on and off the throttle a lot.

I know changing turbo's is no big deal but it is something to consider as for a track car they don't get much worse than 2540's for a set-up. (unless it has a 3.0L engine)

Everyone,

Firstly thanks for your input.

Although im going to track this R32 it still has to get me to work 2-3 times a week, thats about 5000km per year, the J-Boy thing looks nice but with the cage and everything else it is a little too trackie and not enough streetie for me. And the main thing is its in QLD and rego swap and that side of the hassle. Im keen to also learn the black art of suspension set up and do it my way.

After driving the 2540's Im happy, boost was on full at about 4000 rpm, and a fatter mid range is possible once the outlet and inlet is freed up from the restrictions (2.5 cat and STD airflow's) and cams are worked for mid range. Keep in mind I do have a 3lt animal donk ready to drop in so I think I will stick with the vspec.

I have had very few people telling we its a rip off and too expensive, so Im happy to part with the cash. I have advised that I will take the car and a deposit will be coming on Friday.

Thanks everyone for your opinions, and I will unveil the final product on the 2nd Aug once its completed and registered. Im taking the car for 2 weeks to track ready her before I push her round the track and put it on the road!

New post to come!

Thanks again everyone.

FYI,

I have paid a deposit on the car and have it at home, I will pay for it in full next week when it gets registered.

The engine comes out this weekend to have the sump baffle put in, and a few there things as well. Beers will be on for anyone who wants to pop in, except fatz, he will slow production and drink all the resources!

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
