Spooner Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hey everyone Car is just about ready to get back on the streets after 3 weeks off. The stock turbo decided to let go on me up Mt Coot-tha on the skyline cruise that weekend and I had to nurse it home. It didnt really bother me at the time as it was the exhaust wheel that decintegrated so my cat copped the brunt of it, and not the engine internals. With the help of my housemate (thanks Kev), a brand spankin new Garrett GT3076 is fitted and the car is ready to be towed to Predator to get custom dump and intake pipes made up for the 'larger' huffer hanging off my RB25. So yeh, I cant wait to get it back on the road and feel the kick of the new turbo spooling up big time. Just thought I would share with you all Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182300-just-because-im-excited-guys/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunta Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 nice choice of turbo I made 303rwkw at 18psi with the same turbo (with the .84 rear) tuned by predator In theory it should be a good set up....spools up nicely but yet to fell the full effect, but the less said about that in public the better Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182300-just-because-im-excited-guys/#findComment-3309731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My turbo has a .82 rear housing, other mods so far are only FMIC, exhaust and air filter. I plan on getting a microtech and some bigger injectors soon enough....
