Now im putting

  • A Geniune Garrett gt35 Bush bearing Turbo only done 2000km
  • Teal external Wastegate with screamer ( this is for the coppers only )
  • Sard fuel pump with reg..
  • All will be returned with Safc II.

what are your opionions.

What is the intended use of the car, i would be using a different turbo, and you will need full engine management and injectors, and screamers on a street car is plain stupid

Max psi will be 14psi

I was told My tuners that the safc will fix it for 14psi

The Turbo was also told would be fine

i know the full engine mangement would be better but i dont have 2g in my pocket atm.

as for Screamers.......they sound SEXY.....

Sorry to tell you mate, find a new mechanic. What they have told you is a shocking modification list, which if someone were to suggest that to me, i wouldnt ever go back there as they clearly have no idea.

You dont purchase a GT35 and run 14psi. You run 20-25psi+ on a 2.5ltr. Otherwise there is no point having the turbo on there.

Its not going to do anything but give you a laggy and unresponsive car.

To give you an idea, the turbo is capable of well into the 350rwkw marker, so only running around 240rwkw that you will be, is just pointless for a turbo of that sheer size.

Your far better off with a hi-flow or a better matched GT30XX turbo.

It will make around similar power (on around 15-16psi), but more importantly probably make boost 2000rpm earlier and be super responsive.

Also the use of a S-AFC for such a setup is also ridiculous. You need a fully programmable ECU. Not a $350 band aid :)

This is probably one of the worst 'my mechanic suggested' threads ive seen this year, i strongly urge you to go somewhere else

^^^ the best advise you could possibly listen too !!!!!!

GT35 14-15psi = calender to map response and a stop watch to record how long it will last with a SAFC tune :)

Okay.................. I printed this thread and showed it to my tuner

and he completly agrees with what R31Nismoid had to say......

Now he said to it wasnt a GT35............. I dont were i got the gt35 turbo from then

He said it Custom GT30........it was for there twin turbo supra...... but now there using t67 turbos

T3 flanged........ i know it is bush bearing and it need an external

They also said the should minimal lag or even no lag wif this turbo...

As for a computer he said it will run much better with a fully programmable computer but for now we can make it run on low setting with it......................

i should be getting a EMS Stinger soon

I dont believe "no lag" :blush:

A GT30 is roughly 260-320rwkw depending on config used.

I'd be asking what housings it has on there, and what wheel trims it has.

THEN we'll be able to tell ya as someone has probably used one before :D

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
