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

    • 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?
