yeah second hand gt3540's are worth anywhere from $900 to $1200, i picked up a brand new one for $1450 2 weeks ago.

drop the price to 1200 and you should be able to get close to that price

this turbos hasnt even been pushed into its efficiency range yet. So its barely even been used. I payed 1800. Polished it. Put the metal elbow and did roughly 1500kz. So its still basically new. But i am negotiable. Be realistic im not gona go too low.

And u cant get them brand new from a shop for 1600. Min is around 1750

approx 18psi. i dont want to push this any further because i have a single plate clutch and obviously the std bottem end, if it was a built engine with a twin plate, i would go up to around 26psi. For street this is more than enough to scare you.

To do the same setup i have done with this turbo is not a costly exercise.. Turbo cost me around 1800 then delivery, manifold was 250 then hadto modify it to be perfect, gate was 570.. You could use cheaper parts, but i dont want to stuff around fixing things twice, so i went braided everything and made another wastegate outlet with a screamer, full 3" exhaust, 4" intake pipe, Put the elbow on because if i was to put a silicone bend it would melt.

So realisticly the figures to set up everything would be roughly 3,700 or so doing it right.

    • And what is the significance of the Italian word for "reserved"? AFAIK, it means nothing WRT GTRs.
    • There's no way that we can tell what they were for because they are not stock. Somebody had something installed that needed an earth and took it 98% out.
    • Hey SAU,  I pulled my fascia apart to remove my cluster and found these snipped grounded wires, and a black wire off to the side. I was wondering if anyone knew what these were for?  To note: My headunit is not powered and has not been since I purchased the vehicle the cigarette lighter was not hooked up either, unsure if this has anything to do with it?
    • Welcome!  Any pics of the new GTR? You'd be amazed how many people have minimal plans initially. 🤣
    • Hello all I've been lurking around and reading many threads for quite some time, so I figured I may as well join in. I recently picked up a R33 GTR 3 V-SPEC RISERVATA that’s mostly stock. The car has always been a bit of a dream for me, and now I’m slowly starting to plan the next steps — nothing too crazy yet, but I’d like to keep it clean and responsive while pushing a bit more power.
