Both me and a mate are running small ex housing GT2871R's on FJ's. While I havent had a chance to lean on the setup yet, my mates FJ 1600 has been running 216rwkw @ 16psi for quite a while, mainly only been used for track work. Super responsive with minimal lag he loves it, I'm just hanging to get mine running similar.

something like a gt3076r with a .69a/r exhasut side would be perfect for a mild FJ, should see you past 300rwkw

Thanks guys

I've also been recommended a GT3071R with 0.6AR compressor

Pardon my ignorance as I'm not up with turbo sizes but will these bolt on and is this an equivilent to a GT3071R ? http://www.digi-hardware.com/tr43gen2.html

The manufacturer recommended this but the internal wastegate is optional plus I was worried it was too big.

I assume the std turbo has internal wastegate?

R34, The non intercooled FJ had a .63A/R rear housing on a T03 mount flange. The intercooled FJ had a .48A/R.

As it's fairly well known, I bought the DR recently from Qld and I'm going to use it as a track/hillclimb car.

The sky is the limit as to what you want to do, but the first thing you do is punt the ECU and get an a/mkt tuneable unit, then bigger exhaust, then bigger or more efficient intercooler (bigger isn't necessarily better) then injectors, all depending on your budget.

I think personally a 2871R is too small as I think it will run out of puff up towards the red line.

I'm going with, as stagefummer suggests, an GT3076R with external wastegate and .86A/R rear along with 3" exhaust & 550cc injectors in a custom O'Ring fuel rail. With this I'm looking towards 400+HP at the wheels and then your problem is getting it to the ground effectively.

My only concern with Hypergear is it sounds too cheap, remember all of the Monsta T70 turbos that flooded ebay a couple of years ago, they were claimed to be ex USA but in fact were coming out of China, into USA and then to OZ and they were farked, would not spool up at all. Just be sure what your buying as cheap usually is.

Cheers, D

Yeah Dennis

I'm looking at Autronic SMC or Vipec now.

Would aiming for 400hp create a problem with lag?

:P

Had a rally Mazda years ago and built it with small periphial ports rather than go for the big ones of the all out power monsters.

Section of the rally up the side of the Darling scarp (Zig Zag) beat all the other Hi po Mazdas and the works Stanzas (Dunkerton,Fury) and Works Fords (Carr, Bond)

One rare claim to fame for a poor privateer but taught me to chase low down power too

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
