300rkw? yeah that turbo will get you 300, i'm not an expert on VQs, but i hear good things about them, have you consider a twin turbo setup?

nah, 300rwhp, to begin with, but after upgrades hoping for around 500ish rwhp,

does it matter that the turbo is suited for a diesel???

i have thought about twins but im trying to keep the build cost at a minimum, twins would be good coz of the v configuration, tho im happy with a big single :ermm:

thats exaclty why im asking mate, i have been searching but getting mixed results with the gt4088r, my first response was it would be wayy to big...

and my next one was the precision pt67 as it is smaller, comparible to the 35r, but didnt know if it would run out of puff etc???

also should add i have been in a vl which had a gt4088r but slightly larger rear and it seemed pretty damn good, not the most responsive turbo tho not the most laggy either...

what would be perfect would be spool/boost characteristics for each, as when they would start and reach full etc

You been on one with a GT35?

I'll assume the answer is a no.

Select the turbo that fits your power goal, it's as simple as that. There is SOOOO much information in the pages of this forum about GT30/GT35/GT40 series turbos that you couldn't possibly be in the dark

    • 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!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
