Hi all.

Just wondering, what would give greater acceleration off the line on a 6MT or 5AT (Haven't decided which one to get yet) 2004 350gt, a supercharger kit or a twin turbo kit? How much cheddar do you think it will set me back installed? Also, what would you guess the 0-100 times will be after these mods??

thanks :P

You will have more trouble getting out of the hole with a TT than a supercharger, if you can get the power down (maybe fit some massively wide tyres) then 0-100 for TT should theoretically be faster than a supercharger, because your torque-band will be much wider. Also TT > SC in 0-400. As for cost, you can do an off-the-shelf SC for < $7K if you're handy with a spanner and have a free weekend. TT you'll be looking at maybe $12-$15K and DIY will be pretty damn hard (it'll probably take you a full day and half just the change the exhaust manifolds).

thanks kam.

one other thing where bouts can i get all this work done?? i don't know of anywhere where i can buy, for example, the greddy TT kit. and then i need to find someone who's confident in being able to install it..

It won't be a DIY job.. i just don't have the experience to feel comfortable a complex mod like this

You'll need to verify RHD fitment of the TT kits you look at, I'm pretty sure the GReddy is LHD ONLY. From memory not a lot of people make RHD kits anymore...You can get HKS Single turbo, APS (if they still make them), GTM and maybe power enterprises. I think it has to do with manifold design clearing the steering hardware.

A lot of VQ FI tuning comes out of the states these days, contact Adam at Z1 Auto ( www.z1auto.com ), he's pretty good and may be able to find a solution for you. Otherwise Sam @ GTM ( http://www.gtmotorsports.com/ ) or you can order the HKS kit from Nengun.

For fitment there should be a number of reputable turbo shops in your state...if you're in Vic RE Customs, Chasers, Status Tuning just to name a few (most of my work is done at RE customs).

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
