Wat do u guys think about this setup.. considering i have atm EMS computer, BOSCH 60hp Fuel pump, stock intercooler and stock injectors + High flowed T3/T4 which is really laggy. the GT30 im gatting has got the .63 exhaust and .72 inlet.

Ill apreciat any comments and opinions about this purchase.

Yup - get a FMIC. You will need 550cc injectors .

Get a 600HP fuel pump too - joking ! !

I personally don't like EMS ECU's - what type is it ?

Possibly better with a PFC, Microtech or Wolf.

Have you got EBC ?? I would recomend this too.

GT3040 is a nice turbo

What manifold are you using ?

PS I have a GTR cooler with GTS-T mounts for sale - see the for sale section ( /end shameless plug)

This sounds like a GCG Kit... am i correct ??? :wassup:

Anyhow. As others have said.

You'll need Injectors and FMIC before you even can think about the turbo.

I'd also suggest getting the GT3040 with a .82 rear housing.

it wont be too laggy at all.

I'm having one fitted ATM. Will be done in 3-4 weeks.

is my calculation correct in saying that it ~250rwkw ???

Good power on stock injectors...

Bringing out a good forumla worked out here on these forums

HP = (370 / 5) * 80% = 59.2 hp Per Injector

59.2 * 6 = ~355.20HP worth through the injectors (that aint at the wheels)

The above 80% being that there is a 20% allowance for cold start/run/ etc.

And your virtually making that at the wheels and not even close to maxing the injectors...

Mind you... i cant remember what fuel pressue that the forulma worked on.

I cant remember it all :)

So if someone can work out how too allow for the fuel pressure that'd be great!

Thanks alot guys for your comments.. as i talked to my mechanin i asked him to make me one custom manifold and oil lines + custom FMIC installed and ill get the tubo and wastegate...

i heard that i can make close to 240rwkw with this setup even more.. (i wish :) ).

R31NISMOID: yes it is their deal which is pretty good as i went around and sked other dealers..

So guys any thing else that i need to be aware of?? plz let me know...

And about the injectors i might put the BOCSH 600cc on l8r on.. or if a better deal ill put it now..

At the moment all i want is a 12 Sec. car.

What you guys think i might get down the 1/4 with the above setup???

Thank you guys again for your comments..

you'll make 240rwkw with ease.

more upto 280rwkw.

But your motor wont last the distance.

So 250rwkw to be safe.

As for your run... i ran a 12.9 with 203rwkw so you'll smash a 12.5 or less easily.

Just gotta get the power to the ground

I have GT3040 BB CHRA with T04B 0.6 A/R comp housing machined out. Also Sierra Cosworth internal gate exh housing with 0.63 A/R. I'm using 0.6 comp cover so that it clears exh manifold.

All support sfuff is totally STOCK except injectors (550), FMIC and Microtech. So stock exh manifold, inlet manifold, cams and throttle body.

I am getting 265rwkW (Dyno Dynamic) at 1.2 bar with power dropping off a fraction above 6300rpm, but still 250-255 at redline. I have "full boost" at 3800rpm.

I am very happy with setup but definately less responsive than stock turbo below 3500rpm . I wouldn't recommend 0.87 exh housing, would be too laggy unless absolute top end power is wanted but then only worthwhile with nice tubular exhaust. Heaps experienced tune shops here recommend 0.6 odd A/R, heaps of power can still be made.

So that's the only other thing, I reckon mine would respond really well to nicer exh manifold.

Hey INSANT, could you post a couple more pics of teh manifold? Like one from the other side please? Just curious about the GCG manifolds and how the runners are shaped + welded. Thansk!

I snapped that pic just before it got put on the car about 1 month ago. I had a few problems with the manifold because when we first tried to bolt it to the head it would not seal properly, so it had to be taken off and refaced. They we reinstalled it and when the turbo was bolted on the exh housing was touching the block because the flange on the manifold was slighly angled towards the block, so the turbo had to come off and flange modified to the exh wouldnt touch. Finially its all back together and should have the braided lines and new dumps etc finished. I only had my camera there the first time.

I would not recommend this manifold, and its not a gcg manifold or turbo. I just hope it works well!

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
