well atleast im getting some feed back

but i was not fussed about lag if the turbo was still going to be faster than the stock turbo thats on there

R31Nismoid, youv said it wouldent be faster untill much later on so my question is answered( atleast from one person mabye other people have other ideas)

and there are gt70's http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...eplacement.html have a read and you will see

why they dont list it on the other page i dont know

either way i knew it would be very laggy but thought mabye it would still be better than the stock turbo

Define "better".

As you asked on a STOCK car - it's utterly pointless. You'll make @ best 220rwkw before the ECU has had enough, injectors & AFM are also @ limits.

So a car making nothing before 4500rpm, potentially then having the ECU hit R&R with such agressive ramp up, and then only after that making just a tad more than a factory turbo.. SO...

No, it will not be faster.

It's simple logic mate, doesnt take rocket science. Have a look in the RB25 thread @ the list of mods people have when installing GT3076/GT3540's.

The mods are long, and plentiful because that is whats required to make use of the turbo and actually realise the benefits of installing it.

Putting that turbo on, IMO you will not see decent boost/power (280-300rwkw) until at least 4000rpm ish. Add to the fact you need to get:

- injectors

- AFM

- ECU/tune

- clutch/maybe diff

- new dump, spacers, new piping & other mods to fit the turbo

- all the labour/effort associated

You've easily minced 7k without starting. And who knows what else will need attending to along the way.

Even if you don't get all the above... You will still need a spacer, custom piping, dump etc to fit it to begin with which is wasted money.

Yes its cheap, yes its bigger than the turbo you have now, sadly that means nothing.

With a .63 housing it may work, if you have the coin for all the mods to get it fueled up and flowing...

The stock turbo would probably still be faster to the speed limit though, a GT30 would be a much better choice. What are your plans for the car?

    • 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.
