I agree with this sometimes in the case of boredom, but now that my car is where I want it modification wise, I have no desire to modify further but still want to keep it.

Best if you can modify a car 'properly' not long after you buy it, that way if you keep it a few years you will get some good use out of the mods, and not blow your cash.

Unfortunately some workshops/owners don't know what the good mods are.

3076R Low doesn't look TOOOOO different to a stock turbo ;) Considering I'm without a heatshield at the moment anyway. Dat noise tho, pppsssssssss

Edit: Hmmmm, what do they make on E85? 330rwkw?

Buy my entire setup.

GTX 3076 will make 450kw or so on the right setup. Greg made 380 with his auto... return flow, stock airboc, 3 inch dump and intake. Stock officer. Personally I would go with the gtx71 for some extra response.

Garrett list them at 230-390kw

Go hypergear bro. Cheaper, local support and some really nice turbos on their menu lately.

i call bullshit on 450... no offense scotty.... but seriously what is that like 100psi?

Apparently 45psi, someone has done it on a SR20.

That said, was in a magazine. I was sceptical, but given I got 405 on 28ish psi, I see no reason that 15 extra psi wouldn't result in 50kw...

Inb4 stao

Inb4 toby's 400kw

HG turbo checking in, 15,000km and spinning like the day it was put in

I'm not saying they don't work but really they are not very much if at all cheaper than Garretts and due to having a plain bearing core you do lose some response(and that cool whirr down noise after the cars turned off :P) I just don't see them as excellent value for money.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
