*shakes head at Cobey*....

On another note, sheldon, you should buy it ! Cant have me massively outlooking and out performing you ;)

Pssshh.. My car's going to sparkle brighter than Edward Cullen. You'll look like 2011 Sophie Monk next to me.

If i'm going to FI - it'll be the JWT Twin Turbo Kit.

nothing a 3588GTX and some NOS cant fix :P Once i can out drive the 450 ill upgrade but for now this kit is amazing quality and good for around 450HP :)

Plus if u buy off cobey u get my help once u put it together since i will have done the same :)

The 3588 turbo bolts on the housing of the 3037 turbo FYI so those who want to go upto 650HP you can ..

Just a quick question mate, I've got the HKS 3037 single kit as well with about 350whp on stock internals on 5psi. With a built engine are you saying that even running more boost you'll top out at about 450whp?

Yep, i will know for sure once i do it when my parts arrive but 450 is around the max that 3037 can flow, u could get the new GTX wheel and get a little more out of it but 3588GTX is your next step up for 650.

What is this GTX3588? never heard of it till this thread and the GT35 has a larger rear than GT30.

You may have issues fitting the GT35 under the passenger side as HKS have arranged it. If you want more go, I would just dump some e85 in the tank and retune. Should be good for over 500.

GTX3582 i mean !

it fits on the same housing as the 3037 i was told. So only a $1800 upgrade.

Upgrading to a 35R is a possibility, but then id want a bigger inter cooler, and the piping doesn't flow that great when creeping on decent power.

it is a fantastic piece of kit.

I may still do it if it doesn't sell, but i don't wanna make a 35R fit.

I've got my eye on other solutions.

Hey Aaron, I'm curious how long you've had the kit on yours on stock internals??

I've always wanted to go FI but i've always had doubts on doing it on stock internals because of reliability.

So is it reliable? Any problems?

I know keeping a low boost keeps it safe but how safe is safe?

I've had it on for more than 6 months now and so far not a hint of any problems. I track my car monthly and do give the poor girl quite a bit of stick but so far it's held up really well. I was hoping to get at least 500whp with a built engine though but looks like it might not be possible...

Thats good to hear its not giving you any trouble. I'm hoping to have mine sorted by early next year.

HKS seem to think 450hp with the built engine, I think the turbo is capable of that, plus a little more. I reckon if you went E85 and a good tune, you would see your power figure easy.

Pretty much what Scott said, looking back on it!pinch.gif

Ahhh.... E85.... if only I could buy it from a petrol station instead of 200L drums. I'm not a big fan of having a couple of those drums in the garage during summer...

Nice... I track my car about once a year. All NA at the moment so keeps going and going but makes me happy to hear your stock internals is solid enough for FI and track once a month. Lots of inspiration for me!

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
    • oh yeah, reminded this morning....bin lids frozen shut too
    • In my case not, because of total reno. But yeah.
    • Did you use an electronic speedo drive? Does you speedometer read all the way to 180km?
