Only if you want laaaag, dont they use a 3076 chra? Way too big for the stock housings unless you are shooting for 300kw on 98. I would suggest staying as close to stock sized wheels as possible or you will have to factor in thousands in ecu, engine and gearbox mods.

yeah sorry i should have mentioned that

engine mods? nah. gearbox mods? shift kit SHOULD do it. however i notice the US guys are using new TCs to stop overheating. However this is before they do shift kits.

ECU is a necessity anyway, even if its to trim fuel on a stock setup

unless you have some way of controlling everything don't go bigger than a Sierra Stage 1. This is a proven good setup with the VQ25DET.....if you go bigger you WILL have lag issues.

I have the GT30/71 core with the Garrett BB set but I have spent a lot of time and money getting it sorted......only go this way if you find some way of controlling/modifing the Cams and Throttle restriction!

My suggestion is to go with Precision Turbo's in Wetherill Park.....while GCG are OK they have a very noisy barring......to me they don't sound right.

Cool, appreciate your feedback on GCG, i think I'll avoid them.

I'll do some more research and also give Precision a call when the time comes.

Turbo arrived today too, thanks Griffin!

Sold to me!

I ended up paying $100 for it, not sure if that's good or bad but to me it's a great insurance policy to have hi-flowed and ready to go in when the original one packs it in.

Um, no. Back one page you'll see it's sold (to me). thumbsup.gif

Cheers,

Jas

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
