If you're looking for around 280rwkw then an HKS 3037 would do the job quite nicely and have a bit of room to play with because it's around the biggest you'll get that can still have an internal gate and save money not buying the external seperately.

Would also go with the Power FC as there are a heap of good tuners around that won't have any troubles getting that sort of power at the wheels for you.

For those kind of figures you will definitely have to look at injectors and all the other upgrades to go with it but will be able to get away with stock cams.

I've got my internals just dropped in and am running a HKS 3037 with Power FC which will hopefully dynoed on friday to see what it will make (hoping for 280 - 300rwkw). When i get my figures i'll post them so there's another comparison for you. I wouldn't be expecting your internals to last for too long with that much power if they're still stock either.

yes what he said. I am using a GT30 garrett with external gate and at 1 bar with all the other goodies except internals it makes around 280rwkw at 1 bar (low boost setting). I do notice sometimes that on the pfc you get a knock reading of around 65 when giving it a hard time at the top of 3rd gear and u get the check engine light flash. So if you dont trash it 2 much ur engine should live awhile.

Easy way to get there - buy DoughBoys car, sell your car  Will save you alot of money.

Grepins 2835 makes an easy 280rwkw, with boost in quite early compared to GT30 or 3037.

INASNT, have you posted up a copy of your dyno sheet yet?  if not, why not?:P

I have posted my 312rwkw run in the vic section before from autosalon dyno comp at 1.4 bar boost.

Me waits for the posts about not bothering to relocate the throttle body...

dido buy Doughboys car, it ran a 12 flat first go, and is running well under what a HKS 3040 /can produce...currently has 280rwks (about?)

If you want to run an 11sec 1/4 i wouldnt be getting a brass button puck clutch, and id be looking at putting aside some money for good mechanical diff and suspension mods

Hi docile33, suggestions follow;

*ECU

Power FC is good, allow for Z32 AFM

*Turbo

Garrtett GT3040 external gate :aroused:

*Exhaust manifold

The standard one has to go:thumbdwn:

*Cams

Tomei Pocams, work with VVT, don't need adj pulley. :)

*550cc inj and new fuel rail

OK, they will do the job :D

*044 pump

OK, plenty of capacity :(

*600x300x90 fmic

What type, B&P or T&F and what brand?

What size pipework?

*brass button clutch

Personally I wouldn't trust a single plate clutch to do an 11 in a GTST. Plus brass button centre is very agressive. I would look at an OS Giken twin plate. :aroused:

*hks / trust type r bov

Irrelevant

*dump pipe

What type, split of combined?

What diameter exhaust pipework?

*relocated throtle bory to front of plenum

Yuk, why? :spew:

*ebc

It's your money.

*later maybe forgies

If the tuning is not spot on, maybe earlier (not later) :Paranoid:

*Tyres

Nittos or Goodyear drag radials

*Suspension

Whiteline springs and Koni shocks, keep the rear spring rate low. :uh-huh:

My 20 cents worth :cheers:

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
