Actually I try to pass my experience on to the newer guys.

Everyone want to build their current car, but it is rarely the best option

I'm building my current car, what's my best option Hatish?

I have done it from start to finish.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't, Don't.

Just sell and buy a turbo car. Seems like a hassle? Its far, far less hassle than going the alternate direction.

+1000.

Stuff conversions.

All I did was auto-to-manual my GTT, which is pretty darn simple compared to +T'ing a GT, and it was a total headache. I'm happy with it now but it's not worth the trouble.

Also, since these cars are worth peanuts these days, unless you have the tools, skills, time and space to do it yourself you're going to spend a big chunk of the value of your car on parts & labour to get stuff done properly. I know I have.

In all seriousness I am considering putting my wreck into a 4WD GT-Four, because that would be awesome.

In theory you could run a high comp N/A with turbo with E85. I would, if I could go back in time I would consider a higher CR but I'd never recommend it.

I'd say conversions are really only viable if it doesn't exist in any other way, like Hamish said, a LS1 in a R34.

But a Turbo GTT does exist, a manual GTT does exist.

Time is money, especially if it's someone else's time.

That's how I feed my kids though Greg. Shutttup. :P

If it's as simple as slapping a stock manifold and turbo in there, and nistuning it on e85 I can't see the issue, costs would be fairly low and results would be great, till the auto slips. Haha.

It's all fun and games until you can't run Nistune on R34 N/A's and you get an e-manage and then can't get it working and/or legal or RWC so you put a standard GTT engine in and then the wiring doesn't work right so you give up on Nistune because nothing talks to the auto correctly so you end up saying forget it use an e-manage then the engine blows up and you wait a year for a rebuild and then everything else explodes and scotty fixes it after 6 years of crap and then you slightly bend it

just buy a gtt

    • I think last I checked it was 35cm from fender to wheel center. I heard u can go up to 45-48cm before handling his impacted. But I need to check again. I know I was about 1.2 cm off being close to max recommended. 
    • You'd need to weld on an external gate to achieve that number though. I can't remember seeing anyone make 500hp at the wheels with the stock manifold / internally gated turbo.
    • Suspension Component Question Looking for some feedback based on people's experiences! I know this has been loosely covered in other threads but I can't find any direct answers/experience. I'm up for some bush/rod replacements and was interested in a hybrid approach between hardened rubber and pillowball kit. Why not choose one or the other? Well, this is for my daily driver, which I track once or twice a year. I like a stiff car and a sporty feel but I don't want to compromise the chassis too much with 100% pillowball gadgetry.  I know from experience and a tonne of reading that not all components affect ride quality in the same way - eg. in my case, coilover top mounts should be hardened rubber as pillowball transfers way too many undesirable qualities and doesn't have much more upside than a good hardened rubber. But, pillowball tension rods translate to much better turn-in/steering response and make the car significantly sharper, without negatively impacting ride quality in a significant way.  I'm not TOO bothered by NVH (to a degree). So, with context out of the way, does anyone have any experience with a hybrid approach as mentioned above? I'm going to replace all components over time so am seeking guidance on: - front tension rods - upper camber arms - rear lower control arm - rear traction rod - rear upper camber arm - rear toe adjuster rod  Secondly, is there any reason why this is a bad idea? Or any other info/wisdom that I might not be considering. Cheers 🫶
    • That's good to hear I'll stick with the stock I hear they are good for 500hp and I'm only shooting for 350-400 once I can get this thing sorted and get to actually building it. 
    • The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.
