I like something around 500bhp from fly which i think would be around 400 at wheel, right ? CONVERSION IS EASILY SEARCHABLE

I don't want to go forge or change cams at this stage . SEARCHABLE TO SEE WHAT STOCK ENGINE CAN DO

I have seen gt35,30,28 and number of others but not sure what is best for me . NO ONE DOES EXCEPT YOU, I SAY GT3076

everyone has a different opinion reading around . what would you get and what is the max power from the turbo at what psi ? WHOLE THREADS ON TURBO RESULTS = SEARCHABLE

I think gt30 is low mount which is good but gt35 or other are high mount and if i was to run gt 35 , I think it will be very lazy as I will be running it at a very low boost , right ? VERY SEARCHABLE TO SEE TYPICAL RESULTS FROM THIS TURBIZZLE

I think minimum mod to get to 500 bhp is :

550 or above injectors

bigger intercooler

ecu ( link 4)

turbo . PLENTY OF SEARCHABLE ON WHAT MODS NEEDED FOR POWER LEVLES - FUEL ECU ETC

and possibly manifold if it is not straight bolt on as most people say gt30 is .

am i right ?can i expect safe 500bhp from the car with the above cost and mod ? THIS ONE COULD BE DISCUSSABLE, ONCE YOU HAVE DECIDED ON A SETUP

if I was to do this in stages and buy the turbo and do no remap but run it at low boost , will it work ? ANY TURBO CAN BE RUN AT LOW/ZERO BOOST...BUT NO ONE WOULD, THEY'D WANT TO CAIN IT, HUMAN NATURE

dude I'm all in favour of helping those that need it, but those that don't help themselves I'm not so keen on. I've made some notes above to assist you in your quest. I'd advise do some more research, decide on a setup that will work for your goals and budget, then put it forward for discussion and for people to make recommendations on. Just asking for info to be broadly given to you really pisses ppl off, gets you less genuine replies, and ties up the forums on here.

Some of my questions as said was for confirmation of what was read

But cool mate no more replies will work it out.

What annoys other is thinking i am lazy and I can't be as i want to do it all or most diy and you can't fo it unless you know what you are doing

But then u need help everyone now and then which most people on this forum are brilliant at giving apart from few odd one

Welcome to the friendly skyline club, I'm sure you want to become a paying member now. This used to be a good place for help once but seems all the older crew have moved on.

You should help him . you know, so he stays.

Give a man a turbo he turbos for a day.

Teach a man to turbo he turbos for a lifetime.

Boost on brother.

This forum has the knowledge, but the same questions get asked all the time and they are the most entry level questions imaginable, if you have serious questions that cant be answered by a simple google they come and ask.

but you really need to apply building your own knowledge first by learning and yes it may not be the quick way but it is the only way to really understand what it is your trying to do...

I have mate don't know why some don't get it

So many choices wanted to get further views but of course all posts are currently joke

You already have too many choices and you want MORE opinions??? Lol. Sorry mate. Opinions are like arseholes, everyone's got one. The signal to noise isn't going to be any better if you ask the same old question again.

Honestly, do your research. Form your own opinion, and go with it. The decision will be yours, it will be based on the information available and you can justify the choice to yourself. And it will be a better decision than "some random dude on the internet said it was good" because you know what you want and you put the thought into it yourself.

I can't count how many times I've spent 5 hours trawling forums for info. It happens. When it gets a bit much, make a spreadsheet of the important factors to you. Or there's another tactic, Say you have 4 items to choose from. Pick two at random and pick the better one out of those two. Don't hesitate, just pick one. Right. Now look at the other two. Pick one. The two winners - put them together. Pick one. That's your final choice. Once you've done all the research you just need to trust your gut instinct.

we are friendly, we haven't told him to neck himself yet :)

well you see, most of the smart arse replies are actually from the older crew..

ok let's play nice kids..

OP, what power do you want? and at what RPM do you want to hit your targeted boost? and the final question.. how much money do you want to blow?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
