hey ppl i recently had my motor die on me.... uterly dead and i am looking at doing a few upgrades along with the rebuild....

my current mds include a 3" turbo bak zorst, fmic, bleed valve, safc2 and a pod filter....

am getting forged pistons and gtr rods put in, now all i am wondering about is wat do ppl think would be the best turbo my car is an auto, and i like the power lower down for better acceleration othr than massive top speed

what kind of budget ?

this one looks tasty , internally gated gt30 flanged for rb20/25s . Its pretty new though so I havent heard any experiences with it

apart from that gcg do rebuilds of your stock turbo up to 450hp , full ball bearing , steel wheels .

i JUST fitted a GCG high flow, and can say that while the response is slightly down the mid range power when it does come on is awesome....

this is all before a tune as well, so am keeping it to a respectable .9 bar

not really that cheap tho ... but excellent plus factor that you dont have to stuff around with anything else to make it fit as its externally identical !

total cost was $1950 the price of the tubby ... plus a fwe $ for gaskets and copper washers ..

i also changed the oil at teh same time, was about time to do it ...

when i took off the water lines, basically the content of the rad pissed out, so replaced all the coolent as well ..

i already have 3" turbo back, walbro pump, hks pod, evc 4, and a pfc and malpassi fpr, and 480cc injectors waiting to be installed....

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
