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 ?

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/prod410.htm

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....

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
