I know it's not someone selling an £1800 turbo DIRT cheap.. but what do you guys think, will it hold?

What fittings would be needed for this, I've not done a turbo upgrade before.. my R came with a turbotechnics gt28r so this will be my first

...or is it the usual fleebay stuff :doh:

 

[olliecast]

i`d put a bollock on it being a dirt cheap one mate

Why on earth would you need such a big turbo?

 

[GTiR-Aholic]

yeah thought so.. i type in gt25, gt28, gt30.. gt40/45r and they all come up with their respective genuine parts & prices but then a group of cheaper versions.. didn't know copies were being manufactured. I guess they're using the castings from known blown cores and changing the internals for cheaper replacements?

big turbo wanted to replace the big vent on the bonnet ..... LOL - nah I got some crazy idea i want to try out but not reveal until the 2010 meet, if i can keep me gob shut that is lol

That's not siutable for a small displacement engine....

I'm sure one of the foreign R's was running a T66 on a 2.2stroker.

But if you want to go fast in a straight line why not buy a Skyline or Supra?

Huge turbos all seem a little pointless in a hatch that is renowned for having a weak gearbox?

Each to their own i guess.

 

[GTiR-Aholic]

I totally agree Tim.. but I saw someone was in the process of producing reinforced casings for the gearbox's?.. if not I'll look to getting it done locally.. trial & error.. but will wanting a quaiffe gearset for it. But my guess is transfer box as well will need looking at.

not sure, but yeah my engine is not standard.

[GTiR-Aholic]

hmm okay, I knew was too good to be true, was hoping you'd come along and say yeah mate I've bought 1 of them cheap turbos.. Top Stuff! lol.

Down the bank it is then :doh:

Any idea what fittings I'd need for this turbo though?
