Bought a turbo today

[UndergroundR32]

Car: GVR-4
Mods so far: Full suspension, BJ stage 3 head, ROSS 8.5:1, Crower rods, knife edged stock crank, stock port and polish intake and stock TB...ect.

After debating between a Garrett and a Green for reasons which aren't important, and after talking to a number of people I decided to go with a T3/T4 50 trim with a stage 3 wheel and a .63 a/r turbine housing. I ordered it from AGP with the package they're offering on their homepage. The picture below being what the setup basically includes. I especially like the design of the SFP exhaust manifold with the wastegate having it's own runner.
What I still need is fuel management, which I plan to go with the AEM EMS, a clutch which will probably be ACT2600lbs. with a street disc, and camshafts.
What I'm looking to know is what you recommend in terms of Cam grind. Is it going to be worth it more for me to get 272 on the intake side, or 264? Also where is the cheapest place to get all of these, including the cams, clutch, FPR and 7xx injectors?

what did you end up paying for that entire setup?

 

[P8ntBalla]

i would say if your heads arent ported just go with the 264i/272e.

 

[rdrkt]

Good call my man. You should love it.

Read again. Under my mods I have a stage 3 head from BJ's Cylinder Head Service. Street and strip porting. I could get into specifics, but I don't remember off the top of my head... Bowl and Chamber...ect...

Get the 272/272 combo. They will make the most power in the RPM range that your turbo will opperate. BTW I don't think you'll need a FPR.

when did the GVR4 have heads? I thought it only had one head? jk, I bought my AEM EMS from coximports for 1350 shipped. and I would say the 272/272 cams, there are two guys around here with 2g GSTs one is a 95 and ones a 99, the 95 made less power in the mid range and less up top with a Hann super 20g and 264/272 cams, and the 99 made 337whp pump gas, 19psi 15deg timing of so, he had 272 272 cams and made more midrange and top end power, both dyno in 4th gear. but the 272ic doesnt cost anymore then the 264ic and might as well let as much air in and out as you can, and get rid of the intake manifold(IE read 1g flow #s thread in extreme tuners forum) that will tell you that porting the stock intak man flow only a little more down low, but still restricts a lot on top,
Stock head with a stock intake. No T.B. with a ¾” radius entry. #3 intake runner. You can see not only does the stock intake kill the upper lift flow like everyone knew, but it hurts low lift flow as well.
Lift CFM
.050 33.75
.100 88.70
.150 128.18
.200 169.87
.250 202.57
.300 223.95
.350 238.73
.400 245.79
.450 252.65

4G63 level 4 head. 1mm over valves with 6” tapered runner 240 cubic inch plenum
Lift CFM
.050 55.46
.100 104.67
.150 152.47
.200 187.97
.250 236.33
.300 265.85
.350 288.47
.400 301.99
.450 313.11
somthing like the second one will help a ton or The Forrester Racing Heads 1st Gen Intake Manifolds are Here www.automotosports.com a litte spendy but proven drivability and power gains. good luck with your set up, hope my 60trim stg3 .82ar will prove to be good buy as well...

Kevin,

did you receive my email, please email me back off the board at [email protected] when you get a chance..

UndergroundR32.. great choice man, you should be really happy with that setup

 

[UndergroundR32]

Kevin, you have a PM.

 

[Nappy94]

UndergroundR32 where do you live in NY? I live out on the Island, that is a nice setup. Maybe we can go out for a cruise sometime.

 

[UndergroundR32]

I live in Orange County. 5 minutes from Middletown if you've heard of it. We have a car club type meet there every friday night if you're interested. Got a couple months before it's racing season however.

 

[Nappy94]

I've heard of it, your pretty far away though. At least 2 hour's.

 

[TwoLiterV8Eater]

wow thats the same exact turbo setup i was looking at getting. Kevin replied very quickly to my emails and the only reason i havent ordered the setup yet is because i am about to pull my head and replace the gasket and studs and i dont want to spend any more money until i find out if anything in the motor is damaged more than i think. Hopefully not because i seriously want to get this thing running good.
