You could use bigger injectors DSMlink can do wonders with big injectors. Also why are you choosing garret as opposed to mitsu housing? just a question.

 

[GSTdude06]

Ya I was thinking bigger so I have room to move around, and idk I like garrett..... maybe a gt35r?

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

cams. nothing wrong with your turbo setup. people have different taste.

 

[GSTdude06]

Oopp I forgot to add that...

I Have 264/272 HKS cams


Sorry

 

[Spooling99]

A GT35R would be a nice turbo at high psi. I believe you should go with at least 880s with link. You might want to look into getting LSD to make sure all that power will get to the ground evenly.

 

[GSTdude06]

What order should I go?


LSD (my tranny will be out soon so I can replace my 2nd gear with a Shep gear)
1000cc's
GT35R
O2 Housing
Water/Meth Injection?

 

[Spooling99]

Just how you have it listed. If you could buy the Turbo, O2 housing, and Injectors all at the same time that would be nice.

 

[GSTdude06]

Well I can try all at once, just gonna be hard since I like to buy something the minute I have the money for it.

Do I ABSOUTLY need the LSD? Cause that along is over a 1000 and then if I add the turbo housing and injectors im almost at 2000$

 

[zachakagoat]

Look into atleast an LSD insert. You can get them at Slowboy racing for about 190$ and they are doing wonders for 60ft times.

 

[keymaster]

If you want to have ANY traction whatsoever you need an LSD. If you're serious about wanting to make that kind of power, you need to be able to get the power to the ground. If you just want to smoke your tires through four gears, be my guest, but if you've spent all this money on upgrades, it only makes sense to buy the LSD.

 

[98EclipseGST06]

Yea thats true get some LSD's and some cam gears and new spark plugs and spark plug wires. What about an intake manifold or start looking into getting your stuff ported. Valve Springs. Every little thing will help you with your overall horse power as long as everything runs together. Which im sure you know that but just saying. Good Luck

I say you should go with a GT3071 or GT30R (GT3076). It will be more than enough for your goal, but not as laggy as a GT35.

 

[Spooling99]

The LSD inserts aren't bad, but remember you get what you pay for. They dont prevent wheel hop as much and cant still break many things. If you have the money I say going for a good LSD such as Quaife, or Kaaz. I also agree with Derek about the GT30R, A guy runs here runs a GT35R at 17psi on a FWD 1st gen and he doesn't make traction until around 50mph.

[RedTurboEclipse]

Yea with your setup, definitely get LSD and some good tires, you will be smokin em!

 

[GSTdude06]

Ok ill get a LSD in time....


I dont need cam gears cause the gain isnt worth the money, I have COP setup so no need for spark plug wires and I have a Sheet Metal Intake Manifold already..... 98EclipseGST06


ill look into the GT3071 or GT30R (GT3076)


Thanks

 

[Spooling99]

No problem let us know what happens.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Since you're a FWD, lag isn't a bad thing. Spooling too soon will only result in your tires turning to mush.

Also, as for cams, go straight 272, especially with a large turbo.

You don't need COP at only 400 - 450hp...From your post, it seems you already have this though?

Get a bigger waste gate, especially with a 35R. Think Tial 44mm

What internals are you using in the 6 bolt? Stock? Upgrade those too if you want the engine to last a while.

 

[2gGSX]

I saw that you had a tubular manifold on your list, but is that flanged for a garrett t3 or t4? Otherwise you'll have to add a new manifold to your list unfortunately.

With the wastegate you'll have to make a call on this. Too small and you'll have too problems, and too large will hinder you from holding higher boost (pressure = force x area). You'd have to find a compromise to it all.

 

[UMR98GSX]

On the topic of wastegate size... I run a GT3255 (GT32, 60-1) and have no problem with my 40mm TiAL

 

[nightspeed87]

if your going to spend all the money on lsd couldnt he just get a full sheperds race tranny included with lsd for around that price, and besides that i say he should max out his bottom end maybe stroker or anything else while its out so he'd never have to go in there again... ( Unless not trying to stroke it )
