I have just come into a 2g gsx auto and a load of parts.
What it boils down to is I will be installing an ipt converter, translab shift kit, and end clutches. Along with a forced four shift box.
The engine is well built, with zero mechanical issues, and is 8.5:1 with fp2 cams and adjustable cam gears.
This is my FIRST auto dsm.
The car will be a daily driver. (Here comes the I want my cake and to eat it too moment)
I have the choice between 2 turbo/manifold setups.
Setup 1
Fp3082hta (converted from a 3052 back in the day) with for manifold/o2 housing and associated hardware.
Setup 2
Dnp twin scroll divided t4 manifold
Hx35 /12cm housing. Divided t4/t3 adapter, and hardware,
Tial MVR as a wastegate for either setup.
In my experience with the car the engine came out of with the 3082hta, it wasn't a great spooler...
I want these 3 things
1. Reliability (cracked manifolds suck) and it's a driver
2. Brake boost to launch without nitrous, and I am not spending sinister or precision money on a converter.
3. Not switching to a 16g
4. Pump gas premium limited
Which setup is the better fit for my self imposed limitations?
I don't care about fab work, it's nothing new to me. And look forward to piping and such. Just hard part info.
