Turbo Replacement

**Draven** · 21-12-2007, 06:28 PM

hey dude,

I own a 2jz-gte vvti. with the factory twins, power from 1500-5000 was really, really impressive. if your power goal is less than ~280rwkw, I'd be keeping those factory puppies.
If your power goal is more than 280rwkw, then you're going to have to spend a LOT of money to have big power/torque at 2000rpm... these are the sacrifices we make chasing big numbers from a 3L.

It can be done (custom sequential system, for example), or trying to use the factory system with 2 GT25/10s or something similar, but you're pushing shit up a hill compared to just fitting a GT35r and accepting that you have no boost below 3000rpm. It's more than compensated for by having 4000rpms of fun up the top!

or drop a s/c v8 in it, if your budget it properly unliimited

the standard twins are garbage and when you try to remove them in the car you will be looking for a sledge hammer.do yourself a favour and wack a gt garrett on it now and let that magnificent engine breathe.there are some guys on here that will slag me off for this but they know its only a matter of time before their twins are in the bin . cheers .bigwad

Isnt that what I said?? (except I was a little more diplomatic... guess not so much impact

)... but I would be saying keep it as a twin setup, a single will be either laggy or not big enough to keep that kind of rev range.

i woke up this morning in one of them moods so on my way out to kick the dog i spotted the puter and figured i might just shitcan them bloody twins.anyways i wacked one of them gt 30/71r garretts on mine and the difference was quite dramatic.time to go and sink a few turks now and i,ll be up in the sunshine state in feb if anyone wants a few fab or welding tips. have a good xmas. cheers . bigwad

Grow some balls

Not too hot... the humidity is a bitch though

Something in the GT35R series should do the trick nicely. 0.86 rear housing should spool quite well. GT30 series may be a bit small for a 2JZ. A GT30 series with a 1.06 rear housing may be OK though? I'd be calling Garrett for recommendations personally.
