Limits of a 1GGTE

[JustCallMeOrlando]

This is true. My turbos have copped a beating, particularly since i've had them for some reason, but I had the inlet pipe off the other day and they are toight as.

sweet thanks...

im looking at a soarer this thursday. and hoping that buying it and parting out as many parts as i can will almost make the engine worth buying

is there a demand for soarer parts??? ahahah

i'm currently building a bullet proof 1g which i hope should make 350+. i haven't taken any short cuts with it so it should be quite nice once it's done

guys as were on the topic of power im going to be changing to a single turbo setup soon on the 2nd gen gz20 turbo it is a t3 skyline turbo do u think it will give me more power than the twins or should i just stick with the twins and wind boost up to 15psi or so as the skyline turbos are ceramic and cant go past the 12 or so psi mark but then being a bit bigger might make a difference , what are your thoughts
i will be using an safc shortly as well


car has a fmic and cat back zorst with std boost atm

[chris davey]

is that an rb20 turbo or rb25?

If it is rb25, wouldn't the amount of safe boost be higher on a 1g as it is only pumping a 2l engine rather than a 2.5L. What about the vg30 turbo?

[purple5ive]

yeah thats the problem dunno if its off a rb20 or rb25 engine but either way they can be changed later without hassels i suppose but do u guys see any benefit in doing this or is it a waste of time and money ?????????

prob need new oil and water lines made up
everything else i ave ready to go in lolllllll

[JustCallMeOrlando]

I personally don't see the benefit from a turbo change like that. It's unlikely to make much of an improvement, if any, and probably comes at the expense of lag if it does. Don't forget, the 1G CT12's are small, but there is two of them.

emp: That is pretty amazing what your last setup made. When it made the 280rwkw was that tuned or untuned? Don't suppose you want to show us your ignition map?

280 was on the base map the poor thing has never had a tune, the ignition map is the stock microtech one, it runs 12 deg advance on 24psi
next time i got it hooked up ill send it to you

[chris davey]

thanks mate, that would be great

Whoa! Crazy. Keep us informed on your progress. Was it hard to find the components? Pistons, rods, etc.

[Ashe]

whats the most boost anyone has run on stock internals (ignoring turbo/ecu/fuel ect.)?

[emp?]

ive run 25psi with a t70 turbo
but thats all the microtech will read to till i get anew map sensor in it
