13-03-16, 11:07 GMT+10#42 Abit of an updated. Gave the old girl a service. Bolted up a set of 235 x 60 x 15 et streets and headed out to warwick dragway. First 2 x passes spun the tyres about 40 foot out. Quick peddle led to a early back off 7.00 @ 89mph. 3rd pass. Changed tyre pressure and went a lazy 1.70 60ft. Left with 4pound instead of 10 and ran 6.72 @ 107 mph. Time for boost controller and a turbo upgrade.

10-04-16, 20:32 GMT+10#45 Well updates soon to follow stepping the combo up a tad. Getting the 3540 rebuilt into a pro GTX, bigger injectors and maybe a ecu upgrade to link. And a chrome moly bolt in cage and parachute. Will be chasing a set of id1500s or so if any one have any for sale inbox me.

23-05-16, 20:12 GMT+10#51 Whats every ones thoughts on GT42 on rb30? Really thinking of making a ecu change and high mount / turbo change this year. Would obviously need bigger injectors and convertor change.

Mid frame 67mm-to 70mm turbos are nicest for a pure streeter. And in this day and age im sure you can make enough power to run low 9's with something in that range easily
I actually would think you can run high 8s' with someone as smart as Justin in your corner with a turbo that size, if that was your overall goal , and still be a fun streeter

29-05-16, 16:23 GMT+10#54 Daz is on the money, they're a lot more forgiving too. Ie - you can get away with a slightly larger plenum, or a lower stall, or no headwork, or a glide and it's still streetable. But if you go a large turbo, large plenum, large stall.. it's a hard combo to get right, and then it's likely to be pretty laggy too.

31-05-16, 18:07 GMT+10#56 My corolla runs a $500 China GT42, been pushing over 20psi for about 18 months and about 28psi for past 12 months, still good so far lol....
I have a Proboost 42R for the VL, It did do a few passes on a mates 8 sec Gemini and (obviously) is still good

01-06-16, 19:47 GMT+10#57 Pity grant at proboost only does the gtx3582 and t04z, be great if he could build the Z he does but with a GT37 turbine and not a old P trim, be a great budget turbo.
Id buy one in a second if it was around his current turbo prices
cheers
