hi every 1 my rx2 is now sold and im looking at this vl calais has had full rebuild but only has t3 on it now the guy had a t4 and was making 290kw atw iv got about 6g to spend on the turbo setup what i want to do is put a big turbo on it again and make about 300-320rwkw ill be using a custom manifold 45mm gate and what turbo????? i was looking at some thing like a gt3540 , gt40, t66bal bearing turbo even if i dnt buy this car il be doing the same mods to the calais that i buy so any info wil b useful no matter which car i buy what turbo should i go for the car will b occasionaly driven on weekends but also run on 1/4 mile i am hoping for high 10s thanks guys

man im not too sure on him getin 290rwkws from a t4!!! but if u have 6g to spend on the turbo set up alone.. why not jus look for a calais that has the whole set up? cos im guessin this calais is over 10g so for like 16g u could find wat ur after... but asuming u get this calais, u can get 300rwkw from any of the turbos u mentioned... its jus getin the right one to match ur setup to reach this kind of power, that ull have to talk to the mechanic that check wat u ACTUALLY have in ur car... by the way... u know 6g will get u a rb26 head an turbos??? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cant go past a gt35 or any of that series

duz360 what kind of power u making at d wheels and how laggy is it any times???????

sorry dude im a bench racer atm

i was thinking more towards the gt 40 or t66bb but will these turbos b streetable or wat are peoples thoughts

GT35/40 BB, the best of the best.

If your making 290rwkw with a TO4 (Which they are very very capable of) then surely a bit more boost or some valve/ headwork would reach the required 300-320rwkw, and save you a packet in the meantime. Otherwise I'd go the GT35 with 1.06 housing ( room for later on ) and save the rest for a rainy day if something breaks. LOL. You could go a T88 for that money, dont know how streetable they are though, ask Regan (SOWHAT) as his mate had one on an RB30. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
