Turbo GT!!!!!!!!

[Hints_The_Name]

Serouisly I am not super car guy an want to no exactly why people havent tackled this on the GT I mean people are getting it done to there GS right and left. Also I want to know exactly what is needed to do a kit(dont leave off anything lol) and a place on where to get all this stuff. I might be interested in doing a custom turbo for a GT. I would have to look after my budget after Jenny gets here job (one is lined up but has to do some schooling starting next week for 16 weeks) and I buy the G37. If in my budget to afford a GT I will be doing a build but dont know much about turbos such as what all is needed

moar room in the engine bay!! moar!!

[Hints_The_Name]

So its not even possible? Well rain on my parade

[dentedz71guy]

meh, I think it's possible but that's one of the biggest challenges people have faced with the GT...with the right amount of bending and relocating it probably can be done but that remains to be disovered.

What luxurys can be taken out

[Asian Cracker]

Where

[EclipseFL07]

ONE ROLLing around the naples area, seen his car never actually talked to the guy

[spyder8213]

Here ya go. RRE did one a few years ago.

Club 4G Eclipse

[Hints_The_Name]

that car is for sale now lol Cars For Sale: Car Details - AutoTrader.com

[spyder8213]

Not a bad price for all the work done to it!

[Live4Redline]

What makes it hard is the HOT SIDE PIPES.

Manifolds and all your hot side pipes have to be custom bent, welded, and crafted. It takes alot of time and money to get this kinda of work done and theres no guarantee that its every gona be quality work.

If someone just made the Hot Side pipes for our cars this would be a hell of alot easyer to do. And cheaper.

I'm still in the planing stage of my turbo setup but i'm still not even 100% i'm gona do it. I'm gona be boosted one way or anouther just not sure if its gona be turbo or blower yet
.

[Hints_The_Name]

I am honestly trying to buy that car right now but cant get a hold of the guy

[spyder8213]

Hints, that would rock if you got that car!! Good luck with it.

Live4- I know what you mean. There's turbo kits for the GS, but I don't know if I want the hassle of the ECU people are having. I'm going FI for sure, but not sure which road.

I am trying

you may want to get in touch with Mike at RRE and get his opinion on this car since he helped build it (i think).

Who did you go with ripp? What stage? Hp?

[hacman]

Im pretty sure he went with just a stage 1, as far as the last time we talked anyway.

I hope he has some numbers for his, and I will soon have completed dyno tunes numbers for my stage2(the tune is on august 8th and I cannot wait!! )

peace

I dont think I am going to get it bc it has the door decals but the whole front of the car is that really light blue with custom mitsu 3 diamond paint so I dont no if that ugly blue is permanet on the front

[spyder8213]

The turbo RRE did left early and was not tuned. It was also only running like 4psi. Not sure if that ever got fixed.

[spyder8213]

For the work already done to it, just get it repainted. You'll save money of the FI route and I know shops that will do an entire car (door jams and all) for 3 G's. Some one is gonna score on this car.

[Hints_The_Name]

I just cant get the guy to anwser me Icalled him twice yesturday and left a voicemai

I would have to look after my budget after Jenny gets here job (one is lined up but has to do some schooling starting next week for 16 weeks) and I buy the G37. If in my budget to afford a GT I will be doing a build but dont know much about turbos such as what all is needed

Custom Turbo Manifold
550 cc injectors
AEM F/IC
Custom Down pipe
Custom 3'' cat back
GT28R turbo
Custom Fuel Rail
Fuel Pump Regulator
AEM F/IC harness
Custom Intercooler
Tial 38mm Waste gate

All of this will add up to about 3k and about another 3-5k in custom work/install

It will be alot cheap just to buy
AEM F/IC with harness (BrainJ)
Header (Ripp)
NItrous (NX Express)
Bottle Heater (NX Express)
Cat-back 2.5 (Custom is cheaper)
Throttle body and intake manifold Spacer
throttle body (proflow)

The AEM F/IC is a great tool to tune for Nitrous if I didnt sell my GT I was going to get RRE header and use the F/IC to tune the car for a 50-75 wet shot. You will be putting down about 330whp on a 50 shot and 355 on a 75 shot maybe more these are just estimates

A nitrous system with bottle heater installed corectly will cost about 1k the F/IC with harness will cost about 700
Custom cat0back about 400
Header anywhere from 600-1000 depending if you get ripp mor rre
throthle body 250
throttle body space and intake manifold space (Not sure)

FOr all of this its about 2.5k alot cheaper then a turbo

if your manual you might want to get a stage 3 cluthc with steel flywheel

[Hints_The_Name]

I spoke to the guy and he said its custom paint no decals so it would have to be re-sprayed its only pushing out 323 whp and 301 tq which doesnt sound very good and he hasnt drove it more than 3 times since turbo was done bc he got a M3 when Mike at RRE had it I dont know its numbers werent what I wanted I was thinking it would be more responsive

[Asian Cracker]

There is on in Sa. I was told not to tell who it was though.....gotta keep it on the hush hush.

Stage 3 Cluth and flywheel
Brat
FIC
Stage 2 SDS
RC Injectors
Custom Exhaust 3.5 in

I would go SDS with the FIC either get the SDS stage 2 or get the nitrous

Or go SDS
with throttle body
Throttle body spacer
Intake manifold spacer
Ripp long tubes
3'' exhaust
Black box/brat

The sds already come with the RC engecters and meth/water kit

They made 430 with out the TB, TB spacer or INtake Manifold spacer So if you get someone or Ripp to tune the car with these mods then you will be at about 440-460 whp depending on the dyno

Also Contact Ripp and see if with the black box if the can add and subtract timing if so...have them tune the car for 100 octane ..Im pretty sure they can because water/meth with 93 octane is like 100 octane in the car...is if you put some street blaze 101 from VP race fuels in the car it would add about 20whp to the car..but might want to get some rod bolts before that lol

[Hints_The_Name]

Why not both nitrous and SDS

[sullysdetailing]

you would be makign 430 on the stge 2 with headers ...with the tb, tb spacer, ad intake mani spacer you will be at about 440-450whp ..if you get a race map with 100 octane in the car you be at 465-470 100 octane will add 20% more power now you dont need nitrous if your make this power...the nitrous will just blow the motor

[Hints_The_Name]

True but if I do go the eclipse route (well if I have the money) I want to make 500whp is my goal atleast

[sullysdetailing]

you dont have an eclipse??????

Then you wil need cstom piston custom rods...and 100 octane with sds stage 2
stage 4 clutch lighten flywheel with tb tb spacer and intake mani spcer you should be close

that is a ridiculous amount of power to the front wheels....

well it would be fun lol

drag radial athe MKV uspmotorsports has made 400 whp ran 12.2 on drag radial and when 11's on slicks

[Jonrod]

if the torque steer doesnt kill you. Hell, if your looking into all that power and have the funds, might as well go AWD. im sure it can be done if your willing to spend...
