ha ha your having a laugh aint you??

 

Nope lol Thinking of removing all of it because it is put on quite thick, I reckon it would weigh quite i abit. I removed the sound deadening and that weighed i few kg, But ofcourse i will not drive around with no protection under the car i was thinking of just painting it with some Hammerite and then a few thin layers of waxoyl

Unorthodox pulley set

Ferrea valve train kit

Bronze guides

Shimless buckets

Hi guys i am really stuck on what turbo to go for!! I have been looking at the GT42R-7275 that jamie put up on here i no its abit over kill for the power i want but i am a clown and will end up wanting more power in the furture :) I think its worth getting this now to save me money in the long run, instead of buying a smaller setup now runing it for a year say then spending loads to change for a bigger turbo what you think? Also will this turbo fit on a HKS GT Manifold? thanks

If you're going to loose all that weight I would look seriouly at going too big of a turbo. My 67 Billet is absoluetly mental and I'm running 1335kg at the mo, when it goes down to sub 1300kg it's going to be even worse. I'm running 720bhp, and with a couple more small tweaks (for example a small boost increase - I run a conservative 1.5 BAR compared to most of the big hitters on here) I'm sure a 750bhp is do-able. That would put my power to weight on par with a 900bhp UK Spec.

 

I personally would go for the smaller turbo, then yes sell it and swap for a larger one later for a small loss
