JamieP Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Stock engine is very strong and will handle decent amount of power, go for a GT4088 for the best street setup imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a bit of a sweeping statement mate, there are other turbo's that are very streetable T67dbb is the most popular 'street' turbo stateside, for example. Danno, the turbo choice mostly it depends on your drivng style and the roads you mostly drive on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 As i said imo;) gt4088 is great bit of kit, just look at privae piles times, for a manual not many small/ mid size turbo cars have come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's a bad choice, it looks like a great turbo for a street car (as you and several others have proven). I;m just saying there are other choices out there Danno, a couple of threads here might help: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=38533 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=70873 and perhaps one more directly related to your question: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=71083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I made 550 BHP without the NOS at 1.5 bar on stock engine with a HKS T04R single, I dont think you should worry too much about a full engine build if this figure is what you are looking for I had a drive in Sams 750 BHP car yesterday running 1.8 bar and that has a stock engine also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Righty guys, cheers for all the info, i need to take the head off to do the stem seals so i thought i might aswell drop the whole lot, get rid of the auto box at the same time, and do a complete build. But as you say stock is strong, so i might just do the headwork. see how the cash flow goes these next couple of months! Again cheers for the info. was looking at HKS T04Z and the GT4088R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
