[color=#FF0000ost_uid0]Heya guys. Whos not doing a GTX/GTR swap? Garrett make a 250-300hp snail for the 323..... Product ID: GA-CUS-320-LAS. Its bout $1600. Either of u using this? If so, how much is install, and wat else u hooking it up with ie ECU type, i/c type, BOV etc. Total cost as opposed to engine swap? It keeps sitting in the back of my mind whether to sell in a year when Im working full time or whether to turbo and keep. Just dont want to overcapitalise in this car.
Cheers guys.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Mine cost me $6k in the end... I did all the work myself in garage with friends
6k was for everything Motor i/c and piping Blitz BOV Nearly every gasket changed Exhaust Timing belt All new fluids Paints Engineering Rego I will have pics and a movie up soon.. Its running well but having problems with the water flow... Fixing that tonight... I think the water pump has rusted up from sitting around for so long. I might have to replace that... Its either that or the waste gate opening and making the rushing noise.. its hard to work out[/colorost_uid0] Edited By Lantis on 1039515315

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Your talking about the XTR turbo thats the direct bolt on
correct. *Looks interesting. *On the other hand remember that Dan has Erics old setup so is running a T04 ball bearing which is probably even bigger than the XTR. I haven't upgraded because of reliability issues but do think of them every single day. Regards Mal[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Even better. T03 on the exhaust side for quick spool up
and T04 on intake to pump out good air.[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000080ost_uid0]i think it would be a bit too big for the 1.5 for 1.5, i'd suggest a ball bearing t25 or even ball bearing t28 and a good setup.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Keeping the standard manifold saves about $500-700.
Turbo selection is such a grey area as spend here, save there and then trying to figure which is best. Compairing that turbo to a VF-8 Hybrid in output not sure of and the VF-8 is only about $900 and will also bolt to the standard manifold. Another option is a RB20/RB25 turbo for $400 ball bearing and then make a manifold for the price above. Use it till its not enough, sell it for almost what you paid and then add whatever turbo that has a T3 flange. Look at the output that Turbo has with his T3/T4. Am also keen to know Rupe's output when they do the fine tune on his ECU on the Dyno. Regards Mal[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Do you mind me asking what is the problem. Is it a
bent or broken wheel, an oil leak or a bearing problem. Lot of things that may be damage that fixing them would not exactly be regarded as a rebuild. Regards Mal[/colorost_uid1]
