JamieP Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Pretty happy with my setup but would still like some more power, thinking of maybe buying a turbo that will bolt directly inplace of my T67 so in a couple of hours and a flick of a switch to swap maps i could have more power, and swap back whenever i want, thinking along the lines of a T71GTS Dbb with the billet wheel or a Gt4294R. 700BHP would be nice. any other direct replacement turbos you can suggest? Or shall i just go cams first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 get cams first lol..as i can see at a future date, you will want more power again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 You'll never put the small one back on once you get 700bhp & the response is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Just buy a rocket JP......It will probably be cheaper for you in the long run too........ H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Your crazy! BPU is more than enough power for me. What was your old supra pushing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 You'll never put the small one back on once you get 700bhp & the response is there There is that, the T67 spools so fast its almost like a powerfull NA, i could certainly live with a 1000rpm knocked of the spool if it means 700bhp.

JamieP Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Your crazy! BPU is more than enough power for me. What was your old supra pushing? When you have ridden big sports bikes for years you are always looking for that bit more in a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the T51R? It's what I'll buy again once my GT4088R dies & the damn exchange rate comes back (prolly in about 5 years ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what I'll buy again once my GT4088R dies & the damn exchange rate comes back (prolly in about 5 years ) To much agro to fit, it has to be direct replacment for me to consider it, exchange rate is whats stopping me at the min tbh.

JamieP Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Would the stock engine take 700?? I personally think it would, mine is in great condition and under 40,000 miles on it, im planning on building/buying a spare lump when the exchange rate recovers anyhow, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 u ever drove a t51r jamie?? insane i tell you.. speed junkies love the t51R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 More power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Jamie, do you know how much more power is there across the rev range with a 71? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Jamie, do you know how much more power is there across the rev range with a 71? Depends on what size ar but will be around 650-700 uk bhp id have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I know what you mean jamie,i`m bored allready,problem is however much power you have if used regularly you get used to it, then there`s reliability to think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 u ever drove a t51r jamie?? insane i tell you.. speed junkies love the t51R Ive been in Ash's car but he is not running it at its full potential, about 650bhp iirc? id say there is not much in it with how mine performs now.

JamieP Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 then there`s reliability to think of. This is a good point, i hated the red car in the end as it gave me so many problems, my black one has been faultless for 6000 hard miles so far and if it started playing me up id hate to lose the love again.

SteveR Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 What happened to "the best setup is ~600bhp with good spool"? Ignore that, just get a massive, reeeeally laggy turbo. I'll wave when I pass you at Llandow. What about... I almost dread saying it.... NOS, for that occasional boost of extra power? Like Simon says, whatever turbo you get you'll get used to it; NOS is an occasional boost. Or maybe even a race fuel map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Depends on what size ar but will be around 650-700 uk bhp id have thought. sorry mate I didnt explain that well I mean how much over your current turbo, for example 50bhp more at 5k and between which rpm's it'll hit the 700bhp figure etc. I only ask as soom of the dyno printouts I've seen with larger turbos seem to have a peak bhp that's quite short lived so a larger turbo maybe be down across the rest of the rev range to your current turbo but may have 100bhp more between say 6500-7000rpm so it might not be worth changing over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy am i gonna hand it to you at Llandow, watch out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
