JamieP Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 GT42R or T71GTQ/S The GT4088 is indeed smaller than the T67 Thanks Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 GT42R or T71GTQ/S The GT4088 is indeed smaller than the T67 I think the GT42 will require manifold modifications as it sits too far forward and too high iirc so the 71GTQ would be the best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Jamie, can you do us a techie favour and weigh (to the nearest gram) your pistons and rods, and the stock ones that are removed, and post the results up? Just to see what the differences really are, cheers -Ian Didn't Mig just sell a set of OEM rods and pistons to someone on here ? (sale post below) maybe they could also weigh them ? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=83900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeT Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Looks like ill be getting some prices on a 71GTQ.... any traders see this pm me please. Miami-gt have some great prices on these and TerryS will be able to supply too. This is the same as i'm running at the moment. According to that chart you posted up the GT40 is a 64.7mm turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Looks like ill be getting some prices on a 71GTQ.... any traders see this pm me please. I would give MVP a call or e-mail, otherwise I would go direct to BL. MVP has the best track record so far on sticking to thier delivery promises. At least with me that is... If you want to stay at home then your options are MKIVstore or Paul E has some special prices on these I believe. Terry S might also be able to assist.

Rich Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 isnt the t71 almost the same size turbo as the T88 just a little less laggy.maybe a 74 dbb maybe a good option if you are after a fair bit more power with very similar spool characteristics to your T88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Im not after any more power and i do like the T88 but a little better spool would be nice... i think the 71gtq ticks all the boxes:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeT Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 What the diffence between the two? DBB? No it is just a different wheel design if i remember correctly. I'm quite sure my one is the GTS, i'll have to find out from the bloke i bought it from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
