June 12, 201214 yr comment_609483 What do you mean am I sure on the turbo? Sorry mate meant to right "sure it's not gt2876 turbo". Report
June 12, 201214 yr Author comment_609484 Pretty close specs to a gt2876 but no, its a custom built item by gcg, the billet wheel is one of only two in Australia, the other being in Neal Bates trd rally car.. and yea the head is a complete standard item. Eventually will be getting the head ported, 288 cams, over size valves, darton sleeves and retuning to run on e85, I'm looking to crack 300rwkw Report
June 13, 201214 yr comment_609554 Ah a custom jobby!! I don't think E85 and sleeves are a necessity to make 300rwkw with that turbo. I've just done a 300rwkw 16v 4a. It runs the 2876 and 98 pump fuel(just because it's easier to get). It runs a STD bigport head with 300+ deg cams. Your in for a wild ride with 300rwkw in a sev, I can tell you that much. Report
June 13, 201214 yr Author comment_609677 the sleeves are mostly to make it more reliable, and e85 will make it a bit safer to run higher boost, also from what ive been told 288 is the max i want to go with a turbo motor, anything over that and the power band is not as usefull.. what psi does it run? i bet it is a wild ride haha, do you have a build thread on it? i'd love to see this thing :cool: Report
June 13, 201214 yr comment_609694 Yeahhhhhhh, I think I'll stick to my blacktop until I can drive hahaha. This will be awesome though Report
June 13, 201214 yr Author comment_609761 Painted the engine bay on this thing yesterday, I would get a pic up but unless the sun is out it just looks like I have dirt in my paint lol, its white with a purple jet boat flake through it :P Report

I do like E85 myself, but we wanted to see how far we could push it safely on 98 first. I didn't choose the cams, a 20v turbo I know of makes 245rwkw on 18psi with 272 cams. It's fairly fun I spose.haha. After it made the 300 we dialed back boost from 32 to 26 so it would help with traction, make 270 on 26 which is still totally insane for a car that weighs 930kgs with him in it. His job makes it hard for him to be on the forums, so I'll ask him if he minds me doing a thread for it. Report
June 14, 201214 yr Author comment_609778 You make a pretty valid point, I think ill just keep it as it is for a fair while, till I at least get a feel for the car lol I nearly bought a set of cams the other day for it, 304 intake and 288 exhaust with 9.2 lift, but got talked out of it, yea that would be awesome if you could, is it just a street car or track/drag?

Don't take what I'm saying as "what you should do" though. It's just my opinion, and it's YOUR car. I'm just putting my small experience with these things forward. I'd talk to a cam grinder before choosing cams(Clive cams, Wade, tige or crow cams) before you make any decisions. Let them know what you have and want(truthfully) and they'll let you know what you'll be able to get away with. The one I've done was originally built for drifting. But he wants a bit more use out of the car, so it now gets used more for circuit and a bit of drag racing thrown in for fun. With the .62 rear housing on the 2876 it's still rather responsive. Are you planning on heading to any of the winton drift days? We should be attending the August practice day. Report
June 14, 201214 yr Author comment_609863 Na you're right mate, I really need to sit down with the guy I'm buying the motor off and talk about what plans he had for the motor, and I will he going back to the guys who built it in the first place, it ran 3 years of drift Australia comp and was stripped down for a rebuild and still looked like New inside, so they must be doing something right! I would love to have a crack at Winton, I'll probably end up going to eastern creek and Wakefield park at first but it will be a good feeling when I get my licence back and can take it anywhere I want.. I'm aiming on having this thing finished (not painted) by the start of august so I might have to get in touch with you when I take it to the track, do I need any sort of cage at Winton for the big track?
