So which Turbos??

 

The question has been asked many times before, but I see there are a few people with recent rebuilds with a variety of different turbo applications, so any of your opinions are more than welcome.

 

So what do I want? A turbo with excellent spool response and a top end figure of 500 BHP

 

I’ve done lots of research, especially in the US and think I’m swaying towards the JWT 530 sports. Firstly because of the characteristics of these units and secondly, I’m buying a few parts off JWT so there giving me some good discount (anyone have these fitted?)

 

I’m going to start the rebuild as soon as my car is shipped out to me in Canada. I was thinking about fitting an RB26 but decided it was just too much work, so I’ve pushed on and started ordering parts for theVG30 as follows. Some I already have.

 

• JWT Dual air filter

• Greddy center mount intercooler

• Greddy hard pipes

• Apexi blow off’s

• Stillen polished and honed plenum

• Nismo 555 injectors

• HKS Irridium plugs

• JWT R4 cam set

• JWT Valve springs

• JWT Pistons (plated)

• JWT Rods

• JWT head gaskets

• Block bored to 3.1

• Cryotreated block and crank

• Inconel manifold

• Turbo???

• JWT downpipes

• Stillen race pipe (de-cat)

• Mongoose cat back

• Stillen flywheel

• Ultra A pulley

• JWT chip

• Greddy oil cooler

• Koyo Rad

• Greddy oil catch tank

 

I’ve managed to get some really good prices ringing around the US and managed to get all that including the 530 sports for $10K US. That’s £5.5K sterling.

 

Sound like a lot of cash I know, but if I sold my Z and added £5k to it, what could I buy that would be that fast????

Hope it will be. Last time I priced it up I was alot more than that, I was in the UK though.

 

Anyone got any latest views or experiences with different turbos?

I put the Garret T28 roller bearing Typhoons on mine but not done enough milage to know if there good or crap. I would have liked the JWT 530's you lucky begger.

Is nobody on here running JWT 530 sports?
