Dont know i never asked once i found out it was not tuned :( I am still looking at another one but they want faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too much for it but its very nice and a nice spec as well Mike

I think take the stickers off and it would look alot better and under the bonnet not alot only mildly tuned so nope!!

Love it or hate it its different!? Just been offered it but i think i will pass on this one ;) Not sure about the lambo exhaust?? dont know if it looks cool or chav?? Mike

Why not speak to jonny @ GPS as i think there open again and meet up there?? can always find a pub down the road and go for a pint and some lunch??

And your gonna do the whole car in it?? sorry mate but :hurl: no no no

About bloody time jon :) Have i still got that plenum in my dads garage?? if so i'm off for the next week or so, so give me a bell Mike

I also think there was some confusion on his dyno result from thor with what he thought was at the wheels or at the fly

Yep fri/sat/sun for me + poss 4 others Mike

Hi Iain I said yours will be the first big BHP zed in the country not the first to blow up, i know its not for the faint hearted to tune cars!! we shall see very soon which engine was built better as it will be running funny enough a set of greddy 18g's in a few weeks as the guy is having the engines swapped over to his SWB which already is running 18g's etc etc...gutted as i have tried to buy it back off him :cry: and he's already spun it and knackered one of the rear alloys. Mike

must be my age :rofl: getting grumpy in my old age

yeh but where are they and are they proven? and i mean on a decent dyno like thors and are they still running? i know andy elthin...whatever was meant to be close to 600 bhp but it didnt last and kept blowing up lol Mike

I dont think we are all focused on power, its just no one in this country has actually tried to go big power and succeeded, looks like macca will be the first, followed by CJ then who knows jaffa must have something up his sleave as he's got my border rail etc. What did happen to simon 51x?? his car had a lot of work done to it and was promising 2 bar of boost?? Kirbz

Yeh they look a very good turbo and for what $750 each from the states a bargain. Shame your testing on a high comp engine as you wont be able to run mch boost but will still be interested to see how they perform :) Mike

The GT25's are completely different russ they are the new dual bearing turbo and are good for about 240 bhp each so i would have though 400 bhp could be achieved fairly easily. Problem is there so new no one is running them so it will always be a risk fitting them, but from the maps they look a very good bet and a great price!! just a simple case of the fitting then lol Mike

the GT25's will be good for 400 at the wheels and the spool up will be less than stock!! http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GRT-TBO-001&Category_Code=GRT I have heard good things about this place and the prices are very good Kirbz

TBH russ i am sort off leaning over to the way your thinking!! i was chasing big ponies before thats why i built a mega engine but then i bought the supra with the T88 single on it and the car had a genuine 600++ bhp but nothing until 4500 rpm then it was just stupid lol fun but you could see how it could kill you lmao Regardless of whats above i still think the best alround turbo for the zed is the HKS 2530 for the spool up and power so there :D Mike ps love you all ;)

MAC - Was it not you who actually slated this dyno as total american BS?? and if the car got dyno'd at 550 bhp would you be happy?? and yes i was maybe a little quick to throw in the towl!! but after waiting for 8 months after i had paid the guy for my turbos i had just had enough :( hindsight is a lovely thing lol Paul - Please remember that the 16 and 18g are the same housing just a different compressor wheel and then you go onto the td06 which again has several different varients etc Mike

well not according to the maps they wont, they simply wont flow enough to reach that amount of power!! there a great, tried and tested turbo which no doubt is one of the reasons you went for them but the technology in them is fairly old now. In fact i'm suprised greddy/trust have not bought out any roller bearing turbos yet as this is the way forward for both power and spool up time. I dont doubt that you have a great setup Iain and as you know i was going to get the same one before i went for the GT-RS set up Mike :)

says who?? according to a couple of turbo power rating charts i have they all rate the 16g at around 300 each the 18g at around 325 each and the 20g at around 370 each which does work out with the amount of air they can flow 400 no chance there simply not efficient enough Mike

Ppppphhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa you will soon get bored with 450 bhp and want more ;) Very suprised you have gone with the T28 as its quite a laggy turbo?? thought maybe a GT25R would have given you more than enough power and next to none spool up time? Cant wait to see the throttle boddies though when its done :hyper: Mike

Well if you are getting the GT28R then they are not the R34 turbos the R34 turbos are T series turbos with ceramic blades hence then wont go over 1 bar. If you are getting the GT series then they are a completely different turbo and are not the same as the skyline turbo and dont have ceramic blades!! garrett have just bought out a GT28R and are a dual ball bearing turbo that can boost upto 2 bar of boost and can flow enough air for about 300-320 bhp so similar to macs 18g's. Now the puppies you do want are the new GT2871R now these babies are awsome and are rated at about 400 bhp EACH lol Kirbz

He had it for nearly a year now and huess how much its cost me so far in repair bills........£0 It gets me 30 to the gallon and it has outrun maccas car on the m6 :D I rest my case :duffer: Mike

no yours is a nazda :p

I'm so glad i dont shop in burtons :rofl:

My mistake, its been pointed out that the turbos are T28's not GT28's so maybe they wont out do macca :smash: :tongue:
