APEX INDUCTION KIT

INDUCTION KIT HEAT SHEILD

Looks like you still need

Front mount IC
Injectors
and Z32 Maf to get the most from the uprated turbine.

And will need a retune from RSP after all is installed

and a fuel pump if it still has standard one

 

[psmurphy]

Would also consider a colder grade of spark plug as well if your looking to run 400bhp +

I assume a GT40 is bigger than a GT35 which is what I was looking at to make 650/700 bhp with losing the AFM and bigger injectors.Don't know what power you are looking for but I would think this could be laggy for normal use.Cheers.

i do have the fuel pump 255lph walbro,fmic. i would need the z32 and bigger intercooler pips my intercooler pipes are 76mm, i think it would make some difference coz of the throttle body i am using 100mm. i am looking to get 450bhp

GT30 is what you want if you're aiming for 450hp...
now if you were aiming for 700hp with your 2.5 liter, GT40 would be the way to go..

But then your talking a full rebuild...


I think you will be better of getting a TD05 25g kit... Known to take stock internals to 500bhp

 

[SPEEDR33PER]

why not get your standard turbo rebuilt as that will give damn close to 450 with minimum hassle

 

[GETGREDDY]

certaily be easiest pain free solution to get your standard tubby reworked (RSP)! Thats the route i was going to go until i decided i really like the beefy top mount look lol

 

[Dragonballzohai]

how much do u think the gt40 with manifold wastgate and oil/water lines should cost ££££££

 

[Dragonballzohai]

was thinking to do engine rebuild then fit this turbo and have nos as the anti lagggg solution?

Wow, hope you plan on buying rods and pistons, along with honing and getting a new head gasket.

Like others have said, a GT40 is huge for what you are looking for and wont spool until way late. I suggest taking advice, avoiding the hassle and just upgrading your normal blower at RSP or getting a GT30. If you are hell bent on the GT40 then just let everyone know and then get it without the advice from us instead of asking.

gt40 is far far too big

get a gt 3076 which you can get with the nissan 6 bolt elbow housing

you will need a far better clutch and a better fuel pump as the walbro wont cut it

bigger injectors too and a thicker headgasket

you need to think this through and dont buy something just bacause its a better turbo than most people have on as it will make the car undrivable in bad weather

 

[Dragonballzohai]

when i do the rebuild i will change the hedgasket 2.0mm,cams,pullys,timming belt hks,injectors,maby the piston's coz those cost ££££££££££££££££££££££££.
i know the turbo is very laggy so i'll be running nos into the intercooler as it will be cooling the chambers as well and see what happens................................lol

 

[iansr33]

you really aint listened one bit have you

you want 450bhp but its been said already gt40 IS FAR TOO BIG!

gt3076 is what you need not a gt40 with manifold and external wastegate

your waisting money, may aswell burn ithhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[old git]

Hi,stiil don't get it,if you are looking for 450 power why pick totaly the wrong turbo.Hope you have deep pockets as once you start down the big power route you will need ecu,big fuel system etc.Unless you want to race your car way make things complicated and expensive.If you have already bought the GT40 sell it and go re-built turbo route it will make life much easier.Cheers.

 

[Endorx]

LOL....

Just let the lad get the turbo he really wants...

Just hope he knows what hes taking on.. Doesn't look like it though...:disappointed:



A standard reworked Turbo will spool almost the same time as your standard turbo with cams. With the GT40 it will have alot of lag regardless of nos/cams etc etc... Think it through properly before you waste money you dont need to spend

 

[AKW]

He has no idea nor wants advice, sounds like he just wants to brag. Let the thread die.
