As far as the car goes,it is going to be a GS-R.I have been reading about turbos alot lately and have been thinking, my goals are to maybe hit the 12s in the 1/4 (trying to get around 300hp maybe)with a combination of AutoXing on occasions,this is for daily driving if you haven't guessed yet. I've been lookin at the Greddy, Revhard,Turbonetics Kits. And when looking at the turbonetics kits i see some kits have 3" downpipes( are bigger downpipes better?) and that they have ball bearings in their turbos which make it easier on the engine since it can spool up quicker and more efficiently without as much effort, as in increasin psi for example, the thing i don't kno about the ball bearings is i don't kno if they require oil, i've heard they do and that they dont but i have no clue.and if that is so does it mean i dont need any oil lines? As for the Greddy and Revhard Turbos I've heard that they're excellent but i dont which turbo would i wanna lean towards most, because if I wanted to set the psi to bigger numbers i wouldnt want too much stress on my engine, that's why i'm considering Turbonetics. Feel free to give me any opinions on anything. Thanks

if you're looking to make those kind of numbers dont look at the greddy kit. are you willing to rebuild the internals of your engine? to make that kind of power reliably you should do at least forged rods and pistons. ball bearing turbo's are water cooled and oil lubricated so you still need to run feed and drain lines.

another kit you should look at is peakboost

 

yea, certainly. i just want my engine to run as efficiently as possible and so im going for the internals, even if im not plannin to get really high numbers, im going to just to play it safe, and as far as the internals go do you have any suggestions for any parts ?i had ctr cams and mind, and slappin on a quaife for more traction

 

you're stock gsr cams are going to be fine for the power levels. for rods and pistons i would go with either cp or wiseco pistons and eagle rods. no need to get super expensive stuff when you wont be pushing them to their limits. also, dont forget about your fuel system.

 

oh cool, this is off subject but for a 7lb fidanza flywheel, would u think that is too light for autoXing in means of gaining, regaining traction, and if so how many lbs would u think would compliment it

 

personally i wouldnt go that light with a turbo setup. maybe a 10-12lb flywheel.

 

oh, ok., thanks for the replies
