afternoon all.its raining and ive finished work early so im looking at various turbochargers(as you do) as an updrade for my bug sti.what unit do people use or recommend for between 400-450bhp?what unit gives the best gains for a reasnable price tag?prices vary so much(i understand by cheap by twice)but one of the turbo units advertised on ebay gets good reviews on a nissan forum and does not cost a fortune.would anybody put a tdo5 20g on a jdmbug sti?notjing is definate here,im just toying with the idea and would like some genuine input

thanks for your time

Turbo Technics T36 is a great value for money unit @ £900 + vat inc the fitting kit.
420-450bhp capable and a direct bolt on.
They're only available through us so feel free to call.

ryan51

thank you for the quick reply.are these kits advertised on your web page just so i can have a quick look?what supporting modifications would you recommend to compliment this kit? cheers,ryan.

sc42, job done

Deanamoore

Yes tidgy is right,I put a sc42 on my bug Sti,it was a awesome turbo.spoil an power was bang on.

ryan51

heard and read good things about them.at the higher end of the price range tho.is it really worth that much more then the turbo mentioned martynj?cheers,ryan.

Deanamoore

Well I just read about them an asked about what people thought. An I like the way Scoobyclinic go about there buisness.with other bits on my car it was 427 bhp with 417 ft.that was on a top mount aswell so it spoiled very quick.it has just been bought by a lad on here ask him what he thinks.his name is dan scooblet is his user name I think,

ryan51

thanks for your input mate,what other mods did you have?how much in total did it cost you to achieve that power?(if you dont mind me asking)and how much did you sell it for?cheers,ryan.

Deanamoore

Alright mate,it was a 2.1 stroker with sc 42 with perrin bits on it,Simtek ecu the stroker an the turbo upgradeds with other bits were around 10 grand roughly I wud say.but I spent a lot more on the car an it still was nt finished.i just got a itch for a type r.i didn't get no where near the money I spent on the upgrades let alone the value of the car.but that's modding for you.you do it because you love it

If it's budget, then look out for a second hand gt30

ryan51

thanks for the reply.bet it was a beast.quite pricey then?i spent a fortune on my last car,reckon my missus would killme if i spent 10k on this car again.i got nowhere near what i spent either.now im a bit older i have a house to pay for so am looking for cheaper alternatives for more power.thanks for your input mate,greatly appreciated,cheers,ryan.

ryan51

thanks for the heads up,what kind of price do second hand ones go for?cheers,ryan.

I agree with Deanomoore but then I'm biased as i bought his bug lol

ryan51

ryan51

Surely a GT30 is a little big for the ops needs.
Plus it'll need a dedicated up and down pipe if I'm not mistaken.

Not a stock location one (or been built for a scooby)
There are a few afaik, 71,76, 86 the bigger 500+ turbo.

I have got a 71r which is good for upto 450, but I have a 8cm housing on mine (ideally wanted a 7cm housing for better spool, but will see how it goes)

MartynJ

Sorry for the delay, not had a computer to hand to answer you properly.
I'd recommend the usual supporting mods reqd for that kind of power level.
GT Spec headers, 3 inch decat system, Perrin or similar intake hose, Perrin or similar air filter, 750cc ASNU injectors, RCM 340lph pump, front mount intercooler, a speed density mapped ecu whether that be OE or aftermarket and a 3 bar map sensor.

The example below is from a built 2 litre Classic running the above kind of specification.
