Awesome Tony! Looks very promising! And those are good goals and numbers especially on relatively low boost!

What size oil cooler is this car running?

We currently have the Setrab 25 row on the car.

I'm curious why you decided to use a GT28RS vs GT2871/GT2876? It has been out for so long now and there are better (although slightly more expensive) alternatives available.

Seems like most TT kits (GTM also for example) use the disco potato, but I just don't get why.

Is it possible to use those instead?

They are using a much more superior turbo than the normal 2871R. The 2871R is actually not a "great" turbo. The compressor wheel to turbine wheel size difference on the 2871R introduces a very inefficient weak spot on that turbo that will make it laggier and not as responsive. It has too much back pressure as well which is death to any turbocharged motor. If your going to use a 71 wheel you want to step up to a 3071 that uses a larger turbine wheel.

The FI kit uses a much much much better turbo using the new Garrett GTX compressor wheel.

question answer

Lower cost is a big driving factor when making fi kits for the masses as well

GTX ftmfw!

esfourteen · 02-12-2013, 11:12 AM

the GT28RS .86 is a great match for this engine, especially stock internals, I made 495whp/410tq at 10psi with a very restrictive exhaust setup. if you're built it certainly depends on your power goals. Personally I never wanted more than 600-650whp max, I built for reliability. I'm quite confident the disco potatoes will get me over 600whp on 93, the GTX has some small improvements if you aren't running much boost, but once you get past ~18psi they are different animals all together.

Any plans for SC?

We have talked about it however perfecting this kit for the Z & G Coupe/Sedan is the top priority.

Thanks, Tony

Is CARB approval even a potential consideration for this kit? You get CARB...you get my money!

This is a big dream for all us Cali guys... The chances are very slim from what Tony and I have discussed. There is a cold start test where the cats have to start heating up within a certain time period (a good bit under a minute IIRC) and the turbos stop that from happening as they absorb a lot of air and heat as I'm sure you know. I am not saying its impossible and I am sure Tony will chime in more on this but just wanted to help give a little information.

Its been stated he is trying but it's a long process.
