Or could I just get a exhaust manifold meant for a FC to put this turbo in my car? I dont really feel like making a manifold and such...Would just rather buy one off the shelf, and I hear FD ones are outrageous in price when a FC one will work and they are cheaper... A 13B is a 13b right ?


Honestly to tell the truth, if I have to send this turbo I have back to get fixed, I will be fiending to go to the track, Ill probally drop $3k without thinking much about to just get on the road, its what I need to do anyways
They are going for around $2000AUD at the moment. I might see if we can tune up an exhaust manifold for it as well if you want me to get one for you. Will be similar to mine and you can use the same wastegate (Turbosmart 45mm)

All up with turbo, mainfold and wastegate you might be looking at max $3500AUD + freight?

Yeah I was looking around doing some pricing, and I came up with this (all AUS $'s)

GT35/40 $2000
TurboSmart 45mm WG for $730

If I had your connection make me a manifold, and I got the turbo and wastegate, all I have to fab is the down pipe, and some IC piping and Im good to go...

Check and see what the manifold would cost to have made, keeping in mind I have nothing on the exhaust side of the motor, im betting mine loooks just like yours minus the steering box, so it should be loads simplier

Don't forget an oil feed!

Uh, anyway... Nice vid. Let's hope no cops look at your site and see this and all the others. Nah actually, doesn't matter, cause I'm sure they are all private roads.

Yelp LOL

Hey I got this price... whats this look like steve?

Do you want a high mount GT35/40 Kit? If so I can do one with the items below:-



Gt35/40 turbo

Polished stainless steel manifold

Turbosmart 45mm Pro’gate

Stainless steel downpipe with wastegate plumbed back in and flex joint.

Braided stainless oil feed line

Oil drain tube off turbo

Water fittings for turbo

Gaskets for all the above



This kit requires you to move the air pump and possible cut a little of the fan shroud.

Price inc freight to the USA is $5500aud.

I think Im kinda scared of it Steve, thats an aweful lot of horsepower for an un built rotary, not to mention I got a shitload of other stuff to do to the car. maybe I should wait until I do the rear end mod, roll cage, new wheels and the rest of the body kit. Or I should roll stealth with >500 hp

Great video.......how come it sounds like the engine was stumbling a little bit in 1st gear? My car does that sometimes when it's cold and my secondaries start to slightly open.

I think that is what you call feathering the throttle You can do that when you have that kind of power!!!

Hey, I think he was on the wrong side of the road......so was the car coming at him!! JK

Yup, it was the rev limiter

Set at 8500, with the GT don't need to rev it any higher!

But yeah I'd love to see the video as well.
