Yea, but this one is sweet. Dee already built the engine., fuel system is done. I've only have to get a Kazz and axels, have Dee wire and tune the Tec3 and it'll be ready for the track.

Glad that you guys have been getting through with apec because I havent. I called them Four times...count them FOUR times!! about their Gt40 kits and no replys by whatever his name is ...I think cris or something like that. It's been almost 2 months now.Glad business is doing great for you guys. Money must be runnming good to have selected customers, unless you all have a problem calling back overseas. Anyways my car will still be finished and be shipped in time for hotimport night in florida in december guys, So don't hassell yourselves to call me to find out what is wrong. I'll have pettitracing do the dynoeing and send my car to moroso to run and some shows.
But anyways, I believe that spending on the Gt40r kit is really just a waste of money, I think that the painbearing gt40 would do just fine on a rotary that is looking for 500whp due to the amount of exhaust gas that is produced by this little motor, so the R would just be a want more than anything else, Do't get me wrong, it would spool faster than the plain bearing, but nothing to where it's worth an extra grand. I looked at dees turbo and it's very impressive, but I think more info ius need on his turbo before hacking out cash for a secret turbo. There are alot of turbos out there that have maps without guessing what your getting and if it's the right thing for your car.
I think alot of people get their wants and needs out of perspective and end of spending more not for hp but for bragging rights. Thats why a person with 1/2 the money but more knowledge can be as fast as some of the guys that are spending out through their asses to go slow anyway.
Just my 2 cents guys.
by the way....Gt40 anyday

Just curious, did you leave a message?, if you did and no one got back to you sorry for that, if you didn't can't help ya with that one. I have people that call constantly till someone picks up then "acts" sorry for doing it when you tell them you were stuck under a car and everyone else is not available to pick up either, or I got the die grinder and compressor going and can't hear the phone up front. It has nothing to do with being selective, and more to do with not being able to keep up. I have on average 13 to 20FD's here at any given time, that doesn't include the turbo kits being ordered and motors being built all in house and not enough employees I can hire and trust enough to work on your guys cars, nor the projects I'm constantly working on for new product, you can easily email someone here as well.
The GT40 and 40R use different wheels as well, and it is not a 1K difference in price unless your getting the GT40 for around $500 or getting ripped on the 40R, but thanks for the support anyway.

-Sean

ahh yes.. sean is what your name is. I've called and left messages on every call, they said that you were out and will be back in 30 minutes. I'm not trying to be an *******, but you must imagine how hard it is when your trying to build a car outside if the US for competion in the US. I told my sponsors about you and in the end I had no info about the stuff that I had needed from you. Anyway since this is the only way we can actually talk, how much is for your gt40r kit. And can your manifold work on the right hand drive FD. I've been waiting 2 months to ask you these questions and others that I can't even remember now.Also can you get it polished and for how much?Thanks again sean.

Just like it says. If you had your choice of either turbo kit. which one would you pick and why?
I think it would be better to observe the turbine/compressor maps before making a decision. Personally, I'm insane, and I would run a dual GT2835 setup. Seriously, I wouldn't make judgement based on bearings, dyno charts etc. You want your turbocharger to run smoothly right? Check the turbine and compressor efficiencies .
