any idea how the pt66 compares to any of these turbos i have mentioned

 

On a goo street port I am going to guess 4600 to 4800. You can probably search and find some dynos.

 

^^ What good is a bigger turbo if you dont' have the **** required to take advantage of it?? All I see on here is people wanting "X" turbo. Having a bigger turbo doesn't always mean a better performing car.

 

yea, the only thing i need is fuel system upgrade any recommendations and a comptent tuner in the va/dc/md area.

 

I agree, but just answering dude's questions.

IMO, If I had a good amount of money, and could get any turbo to make 450 rwhp on pump, I would buy a GT42, HKS T51R SPL, or a T88H. All are huge *** turbos, with top end that will bust your ***. and capable or 500 on pump, 600+ on race.

 

AMRAAM4 you car is amazing looking let me just say, how much did that paint job cost you and where did you get it done?

 

GT42? any info on this turbo and who sells it?

 

Not sure where you can get one. Search around on here, some people are doing it.

 

do since oyu guys live in MD and VA who are some good tuners around our area?

 

you have an aftermarket clutch and 3 row intercooler?

fuel system..check out KGParts.com

 

well i was gonna stick with my greddy 2 row and for a clutch i was thinking ACT Extreme clutch, i want something that can be used for daily driving and can hold all the power down.

 

I go to NC (Rotorsports Racing), Damn good work. www.rotorsportsracing.com
Not sure about anyone else.

 

how much they charge for PFC tuning

 

ACT Extreme will work, Greddy 2 row probably won't cut it.

 

Not sure, haven't gotten any done.

 

Shabib, thanks for the compliments. As for the paint job and body work....I could probably get the person who did the work so much damn business from the northeast section of FDs alone...it would double his yearly workload. A friend from my first internet car club...his parents own their own shop out in the hills of PA. They build a 3 car garage next to their home, one bay which has the paint booth. I drove the car out there for all the work. Lets just say it was less than a single turbo kit I can't thank them enough (and they didn't give me any big discount, just a small business with little overhead and reasonable rate). Everytime I look at the car and think of how much it cost...I feel like I ripped them off. Crazy thing...I actually paid them $300 more than what my friend quoted because I was worried LOL


You'll need a 3-row IC to hit 15psi +

 

man hook a brother up with a paint job, nah jk

i notice you have bnr turbos, how are they, i am contemplating twins upgrades but havent heard much about them.

 

I'm going single...what does that say?

I'll try and set anyone up with a paint job that wants one...however, you have to pay me a $200 finder fee......but trust me, you'll have that left over compared to taking it to a typical city rape shop

 

200 finder fee thats fine with me, did they paint your engine bay and what do they complete sand the car down then reprimer/paint/clear coat it, also what turbo are you thinking of getting?

 

I did not have them do the engine bay because the engine was still in there and I wasn't dicking around having it pulled...trailered out...trailered back..reinstalled, when eventually the engine will go and I will need a new one. I will have it done then, along with parts chromed/polished.

They sanded the entire car, filled dents, removed and edged fenders, primed, installed new bumper/sideskirts/99 wing/rear mud guards, painted car and all jams and underside of hood, clearcoated, wetsanded.

 

OK here GT40R's are on indefinite backorder, I can order one just couldn't tell you how soon it will get here. I have almost ten still on order from before.(over a year ago) Gt42R's are available but aren't really a drive around town turbo. Pricing has gone up on all GT series turbos I would say your goal of 450whp@17psi dictates a larger turbo though.

 

I'm not sure whats with all the misniformation going on with 3-row intercoolers.

I have a greddy 2-row R core intercooler and it works perfectly fine. my intake temps are 5-10 degrees F over ambient temps. i dont exactly run moderate amounts of boost either.

theres no "need" for a 3-row intercooler like some people are saying.

 

According to 3 very well known tuners/turbo guys I have spoke to, your thoughts are incorrect. And considering the price differenc is $100 I am confident they are not just saying this to make more money.

 

i have the r-85 and a 2 row greddy intercooler! i havent dynoed yet but i did beat a 375whp supra and im only runing 14psi, i get full boost around 4300 but i do have a street port

 

which turbo would have a stronger top end, t-78 or r85?
