GT25R Real Potential and Capabilities

It's a really not a good set up. I would love to have the stock MSP set up. How do you think it would cost to get a stock MSP set up?

Every HiBoost setup I have seen has been great and reliable. Are you just referring to the intake being over the manifold?

Sorry about that...your right the intake is what i am referring too. The turbo is great! I have absolutely no lag. All i need to buy now is the slim line A/C fan so my A/C will be cold again.
 
I actually think that i'm going to make a new manifold and put the turbo where i think it should go. Thats probably my best bet. Unless someone wants to trade turb's.

Didn't you get the bracket that leans the radiator forward on the passenger side away from the engine?

No I bought the kit a little over two years ago and It didn't come with that. Now that I have done a little bit of research I'm really interested in the GT28.
 
Don't want to read through 14 pages to see what the thread has fell into, but on the main thread topic, pushing 12 psi on the stock turbo on a mustang loaded chassis dyno, with 3 cylinders firing (#4 had fouled plug unknown at dyno time), put down 225hp/255 tq.

Great little turbo. Might scrap the 2871r for a regular disco potato because its not like you can use that power in this platform... i prefer the instant on boost!

I really doubt your car was only firing completely on 3 cyl.sure it might have been fouled,but still somewhat functioning.

Well... i think you should've seen this damn plug. i've never seen a spark plug so ******. The massive cylinder wash in #1 would concur. Never actually sealed the ring. We never could figure out why we through a #1 misfire code every time we started the car. Lesson to be learned?


FRESH PLUGS BEFORE DYNO!

plugs are cheap,but can cost you a lot later.

Damn straight! You can take that advice right to the bank. Another $3,000.00 rebuild is in the works because of a $1.44 spark plug.
 
I've been changing my spark plugs every time I change my oil just because it's so cheap.. and with a 3k service interval, the NGK copper plugs don't get worn down much :)
