Price check on GTX35* supercores.

A GTX76 will spool but loads faster to 15psi than a GT82 

 

A GTX82 will spool slightly slower than a GT82 to 15psi but as you already read it shines like a beast over 18psi ( for what it is ) 

 

I like the GT82 ( stock B series turbo and FGF6 ) but the GTX76 is a weapon even at 15psi and yes correctly tuned will still push north of 350rwkw on 98 fuel easily

Yeah if you want noticeably earlier boost and don't have a goal for much more power go the GTX3576!

what's the actual problem with the car?

sounds like you're happy with how it is and should leave it that way

 

Short ver of a long story... car lost a fight with a tilt tray.  Driver pocket dialed tray with his remote and picked car up by front bar.  While waiting for full repairs, IC pipe rubbed and split.. While sorting that, found all the exhaust side bolts were loose (again)   While sorting that, found dings in the compressor wheel.    Not much lateral but a fair amount of end play.

 

 

I'm really thinking seriously about that GTX 76 option Jet.  I pretty much have to make a descision this arvo and it's not proving easy.

ouch... stick with the stock turbo rebuild, imho.

By tray I assume you mean like a alloy try or something? cab chassis weighs 1540kg that's deliverd with nothing on it at all I belive. With style side they are the 1800+ kg. Very similar to the sedan. If you have an alloy tray with some boxes and even a little bit of gear your probably easily sedan weight. If your worried about grip now a 76 wont help with that in anyway lol. ever so slightly slower spool and more top end where you dont have traction issues would make more sense then an even more aggressive power curve wouldnt it? Id say the live rear axle and leaf springs vs the IRS(which is average) in the sedan is the issue.

I paid $1800 for a gtx3576. Look at my thread. Gtx3576 oct 2014. Dont know how to add threads. New ceramic model

I just had my fg ute setup with a 61mm billet wheel into the factory turbo and supporting mods made 360kw at the wheels and had all my tools out for the pump install. Drove it for a week with nothing in the back and sh*tty 245's (I carry a lot of weight everyday and keep breaking wide rim and good tyre combos so gave up) had huge traction problems to the point where it was the slowest car I think I had ever driven it just fried the tyres as soon as you touched boost. I was abit worried I had over done it drive ability wise until I loaded my tools back in, now it's a dog again. So I get your point about not over doing it with an empty tray.

Well, I'm just back from dropping it off to have the work done.  At the end of the day.. all factors considered, incl cost and time.   I decided to go with the rebuild using GT core, and have the wastegate mod done while its apart.   With the bill a bit over $1500.    My inner hoon died a little inside.  But my wallet is happy. lol. 

 

That $650 one is a bargain, will let someone else pick that up this time, but thanks   

 

Bizket I did read your thread.  Hope yours is all sorted soon if not already.  

 

Fives,  that's it exactly.  I used to think there was no such thing as too much wheelspin.  But cheap 245's on the back of one of these changed my mind.  It was at the point where I couldnt actually enjoy the engine because I was constantly sorting out directional issues.     I stuck 275's under there and that did bring things back to fun.  By which I mean still easy enough to spin, but now it's optional.

 

Barnz, you make a very good point.  And I guess the thing is I'm trying to be sensible here. lol.  This is the most sensible car I've owned in the last 20 years.  So I guess it's responsiveness rather than earlier power delivery that seemed attractive.    Spin in 2nd and 3rd.. Well that's just fun.  If it breaks loose at 5kRPM in 4th, it's just plain sketchy.  On and yes Im sure you are correct, that live axle and leaves is well.. a bit agricultural.   I've got koni's and air bags so I don't have to compromise on spring rate.  But still.  yeah.  

 

that's a pick of the tray..   No it's not pretty.. but it is very functional if perhaps a bit light.  I have plans to get some under tray work boxes on there and maybe even a water tank.

Man you could do some skids in that
