3Katz Donating Members 122 Member For: 6y 10m 17d Posted 28/03/20 01:08 AM Share Posted 28/03/20 01:08 AM The current setup in my RTV is a stock BA Turbo with FG cams and Atomic springs. I am using a Typhoon cooler, the turbo is a Hypergear ATR45 and we're at 260kw through a BTR. It is a good combo and fun to drive but I would like to do more racing at Willowbank. I am in the process of having a forged bottom end built with ARP gear to hold it all together, I have a PW stage 2 kit ordered along with the hot side piping. I would like to use the factory intake and exhaust manifolds and keep it internal gate with a 4" dump. It would be great if the current turbo were up to the task of maximising the new setup but I'm not sure it will be. I realise I may have to get my auto built, if I do it won't be with a high stall convertor as this is still my daily driver. What would you guys recommend? I have done lots of reading and am leaning towards a GTX3582 but have no experience in selecting a turbo... I should have mentioned I will have a good fuel system but can only run 98, e85 is not an option where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does what it claims I.e. 900hp flow with a 62mm inducer that has better response than a standard GT3582, then it'd be spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autotech recently tuned a Subaru that made 450rwks with a GTX3584RS, customer wasn't happy with the slow spool (Circuit car), so they tried a G35 (900 I think) It made just under the 446rwkws but came on a hell of a lot earlier. Customer was very happy. I'd love to see a G35-900 on a falcon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward to trying the g series turbo was originally going to put a gen 2 gtx3582r but have heard really good things about the g series turbos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably need a custom exhaust manifold aswell 1 hour ago, TUF6 said: I’m going ahead with the g35-900 engine builder and tuner said it’ll be great for my power level.
