[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]Heya guys. Whos not doing a GTX/GTR swap? Garrett make a 250-300hp snail for the 323..... Product ID: GA-CUS-320-LAS. Its bout $1600. Either of u using this? If so, how much is install, and wat else u hooking it up with ie ECU type, i/c type, BOV etc. Total cost as opposed to engine swap? It keeps sitting in the back of my mind whether to sell in a year when Im working full time or whether to turbo and keep. Just dont want to overcapitalise in this car. :(
Cheers guys.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Mine cost me $6k in the end... I did all the work myself in garage with friends
6k was for everything
Motor
i/c and piping
Blitz BOV
Nearly every gasket changed
Exhaust
Timing belt
All new fluids
Paints
Engineering
Rego
I will have pics and a movie up soon.. Its running well but having problems with the water flow... Fixing that tonight... I think the water pump has rusted up from sitting around for so long. I might have to replace that... Its either that or the waste gate opening and making the rushing noise.. its hard to work out[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Your talking about the XTR turbo thats the direct bolt on
correct. *Looks interesting. *On the other hand remember
that Dan has Erics old setup so is running a T04 ball bearing
which is probably even bigger than the XTR.
I haven't upgraded because of reliability issues but
do think of them every single day.

[color=#000080:post_uid0]sorry mal..... its only a hi-flowed garrett t03/04 ball bearing unit.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Even better. T03 on the exhaust side for quick spool up
and T04 on intake to pump out good air.[/color:post_uid1]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Would this unit fit a 1.5L DOHC engine?[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000080:post_uid0]i think it would be a bit too big for the 1.5
for 1.5, i'd suggest a ball bearing t25 or even ball bearing t28 and a good setup.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Keeping the standard manifold saves about $500-700.
Turbo selection is such a grey area as spend here, save
there and then trying to figure which is best.
Compairing that turbo to a VF-8 Hybrid in output not sure
of and the VF-8 is only about $900 and will also bolt to the
standard manifold. Another option is a RB20/RB25 turbo
for $400 ball bearing and then make a manifold for
the price above. Use it till its not enough, sell it for almost
what you paid and then add whatever turbo that has a
T3 flange. Look at the output that Turbo has with his T3/T4.
Am also keen to know Rupe's output when they do the
fine tune on his ECU on the Dyno.

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Do you mind me asking what is the problem. Is it a
bent or broken wheel, an oil leak or a bearing problem.
Lot of things that may be damage that fixing them would
not exactly be regarded as a rebuild.

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Aren't you supposed to be using auto fluid in that box ??
The Mazda manuals (Box) use it cause the oil is so thin. Check
the manual (Book).
