gt2871 is the way to go man... that's probably what I"ll swap to eventually, but I still haven't maxxed this one out yet, so we shall see

 

The GT2871 is perfect for the LSJ. Just don't go the diesel turbo route like Dan did. The videos make it look like it lags forever.

 

yeah it did seem that way... but that thing must pull like a damn freight train once it spools. I like my little turbo for now, that is til I get used to it and bored and decide to go bigger.

 

stop being a bitch. go with the T-76

 

hey the 2871r will mount up just like the t3/t4 right? like to the same manifold?

 

lol if I could get it to fit I would, might trade it for a 60-1 and some cash though, that would be nice in the balt lol, or 2 of them in the monte

think it's a t25 flange, but you might be able to get it with a t3 flange though.

 

i am pretty sure that you can get the GT2871 with a t3 flange.

 

Not directly from Garrett according to www.turbobygarrett.com . You may be able to from an aftermarket company.

 

now paul what choices do you have for upgrading your fuel system? as far as i know the only thing thats really out there is larger injectors. do any companies make aftermarket fuel rails, pumps, etc.

 

Dan's car gets full boost at about 4500ish with the cams. With cams and 15lbs it pulls just as hard as it did with stock cams and 20lbs. Soon to be in the area of 28lbs with meth.

Honestly, as bad as 4500 sounds, it isn't that bad. It's not like your sitting there for 10-20 seconds waiting. It takes like 3, just need to get used to driving the car in a different RPM range.

And yes it feels like a Boeing taking off a runway.

 

yeah these motors rev really fast as it is, so it's not big deal. just gotta drive in the higher rpm band that's all.

 

So i like the question about the fuel system. What options do we have for upgrades because maybe not right away but eventually we are going to need to upgrade the fuel system especially if people are going with alot bigger turbos.

 

another fuel pump and return style rail

 

would this be made custom? or where can we get this from or how can we make it, because im gonna wanna do it while im swapping the turbo to stay away from further headaches

 

completely custom

 

witt posted up how to make a return style system. I believe he also said it would make tunning easier

 

that + standalone are my next two steps to take on this car. Might give that MSD setup a try

 

hks v-pro

 

Ya i kinda took over the return setup from witt. Hope to have it all planned out and install within the next 3 months since i JUST got my car running a few days ago.

 

I hope it works out for you easy enough. Sounds like it should work on paper. Witts a smart dude

What cams are you running?

 

Damn man, you need a video camera. Sound quality on that cell phone vid was horrid.
