New Turbo

[JIMTRON]

I just picked a Garrett turbo from a nissan s15 up pretty cheap. I think it will fit on the polo's manifold. Obviously I'll need fuel-reg, injectors, dump pie etc. Just wondering if v-tune would be enough to tune it?

I don't think it will. I'd look at going a more conventional route, rather than making it up as you go. It will be cheaper in the end.

Sorry, looking up the model numbers it's actually off an RB25 skyline engine. It's a T3 which i am pretty sure has the same flange as ours. I know the more conventional route is easier and cheaper, but i want more power than the K04, it's still a pretty small turbo, and if i'm gonna throw the money at it i don't want to be left hangin for more

I wouldnt even bother wasting your time doing it.....

You can pretty much make 100hp over stock with a K04, how much are you looking for?

It's the 45v4, which is the ball bearing version. I know it might be a pain to tune, but i figure it should give pretty good power. I would like to see 300hp so the K04 really doesn't cut it. But considering it in perfect cond for $200 i can afford some $ on tuning

Have you got someone lined up to do the software? That'll be a bigger hurdle to overcome.

You will need:
Front mount.
Injectors.
Custom exhaust manifold
Custom intake
Full exhaust

and a tune...

If you going to go to the effort of doing it all. Why not buy a 2871r or 3071r if you want more power.

I haven't got anyone lined up to do the software. Can you suggest someone?
If it is going to be to difficult i probably will go the gt3071r cause i know software is available for the 1.8t, but i'd like to work out what would be cheaper.
