    what kits are using what turbos?

    what cars are using the same turbo's?

    would the turbo form a VL work? its a 3.0L 6, so pretty close to mine.

    I suppose the GT40 from a XR6 turbo would be excessive.

    hmm, T28, thats on the later 200sx yeah? they run pretty high boost standard, so one would think they could handle my V6.

    Guna do some more homework.

    I'd be following American trends with this TBH. No point re-inventing the wheel. Not to say that it cannot be done cheaply though. I would be reluctant to tear down a good motor to lower compression, so don't go daft with the boost.

    WRX turbo or a 200sx/SR20 turbo would be way to small as they are designed for a 2 litre motor. You cant drop the boost on the stock actuator as they are set to run a minimum of 7-8 pound of boost.
    A T3 turbo off a VL tursbro commonwhore would be sufficient and shouldnt be very laggy on the 2.8 VR6 donk. A small sidemounted stock S13/Silvia/R32/Supra side mount cooler would be sufficient and wouldnt be hard to hide behind one of the front side vents.
    Would be interesting to see a cool little home made kit though, done on the cheap. I have thought and discussed the idea with a few mates for my 2 litre, and it wouldnt be too expensive for some extra fun!

    sounds good!! even with a cheap ebay t3 copy would do.

    and then front mount from ebay, and then screamer pipe and a bov.


    perfect!!!
