[skaterpunk240sx]

hey all lookin for some insight i have a s13 blacktop completly stock i got the engine trans stock ic sr driveshaft and jdm lsd for $1940 including shipping (good deal??) i dont have much $$$ and want a very reliable 350 at the wheels (this is my daily driver) am interested in the gt2871 but is very pricy anyone have anyplace to get a good price for one and does anyone have any setup ideas or advice???

what I have is a typical setup.

As for the price, you get sometimes find used ones on ebay but something like a turbo, I would want it brand new. I got mine from hybridynamics.com

The .86 A/R should suffice. You won't find one for much under $1100 so that should be your budget. Naturally you won't just be able to slap on the GT2871R and expect to get 350. You'll have to rework your fuel system. Getting AFR's tuned reliably is the key to a reliable engine, not horsepower levels (to a certain extent)

i was thinking of the .86 but i have read alot of good things on the .63 i want a mean band and it seems that the .62 is the way to go . i live in ny ny does any one know any reliable speed shops round here??? that i can get help without pressure to buy ???

yeah for your power goals, you should be fine with .64 but I warn you, once you get up there you are going to crave for more power as I am now. haha. but .64 spools up nicely.

^ LOL that's why I am going with the .86 A/R or a custom T88

I would suggest the .64 A/R as well. It will support 400whp, and I really think that's pushing the practical, usable power limit in an s-chassis.

My buddy had the .86. It made full boost at 3700rpm and put down something like 351 whp with a super rich tune.

the .64 will make those numbers easy, and if you were running budget and wanted to add onto that motor i'd do this

Good 2.5" exhaust, get brand name but you can get it usedGT2871R .64 a/rAftermarket o2 housing, ebay will suffice for $8050lb msd injectorsSAFC II for tuningWalbro fuel pumpz32 maf

You should make those numbers right under 20psi with a good tune (i can hit that at 16psi), over 20psi will be pushing those injectors. Anything over 600cc injectors you will have to do a rom tune which will up your budget around $400

But there isn't a big price difference with the .86 and the .64, its a matter of boosting at ~3300 rpms or ~4000 rpms, and that all is based off what your driving for (86 for drag 64 for drifting, whatever its debatable)

good luck

go 3" exhausti would suggest going bigger than 50lbs/525cc incase you want more power in the future and you'll be using less cycle duty. probably 650cc would be fine.safc II could not tune bigger injectors than 550cc so you would need something to manage it. Enthalpy, emange ultimate, pfc... some cams would be nice but not necessary. it would improve your powerband

hey i just bought a gt2871r and some nismo 740's!!! i think im going to run apex-i power fc any one running that system??? i was told it should be good for a little over 350hp what do u guys think?? and about a shop in ny i use built performance i like them there allot of help there website is builtperformancestore.com and thares also heavy throttle and they are both in the Poughkeepsie and both are good but if go for built!!

[skaterpunk240sx]

i am also in new york how far are built from the tristate area??? also curious about power fc my friend gave me one can i upgrade it to djrtro????? does anyone know were to buy sensors and harness?????

[srswap20det]

hey yeah built is prolly like 60miles or so north of nyc in the city of Poughkeepsie and i think u can buy the sensors from any apex-i dealer and than you need to get it tuned. do you know of n e good tuners around ny??
