Im planning on getting my motor fully built, here goes the "to get slash to do list", if you have any knowledge or better input of my wish list, please feel free to throw some commentary in.

Right now, I just have a bunch of bolt ons as of right now, majority will be switched out:

JDM FMICKoyo RadiatorFlexalitesHKS SSQVT28BLITZ intakeBLITZ catback180SX REAR ENDFuel pressure regulatorMKIV Sard fuel pump

I am aiming for a fairly, semi daily driver that can hit 400-450 wheel power, maybe 500 on high boost, but I really don't want to go too high... actually itll be more of a weekend car, just a highly driven weekend car.

thus being said, looking for your input on a turbo selection:

GT2871R + S14 SR transmission (Quick boost to rape the vettes?)

GT35R + Z32 TT transmission (Enough power to hold the MKIVs?

T51R KAI + Z32 TT transmission (I dont know why Im thinking about it, but I just might do it...)

Let me know your input, and if you feel that I need to add or subtract parts, please give me your input, Id love to hear it, thanks again.

If your going that big with everything then i would go with a gt35r turbo. you probably wouldnt be able to get 500whp out of a t28. actually f*** it. T51R KAI just for s***s and gigs

I was thinking of the T51R for highway pulls, I know that thing has to start spooling around 5000RPM, give or take, but when it hits, IT HITS.

Not too sure on how it efficient it would be on an SR20DET, but I know for damn sure on a 2J, that thing is a beast.

Any other ideas?

I rarely drive my 240 around, I keep her in storage, unless one of my buddies needs a car to drive. I am actually deployed right now, thank god I have internet out here in Afghanistan.

dont forget downforce..

for your" highway pulls" your going to spin and the rear end is going to be real happy.

my buddy friend has 500+hp ( its rumored to be 700) s14 sr with the s32 transmission and he ran no wing in the back and it was really happy... and put a wing on the back and it solved his problems with traction

but i like your set up.

GT35R... on a tiny a** SR that's going to be a late spool, and will give you 500 horsepower while also being fun in the city.

A huge turbo like they put on supras on an SR would be so crap. You would lag forever.

I was thinking that it would be lagzilla if a 51 was on it, but a GT35R? Dont those spool up quick enough, especially on a built SR?

I got them super heavyweight Sportmax rims, right now my funds are going towards other things, the money I can spend is going to power and comfort for my S13, hoping I can fit some M35 seats in this b****...

I didnt read anything about a head gasket? You definitely want a thicker multilayer, and ARP head studs no question.

I like the GT30R for those goals, or if that's a bit much, maybe a T3/T04S? You'd have to do some flow charting to see which trim/specs you want, though.

is say go with a gt3071r. and you don't need the bottom end modified that extensively to hit those goals, but if you want to go ahead.
