Have you considered the BW S258 for a nice mix between the GT30R and the GT35R? http://www.timsturbos.com/S258.html It's twin scroll and has a very nice map. The shop that does tunning for injected performance(worlds fastest street Z33) loves these turbos. He says they kill the GT3076 for less money.I have seen one of these on a Supra in Lexington Kentucky put down 550whp on a dyno dynamics. That's close to 600whp on a dynojet.

Looks like it would be a good turbo for what im looking for, i just recently decided to start researching and figuring out what turbo i really want to run..

Also got some small stuff done today, bolted the motor/transmission in, installed the driveshaft, installed the starter and bolted the radiator in, started wireing the electric fan controler and decided to permanently mount my catch can that the previous owner had ziptied into the bay..

Ok guys so i got some small stuff done to the car today, but the reason im making this post is to see what u guys think about this oil filter relocation/ cooler kit, i have never ran an oil cooler and not quite sure what to look for, it deff looks to good to be true, and im really not into buying ebayed parts actually this would be the first thing i got for the car from ebay... Anyways heres the link..

looks like a good deal to me. the lines alone will cost $50+I got a perm cool universal kit from Summit Racing with the big ford style filter and installed a oil cooler inline from my work. It is a 13 plate cooler and with the big filter I have 5 quarts of volume. Let me know if you need a cooler I can hook you up. I work in R&D for one of the largest heat transfer companies in the world. I don't think you can beat the ebay price with the braided lines I just don't know about the bar and plate cooler. Here is a pic of mine off the car.........

as for your turbo, I have a nice gt35r with low miles on it, that would be perfect for your build. Just search for my link. It looks like everythign is going well for you

Did you end up using the sr transmission or the ka? I'm just wondering for when I finish my swap

Still haven't decided 100% but im thinkin of going with the fullrace kit but going to see if they will let me go with a 35r instead of the gt3071 or gt3076r, im in need if selling my bike, or im gonna hanve to wait till income tax time to do it though, im also going to get the manifold Hipercoated, and the compressor housing polished..

If I was building your build, I honestly wouldn't go with a gt35r, but with just a 30 series. You can hit your goal hp of 500 with it, and it'll be more street friendly. If you're still interested in my turbo, I cna send oyu all the info and pics on it. I've cleaned it up well now,s eeing as it's been laying around lol, but it's probaby more than what you're looking for Put it this way, it has the one upgrade you'd probably be wanting

When you get it running you gotta post some vids. This thing is gonna be a predator.

Yo Bro sick build you and I have almost the exact same setup except for some small things. How far are you from Philly?? I def want to see the car when its done! And you should honestly get rid of the crank pulley and put the stock one back on. Using the aftermarket crank pulley throws the balance of the crank off and can result in catastrophic failure. Just thought I'd mention thats why I didn't do mine. Check out my build in my sig.

Small update guys finally got to work on the car alittle and ordered some parts for it, im waiting on my rocker arms, 1 shim to finish clearancing the head, and i also ordered a cusco bronze shifter bushing, b/c my B&M bushing was just about dead, i also got around to test fitting the cold pipe from the greddy intake manifold to the intercooler just to make sure it fit, Also trying to figure out the wiring at the ecu since it was cut to remove the AFC controller. Next week i will be ordering my injectors and the JGY fuel rail. Once i have that ordered i just need 2 big ticket objects, my fullrace turbo set-up and the standalone! Heres some pics to hold ya off!!
