Question for the BT guys

[A4Dit]

So being that I have some extra funds and a tax return on the way I decided to put the Iforged wheels on hold and drop the coin for some real HP. My question- Which turbo should I go with? I will be running APR software. I do not need crazy power just something that will be there if I choose to use it, maybe 275-300 whp. The Gt28r is relatively inexpensive but I've read in the past that you can detonate your engine due to boost spikes that they create. GTRS/GT28rs is what I hear everyone running but I just think it will be too much for me as a daily. I did search but this is an opinion thread, so post opinions if you have a BT. Also I found a GT28r for a reasonable price so this is why I'm asking. Thanks guys.

I would go for a GTRS however its going to come in on the bottom of the HP scale your looking for. You'll be around 275-280whp on pump with all the supporting mods. GT28R is not going to get you anywhere close to 275whp, even on 100 octane. If you dont have a supplier for the parts, let me know!

I'm not sure you can get APR BT tuning without buying their kit.
With that said, I'm still diggin' on my stage 3+. until I see the BAT guys running something reliable and tested, I'm very happy with what I've got and beat up on most cars on the road in my area.

theres like a trillion BAT kits with tons of milage on Vortex

My BAT has been flawless, except for the turbo going bad, I think that was due to insufficient signal to the BOV and the bearings got beat out of it. But Revo software has adapted very well.

[A4Dit]

Alright, can you PM me Shawn and let me know what I'm looking at spending for the GTRS and hardware. I will be sourcing a manifold and injectors on my own unless you can get ahold of everything at better pricing.

If you need a set of Genesis 440cc injectors let me know.

I'll be swapping them out when I get the Genesis 550cc units in.

I planned on going w/ genesis injectors, let me know when they'll be available.

Already have a Racetec that I bought in december, it's sitting in my family room. This has been a plan in the making since December, I just lacked the funds. I'll get there piece by piece. Early spring hopefully.

[dirtybrd]

I just lacked the funds. I'll get there piece by piece.

Boy do I know how you feel. I'm blowing almost half my income tax check on the car. And I'm getting back $4400. I'm so excited!!!!! End of the week.

[A4ringedONE8T]

Give me a call tomorrow if you would and we can talk about it. I dont have prices in front me since Im sitting on the couch Ive got a set of Genesis 430's as well if you want/need them

[B6Lovin]

im right there with you man. GTRS is the way i'm going... if you're lacking funds and going piece by piece - you can get the turbo/hardware and injectors and more or less be good to go. assuming you have clutch, exhaust, TIP, FMIC, and a DV already.

for the TIP - i suggest you go the custom route. as i'm finding out, it'll allow for further expansion down the road (if you move to a 3" MAF/550's and a 2871 or 3071 w/a new manifold) and it's A LOT less expensive.

They will be available next week when my 550s arrive.

Total time the 430s have been in use? Less than 50 hours.

Yeah I think I'm set with supporting mods, I have DV, testpipe, exhaust, fmic and a tip but it is APR(will it work?). I currently have Apr software on my car, just stage one. Do I have to go REVO for stg3 software or can I run APR? Clutch will be coming in a couple months.

[dirtybrd]

Revo, without a doubt.

[A4Dit]

^^gotcha, Shawn pm me your number, I used to have it but never saved it to my phone.

yay! more BT goodness on the forums.

i'm sure you and me will be bitching and asking questions for the next year about how now our cars are faster but not fast enough and blah blah blah. lol

275-300 whp will be fine for me, I just want the power here and there plus I know these cars werent built to handle anymore power than that. My dad builds race cars and told me he is going to laugh when I break my first cv axle and say "I told you so". The stock Ko3 just isnt enough for me even with the APR. If I can do this under 3 grand I'm going to be happy. I have more than half of that already and am putting my gold iforged wheels on hold again.

[bwoy1981]

Wow. Happy to hear the good news Jimmy! Keep me posted!

[jcg05c]

buy my buddies car. Hes trying to sell it cheap so he can start a new car. I rode in it superbowl. ITS RIGODAMDICILOUS. Its a 2.0t AWD eagle talon/meth injected/bigger turbo/running 30psi. 495 horse power. Thats cool though yea after riding in his car. Im done upgrading anything Hp wise besides injectors because even after 10,000 dollars i still wont be as fast as him haha. Im going to try to bring him out Wednesday and ride with him. Are you guys going out?

[JoeM]

I'm going this route...

[Gallep]

I'm going this route...

What's the "Eliminator_GT2871R_Option" involve?

And REVO has a tune for the Eliminator right?

[Carlitos]

no, I will go with the GT28RS...

since I installed my FMIC this past weekend the k03 is on her late stages of dying. So I have to upgrade, I'm goin' to skip k04 and go directly to gt28rs. It's only ~$2,500 w/o the tip that I still need.

You're in the same boat as I am, my turbo is leaking oil and I figured I would catch it before it dies completely. Why go K04 when you can go BT for a little bit more.

[burns420]

what would it cost roughly to go with the gt28rs and all necessary mods from bone stock? im thinking of doing k04 but may just skip that and get the gt28rs.

With the turbo, software and all supporting mods you're looking at roughly 5 grand, unless you can find everything used.

[burns420]

okay thanks. im assuming thats just for the parts(tubo kit, intercooler, software, clutch...). by the time i get it installed thats kinda out of my budget. ill probably stick with the ko4 for now.

[A4Dit]

Correct, that is just parts no labor.
