_shaun_ Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The gt28 is a big turbo unless you aiming for 370+bhp I wouldn't bother. Manifold wise id go with wepr. What's the spec on your engine now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SDD Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Running a td04 on standerd internals but the car is off the road atm and im buying forged pistons for it .. and aiming for big power just need to know the best way to get there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 as a minimum you'll want forged pistons rods. Arp head bolts updated head gasket. And. Full engine rebuild. Really depends how far your planning on going but u should smash the 4k spending mark pretty quick win a forged gt28 build. Before you even touch brakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SDD Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yh i new it would be expensive but im in no rush to get it back on the road for a while so id rather do it right insted of cutting corners and risk braking anything .. and yh the engine is sat waiting to come out for a rebuild ... do i need to do anything to the crank atal ? And im guessing i will need better bearings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 You could lighten and polish the crank and yes better bearings etc, etc, etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whitenoize Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I don't see the point in a 400 bhp starlet for the roads fair one it's good to Brag about and for straight line action I'm just going for around 300 bhp and that's prob a bit much for the roads in Northern Ireland tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
