General consensus I have seen seems to be between 5 and 600 on Aristo and Supra forums - will see what happens anyway.

I just looked this up on the supraforums but good luck with your build I wanna see where this goes! And I like the idea of the twin gt28 upgrades bc of the fast spool up I can retain but power wise I would only wanna go between 550-600hp if possible!

Lol, that thread is just as vague - numbers ranging from 400-500ish again - my 500 hp @ wheels goal should be fine (hopefully) lol

So if you went with dual GT28s you would be keeping the sequential setup I assume?

As in parallel, a well set up single GT35 would outspool IMO.

Lol yea I know it's vague! But right now your running I hopes and dreams lol! Sall good! Your car I wanna see how much power you can run thru that tranny! Yes I would keep the sequential setup! But if I went single I would just use the turbo I have on my other gs which is a gt42r and dump the twins!

Unfortunately also found radiator has some coolant sweat around the bottom tank, so currently tossing up whether to repair, buy a pre-made alloy radiator ($$$) or get a custom one made up in NZ.

awesome build. couple of questions...

1. where did you install the MAF?
2. is the speed limiter set at 112? if so...what did you do to remove it?

Am deleting the MAF when I go single - will be running off MAP instead with the HKS ECU

Speed limited is set at 112 (180kph) but am told the HKS ECU overrides this.

Small update:

Have ordered my 2 core Mishimoto radiator, an 11" x 11" x 1-1/2" B&M Transmission Cooler rated at 29200BTU, and an 11" x 8" x 1-1/2" Engine Oil Cooler + Thermostat plate rated at 20500BTU.

Should do the trick for keeping temps respectable.

Well, the time has come!

Dropping car off at ST-Hitec tomorrow where Soichi will work his magic - installing the turbo and all related gear, resealing the engine, new stem seals, cams etc, and installing and tuning the F-Con V Pro v 4.00!

Hoping to have it back in a week or so

with all those chassis and sub frame links how much of a difference did you notice on overall tightness and responsiveness from adding those?
