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.

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?
