hi guys its been a while, my cpu crashed for the passed 3 months... i dont know it was acting gay.. kept fixing it and it kept dying..
the car is comming along great.. for those of you how dont rember me i have a 97 240sx. it was a le..
so far i have a apex-i n1 dual, denso plugs, 5 zigen thyphoons rims (17x7.5) tanabe gf210, sus. tech. swap bars, and steel braided break lines.. its comming together well...
my question is im going turbo soon.. ka-t all the way, im getting a down pipe, i/c piping and exhasut mainflod, with all the lines and fitting for about 500.. i just gotta get a t3 turbo and a intercooler, and run low boost untill i can afford fmu...
turbo size.. all im finding is a .50/70 a/r. i wanted a .63 on the turbine and a .70 on the compressor.. i wana keep the turbo for a while and i dont mind lag.. i dont really care for the quick spool up, my last car had a tiny turbo and it went into boost undre any load.. it wasnt fun..
should i go with the .50/.70 a/r? or what do you recomend bigger?
also for breaks, im getting z breaks reallys soon, i want bigger radius cross drilled rotors, where can i get then and are the rotors off a z bigger then a 240?
thanks for the help.

It's "brakes".

Koukis kick so much ass he probably forgot about the Probe! lol, well, maybe he misses the boost. And "brakes" isn't a fucking hard word, it's not like someone can't spell cockerspaniel (I prolly made a mistake), "brakes" is a 6 letter, every day word.

you should ask nissanfanatic. me and him was ploting out compressor graphs for the hell of it, and it turns out that the T04E .50 trim has the best and widest efficency range for our 2.4 liter. it never hits the surge line of the graph. however hte turbo is 800 bucks new. i think nissanfanatic should invest in brakes and suspension before he buys that turbo.

LOL My brakes become sparklers after a good 140mph+ run or two. Gets kinda floaty too!hahahahahahha N33d t3H Win6 foR t3h Ne6AtiV3 dOWWWNNf0rsseeee Y000!11111 RW240 T3ll t3hm S4W iT on T3h IntArWEb!!111
I just bought the Groundzero manifold and I'm saving for a T3/T04E 50trim right now which is like $650 new IIRC. Comressor housing size will have little to do with spool. Exhaust AR size/wheel trim matters much more. Do like a .63ar turbine housing and you should be good. BTW, that T04E will take you to approx 450whp...
And you should prolly just wait for some fuel management. FMU's are cheap. Too cheap not to use.... 8:1 would do just fine.
