I Can't Stop Modding

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

The GT40 56 trim compressor wheel is what everyone and their mom has now in the milloin varaitions it is combined with, but we'll just have to see who makes power or goes fast with their setups. If everyone does, good for them, but that is highly doubtful due to reasons I will not list.

it's still the 56 trim wheel. But Larger then the standard 56trims.

I'll admit when it comes to knowing wheel spect, and what not I have no clue. I'd been debating on getting the pte 56trim and even the FP3065 for along time.

Then I heard about the FP3565 in some random thread and was like WTF is this.

I still have no clue what the exact spects are and really I don't even care.

When I think turbo's I think:
-lb's/Min
-Spool RPMS
-EST Pump HP
-EST Race HP
-and how can I fit that on my car.

that's basically it as far as I'm concerned. So after talking with Shane and Moe about what I wanted

Shane made up a list of the turbo's that fit into that category for me. And then I just picked the one I liked the most out of that list. It came down to price vs potential.

Don't picture something gigantic - it's only a little larger then what most of you are running. And I'm sure some of you might already be considering this turbo.

But anyways It's a PTE turbo simular to the FP3565. but non "BB" (limited budget)

I'm hoping It'll spool somewhere around 5200rpms and since my block isn't built yet. I'm limited to the stock power handling. But my goal is at somepoint in the future to build a 2.4

But even with the set up I have there is always bigger / better possibilities. But for me I have a limited budget to work with. So I mod my car when I can and how I can.

There are definetley limitations/upgrades to most of my set up. But at least I'm now comfortable in saying that my car is descently set up. I tried not to skimp to much with this years changes. But like I said limited budget is the only reason I didn't just go crazy with my set up.
Cause honestly I love this hobby, I love almost everything about it. If I had more money oh the things I'd do. :3gears:

Well it'll make power. But as you all know, me going fast........ Ya that's a joke.......I've realized that'll never happen.

Not as big as James 56-trim though...

[SlowWhite]

Like I said it's nothing to huge and figured some of you probably were already looking at it as a possibility.


For me I mod my car for myself. And I wanted something different then the standard PTE Mitsu 56trim.

Damn, now I don't feel so bad as I see allot of people saying their cars are down and 6 grand invested. Yikes! hmy:
My car is a daily driver and there are no tracks in the Williston area so not in it for the times. But moving to Tampa next fall so maybe things will change. I got the old 7 bolt with 120,xxx miles and so waiting to get to Florida to do the 6 bolt swap. Until then no thoughts on turbo or engine upgrades. Would like a FMIC but that can wait.
I am finding all my money is going for upkeep and repair:
ICS (If anyone has one lying around let me know)
Rear wheel bearings going out
Shifting issues so maybe a tranny rebuild soon,
Rotors
SS Brake lines
Pads

The list goes on. Good luck to everyone. Thanks for the replies.

PS Where is everyone getting all the money to pay for this. If there is a money tree in MN please let me know!!!

[SlowWhite]

Dude don't even get me started on Repairs, 6K is like pocket change compared to the total I've spent in the 4-5 years i've been into DSM's.

times that by about 13 and you'll be where I'm at.

yeah let me in on the money deal too!! i want some more money for my car too! :bounce:

[SlowWhite]

Ok her's how you do it.

Sell everything you own to pay for Repairs. Then don't leave the house for 3 years to do anything. Eat only PB&J for 2 years, drink only water. And Nothing else so that when you do have money you can put it towards upgrades.

Basically live your life like a Broke ass MOFO. and be just like me. :dsmrule:


"I live my life 10 repairs at a time"

ROTFL!

I heard of the "instant ramen" budget. That's where you buy a case of it and eat only instant ramen until you have the money for the car.

I'll just keep searching for that money tree instead.

yeah those are like 13 cents a package..... lots of money saved for repairs!!! :bounce:

Don't forget the side benifit by eating this way. Your probably loosing weight as well eating these types of food. So there you go. got some weight savings as an extra bonus.
