I dont mind getting the parts as I have a few contacts in the trade and also there is some good deals to be had in the second hand market etc.
I also have a brand new gt35/40r turbo with hks external wastegate, is it not worth going single turbo conversion with this??
As for forged pistons etc Cam are not selling a set?
If I go to that extent I my as well replace oil pump etc
thanx for the info guys
Personally I prefer twins but its a very personal thing.
I sold the JE pistons this afternoon
An uprated oil pump is a very good idea but the best one (Tomei with side mount pressure relief valve) is over a grand. Many owners on GTR reg recommend a 7000-7250 rev limit with std pump and after spinning a shell at 8400rpm due to cavitation/pump failure on std pump I'm inclined to agree. 500hp and not revving the bollox out of your motor you should be OK but if you like caning it within an inch of its life I'd advise a pump.
When you get to the level where you are changing pump its worth considering buying another lump that someones spent on tbh (just like with Cossies). There is a guy selling a new steel bottom end for £2200 on the GTR reg.
