e I have been saying that the GT30's are perfectly sized for our cars.
That's the advice I always give....AWESOME area under the curve, with a full 3 or 3.5" exhaust this turbo will make 450+ wheel no problem and give an amazing powerband.....
Fellow S2Ki member Kleecker recently had his car turbocharged by InlinePRO as well. Many similarities between our two setups. Same kit, same exhaust system same head gasket, almost the same boost level, but very different turbos.
I do not know the exact specs on his turbo other than that it is a GT35 series. Here is an overlay of our two dyno runs. My car at 19.5 psi and Kleecker's at 18.
Too much fun!! I should have been a bit more patient instead of sending you a pm as soon as I saw your post. I find it quite interesting to observe that many additional members are also experiencing this metamorphosis and are wondering what the experience will be like.
I look forward to seeing your video.
When you are assembling the data to include in your post identifying the mods, could you also incorporate any that were made to the drivetain and differential components?
I should be completed with my new install in two weeks or thereabouts. I will be fun to compare notes on the differences between our respective power systems.
Bud, you drive careful and stay healthy.
P.S. Is there a badge for members of the 400 club?

Wheels and tires are stock. 16" Potenza S-02s. Not exactly "grippy" in cold weather.
Invest in some new tires man. I can't imagine putting down that kind of power to a 225/50/16 in the rear. It's not safe.
I have about the same whp for now and I'm running Yoko ADVAN Neova 255/40/17 with my old 457R gears and I don't get the wiggly rear end unless I smash it on cold tires in third.
I'm in the process of putting in a new InlinePRO built motor and the Nissan diff conversion and I will probably try and stuff at least a 275 in the back for that.
I'd love to go super wide in the back but I'll need to go a lot wider in the front as well to retain my handling balance. How wide do you guys think I'll need to go in the rear? They don't have to be anything fancy.
Autocrossing this thing is going to be "interesting". Interesting as in sideways.
Congrats on the numbers, yeah i took my car out last night and punched it in 3rd gear against a 500whp G35 and the backend def. didnt like it too much. Just like you the car owned me for awhile but yesterday was the first full day i really beat on the car on and like you said the power comes on so smooth that its very predictable. I def. owned a few cars last night. Enjoy, have fun, and be safe
