almera gti turbo

GSpec stage 3 will take 225whp stage 4 will take about 350 and still be nice and driveable
 
So is the standard clutch slipping on boost?

XTD stage 3 slipped on mine, but after the run in it was ok, i would suggest getting a stage 4 one, if your looking at them at all
 
as it is now

shud i carry on with it or just put standerd gti engine in her,this is wot it needs doin

head gasket
clutch
radiator
handbrake cables
new turbo pipe
oil leak on sump
brakes still shit,dont no wots up with them

advice welcome.
 
Id carry on with it. Get a HKS 2mm head gasket, yes its £190 but its built like a brick shithouse or cometic. The clutch depends on what you get and if you can do it yourself.
Radiator is a breeze to change maybe tight being a turbo but is worth fixing.
Handbrake i could'nt see being that much.
sump is easily replaceable
As for the breaks maybe look round for some on here, depending whats wrong with yours.

Head gasket and clutch would be worth doing at the same time, especially if you take it to a garage.
sump you could do yourself one day at a weekend.
Never worked on handbrake cables so cant comment.
Turbo pipe depends what one, boost or oil/coolant feed? Either way replacement one isnt going to be a awful lot. A decent machining firm should be able to make up a new turbo pipe.
You've spent some to get it this far its worth getting these bits done, even if it takes a few months.
Ive just spent £1800 all in getting the engine rebuilt drained my bank doing it but, way i see it there isn't many almera turbos floating about. Its nice to have something a bit different that you've put some time into. Its up to you at the end of the day. With what needs doing to it. The headgasket and clutch are the only real things that may require some wedge and time. The rest, parts and fixing should be straight forward enough and do able reasonably cheap. Stick with it :)
 
so most things sorted now cars bk running but still dont no wot to do with it.i still would sell.parts just had to get it sorted
radiator
new leads and full service
head gasket not gone so thats saved a job.so if anyone is intresterd in it 1500 and its sold
 
stripped her out today,getting ready for some race days but some mods to do first.will get pictures up asap.
got everything sorted on the car so i thought whats the point in selling something that i would miss:lol:so im goin to use it for drag days and as a toy for weekends.so no carpets,everything you can think off is goin,but i must say with everything out and the sound deadning the exhaust sounds louder than wot i thought but sounds awesome.so goin for more powerzzzz.

1.apexi avcr (boost control different boost set in gears)needed
2.stainless turbo manifold((got)
3.nismo 740cc injectors(need)
4.uprate the valve springs(as they are bouncing wen you up the boost past 1 bar)need
5.after market steering wheel(need)
