I'd assume so. Just saw it over on the turboforums. I guess it's limited supply and you need to call him directly.

thats awesome, i ran a gt45 for a min, until i put a piston through it and got a tc78. i sold the gt45 to a guy after i scraped the aluminum off the blades (he knew this) and he put 10k miles on it, on like 6lbs or so.

It will be on a 3.54 gear this weekend. I'm sure the gear alone should make a big difference.

Has anyone gone faster than this with a 69mm gt45? Building a similar combo for one of my cars.

the OP of this thread didnt own the car at the time of that video. The new owner was named Matt Everett. he unfortunately wrecked the car and died in the crash nearly three years ago now.

I never realized that was the same car as the one in this thread though

I'm building a combo this winter that I hope to go 8's with in my pinto with the same turbo. gen4 4.8 in an aluminum block, 243's, ls1 intake and 2600lbs. Just need to decide on the cam.

Geez youre right, its been a while since i read this thread, i forgot the OP was an s13. Two totally different cars. But i followed both builds

Ive got a 4.8/gt45 combo myself. Still stock truck cam and i'm shopping for a new one myself. Stock powerband stinks with the stock cam, and it seems like its not worth using an OEM cam like an ls6 (since people ask silly money for them used, and the new cost isnt too far off an aftermarket cam).

LS9 cam is cheap, like $115 off summit, but after you factor in the cost of a front read timing cover and 1x cam gear, youre in the same boat.

Ill probably fork over the 400 bucks and get something custom spec'd and make more power

I think a triple 12 or any cam just big enough to carry the power to redline without choking out the hotside would work best. A ls6 would be good too but they are expensive.

Now we are picking up so much in the 1/8th that we are out of steam on the big end, hoping the 3.54 gear keeps the car in the fat part of the band.
Hey what diff are you running in the 240sx that has gears that low? I'm looking to drop a turbo 5.3 in my z32. Also what hearing were you running with the man Tran I'm keeping my 5 speed
