    I dunno dude. A guy I know has a 9sec VL with a 2JZ.

    I asked him about the turbo.
    He said turbonetics. I said why not garrett?
    He said it's better, makes more power and spools a lot quicker.
    It's only the opinion of one guy but he's happy with his turbonetics. and there's borg warner turbos as well which they claim spools quicker than garrett stuff. and garrett based units by precision.

    Haven't heard anything good about turbonetics stuff... Stay with garrett, borg warner or trust and you'll be home free...
    I would think a normal 7a bottom end would be fine for a cubes increase in this application... your obviously going to have to rebuild what ever engine you chose anyway.. so forgies and rods is a given..

    This all raises the next question.. what GEARBOX do you plan to run.???
    you can get away with skimping alittle if theres no plans to run big rubber, but what ever you chose still has to be well strong..

    it's hard to even put an estimation on what a gearbox can handle, it's the shock loads that kill it. Also who makes this one bellhousing you found? if it's dellows then avoid it like the plauge

    W58 and 350 kw.. really.???.. Once again it come down to application... and why are you chasing 300 anyways..???

    300rwkw out a 4a is goin to be useless for anything other than drag racing.. and then a manual box would be pointless.. Unless its a dog box or a lenco/g-force/richmond/liberty ect..

    I* have an old zoom magazine which had a cortina with a 4agte which was expected to make over 300kw (wasn't dynoed yet). I'm pretty sure it used a gt3540 turbo, not sure on specs.

    I'll see if I can find it.

    I wouldn't bother using the w58 with you suspected 300kw setup they are only rated for 300hp. I've been thru 2 already and I am Just under 200kws. Go rb25/z32 or custom box. Sounds like this is going to be a drag ae86 now hehe
