5 GT Turbo Campus turbo

[matstearn]

Hi I'm Mat and I've just bought the Campus turbo off of Adrian. I'm starting to do a few finishing touches, I've read through a few threads on various forums but I was after some info/advice. @Brigsy @Markey Mark BD i believe you guys are running quite high bhp, reliable engines I was wondering if you had any tips. Also as the suspension is all standard campus I can always convert it to ph2 gt turbo but I recall reading about people using 172 hubs and brakes etc. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this? I've had GTTs in the past but was just keen to know what the modern thinking on them is.
Cheers Mat

I do know a hell of a good painter, he's recently done a E30 M3. He's not cheap but you get what you pay for. I will dig out his details on the weekend.

Right, ph2 suspension on the way, ph2 hubs, shafts and brakes sorted BUT now turbo has been confirmed as scrap so what are you guys running? I'm tempted to buy new or recon rather than get one off another vehicle eg 200sx. Aim is 200-220bhp. Any companies you recommend?

@Big Steve - Raider I haven't forgotten about the painter, he has been on hols

Hi Mat,

I run a GT2560r and I'm probably around 220 mark maybe a tad more. I bought mine from BTN Turbo. I think @Scott_higgy bought one from someone like AET which included relevant water banjo etc.

 

[Scott_higgy]

I got mine from AET and they supply /sell the kit so it fits straight to the GTT everything's there.

 

[matstearn]

Thanks @Mark Davis @Scott_higgy Ill give both companies a shout. Is it simple to plumb in the water cooling, mine didn't have anything like that fitted. Am I looking at about £550ish?

 

[Mark Davis]

Yes it's simple enough.

You'll need the relevant water banjos x 2, an oil feed adaptor and a new actuator. I think my turbo was about £650 and then £100 odd for actuator and probably another £20 or so for the banjos etc. I'm no expert on turbos mate so there may well be others just as suitable or better.

If you buy from AET like Scott did I think you get most of that thrown in.

 

[Scott_higgy]

Yeah I went to AET and basically took my T2 off and stuck the gt2560r on. No dramas. Only had to get a different oil feed made up.

Was about £1k all in i think. Can't remember tbh

 

[Scott_higgy]

Just ring them they are really helpful. Explain what you want and go from there.

 

[matstearn]

Hello fellow GT2560 owners!!! Just a quick question, how did you guys plumb in the water lines for the turbo?

 

[Scott_higgy]

same as my t2

 

[Mark Davis]

As above, same as before.

 

[matstearn]

Ah, I will google some pics as mine wasn't like that. Cheers for the info.

 

[Mark Davis]

How do you mean yours wasn't like that Mat?

Water pipes weren't ran in. Would.be easy to add it back on though.
