As OP noted - 1M's are not appreciating like they are in the USA. I know a lot of guys overseas and out of the USA have trouble or pay premiums for parts so for him it likely was cheaper to buy the 1M and single turbo it than piece for piece doing a true 1m conversion, cosmetic and mechanical. A lot of people think doing a 1M conversion is simply bolting up the body work, widening the rear arches and adding m3 wheels, when in reality if you want to do a true 1M conversion with all the suspension, lsd, prop shaft, steering, MDM, etc. it costs significantly more. But again, not everything has to make sense financially with car builds. For a lot of us, myself included, building a car is a true joy and it is about the process and there is an emotional experience with the entire thing. Its about learning, being creative, collaborating and doing something new. The experience of the process is as enjoyable as the outcome. |

You don't need a true 1M conversion to flash, and you don't want a true 1M conversion to race.
But I agree with you, improving/rebuilding a car is joy for us who were lucky enough to be born without financial sense

Very cool set up man. In our opinion if you want power in 600WHP range you are ignoring the best turbo in the GTX line up for 600-640 level, the GTX3076R. This turbo will spool a least 500-700 RPM sooner and support the power levels you are at easily. With the efficiency of our motors with the DI we can see close to the turbo supported crank number at the wheels, so with the GTX3582R, you are running a 750WHP turbo to make 600-650WHP. You always want to go as small of turbo as possible to get you the power you want, the 3076 would give you back a nice little chunk of the midrange. Excited to see what you end up doing with this car.

You would pick up another 500-700RPM and support the same power level you are at now with a GTX3076R. That is THE turbo in the GTX line up for 600WHP

Vargas is working on a belt driven solution that runs inline to the factory accessory belt. Should be out sometime this year I think.

Should be good enough to max out the injectors well north of 700-750whp you seem to be after |

Guys, just an update on the car.
Went out yesterday for a few 27psi runs and blew the turbo. So I'm looking to go gtx4294r and try to make it fit. Should be good up to 950 instead of the 750 on the 3582r that I had... Should be up and running in around 2wks time.. Will update!! |
