......best bet for a 10 second car..........sell the gp and buy 1

Alright guys thanks for everyone who helped. I'll see what happens and keep it posted. Once I get the turbo i'll post pics. If you have any other suggestions feel free to post up. The only problem is figuring what turbo to get because with the kit there are like 3 different ones.

Ok. So here is a small list of what is done to ZZPs 9 second drag car that has been COMPLETELY stripped down.

And here is a compilation of parts you will need to support that TT build. Mind you, I didn't include any gaskets, or a race tranny, and the actual turbo set-up will probably be 1-2k more than that set-up in the list. Also didn't grab suspension stuff, slicks and wheels, and I'm sure a bunch of other things.

EDIT: I forgot forged pistons, rods, and crank, along with a better balancer.

Oh, and the CAI you bought? You won't need it anymore, because the intake will be rplaced by the turbo charge pipes.

I enjoy my car every time I get in and turn that beast over.

And I personally, am going to GLD for like the 7th time this season to hopefully break into the 13s.

I'd like the idea of a twin turbo'ed gp... Be fun as hell to drive if you could get it working correctly.

Gotta wonder about the drivablility of a TT GP though?

You have to do soooo much modding to be able to use that, I don't even know if you could drive that vehicle as a DD.

If you can get that Turbo build done right, I would say a lot of great tuning will keep you happy. Just don't cut corners and make sure you have that thing on and working properly before you go nuts.

Buddy in local club had an 04-05 gt and he turboed it. He didn't have it tuned right. I don't know the Turbo he had, but right before he sold it, he blew the trans, What he upgraded in the trans was: thicker chain, a ZZP 3k converter, hardened input shaft, and HD differential. Just some info for your turbo setup.

I'm ordering the kit friday. I might have to get a Daily Driver because my car is gonna be down for a little while. I'm not gonna risk driving it until I have made sure its not gonna break on me. I only have so much money and I need to do it right. I wish it was a little easier though.

One other thing. I was told you cant use a CAI with a turbocharger because there won't be any room. Is there any ways around this?

Don honestly i hope your haveing zzp install that turbo.
not to be a dicK but it really sounds like you dont know a monkey wrench from a tow strap

and if you do do the turbo and dont get a good tune on your car very quick your asking for big trouble.

take this from someone who is on their 3ed engine.....

I do all my own work( cept the tranny) and if u dont have a garage and tools and alot of know how your gonna be in for many problems.

good luck with your build and get some picts up quick!!

and go ahead and sell that cai its worthless with the turbo

You can USE a CAI with a turbo set-up, but you will need to fabricate a whole new intake set up.

Are you even sure how a turbo works?

Honestly, if you've got this kind of money, I think you should spend it on paintball stuff, it's obviously your favorite hobby.

With 10k and some land, you could easily set-up a small field for friends. Heck, wait long enough you could probably start your OWN field.

I'm not much of a field baller myself, more into the milsim stuff. My gun would make you laugh. Lemme see if I can find a pic...



That's a pic I made before I bought the parts. Looks very much like it, minus the scope and the bipod. I ordered the bi-pod in April and I never got it. Cost $40 too.

lol... a 98 custom. everyones first gun... i had one... i actually think i still have it, but i do the speedball thing now, more of a rush

Don, are you planning on installing this?

you guys are retarted lol. I'm a professional paintball player. I play for a team called chicago farside. They were on the espn paintball series last year but i didn't play for them then. I don't pay for anything though. I get everything paid for for me. And god no i'm not putting that crap in myself. I'm gonna drive up to michigan and have it installed. Family lives there so its a two fer.
