I heard a rumour that CAT are not making the C175 engines anymore.....they are crap, and spin bearings at 4,000+ hrs......so they are doing bearing rolls on engines that make it to 4,000 hrs without blowing up...........just a rumour......and they are working on making the 3500 series engines into Common Rail versions......again....just a rumour.

so im looking at turbo gear, thinking if i buy bits here and there over the next 2 years it seems pretty plausible,
so far ive found ebay coolers 600x300 for $300 give or take $50 a piping kit for $160(but its probably cheaper to buy those bits myself because bends and alloy pipe isnt that much? ) looking at wastegates goes over the top of my head  , seems theres alot of cheapo's on here and not sure weather you can cheap out on this bit or weather it needs to be reliable? but they are upwards of $160i was thinking a snort or one of turbo_wills manifold not sure on turbo i was going to use just yet, not sure how far ill ever go with it obviously theres more to look into in the future, but i can get the father inlaw to custom make me some go fast bits if need be, like the exhaust etc.. he does a good job at anything car related

You know what to do and where to look
You are thinking the same thing i am. I just dont want to have to buy the same part twice. I just hate reading the price tags on reliability!  My little list from what ive seen works and is reliable: - 6boost manifold - gt3582 int. w/g or gt4202r with a ~1 rear AR. - turbosmart or 6boost 50mm gate. - Plazmaman cooler (450X450) Theres a few things that i highlighted to myself that must be maintained. - Quick spool (2.5-3k rpm) - Reliable - As fuel efficient as possible off boost - Big torque gains - Must do massive skids I have a feeling you probably want something similar. Its a headfu(k to work out hey!

Its a headfu(k to work out hey! i think anything boosted will do the last thing on your list lol, decent branded waste gates have a massive gap in price between the cheaper ones thats why i thought is there a cheaper option worth using? i know the turbo is a massive reliability part, you dont want that to go bang, same with the gearbox and engine, but we all know how much power we can get away with before we need to build one, or just replace with another wrecker motor

just do buy stuff in a backward order..
first get the manifold, then you know wether to go for a turbo with a t3 or t4 flange and wether your turbo is going to be an internal wastegate or external wastegate.. |

Yeah exactly haha. Reliability is what has stopped me from splurging 800 big ones on a turbo and s**t from da chinaman! I know when it comes to turbos, there is a price difference for a reason. Ive been keeping an eye on ebay in the states for some bargains too. Genuine gt4202r (ball bearing) are just a smidge over $1500 delivered! Then the wastegates are pretty cheap too.
Remember the warping manifold issues some different boys on Boosted were seeing? I cant remember if the manifold was the same for all of them or different. Especially on that gezza_bangalongtime AU build. His manifold was out by a s**t tonne! Might just be high EGT's though. Are you worried about cutting holes for piping? Engineering? I was looking at 450X450 coolers to avoid hacking s**t apart too much. Havent looked enough at it. You looking t56 or 6xT5? We all know the bottom ends are indestructable  Im just going to run my rebuilt NA motor with a massive decomp plate to get down to 8.5ish.I reckon you could easily see 350rwkw with ACL rebuild kit and some lightened rods reliably. And then theres the other 40,000,000,000 f**k parts you need to get the thing to work.... eh....

if i could go without cutting s**t up too much i would,
as for the gearboxes i rekin c4 in the future, id only run enough boost for the t5 to stay in the car and not s**t its guts at half track havent looked too hard into c4's but you can buy them built for 1500 on ebay and they will handle close to 500 hp!! and performance parts are quite cheap for them like shift kits etc.. just need the adapter s**t and a tail shaft to suit, i like the idea of auto better than manual as id like to be F**k fast on the quarter lol. but the manual would be better for circuit or drifting obviously
