Suman,

dont waist your time. If your going to upgrade from the 700 go to the 800. I might do this, but first I am going to drive a 800 car first. You should get a ride in a 750/800 car first. Just remember the 700 kit has really no lag and the higher kits do. So before your shell out the $$$ make sure its what you want.

just my 2 cents

Dont the GT700s and the GT800 both use the same garrett GT30R turbos( k16 housings)?
If so then the lag should be the same?

 

Mark, arent the R turbos BB centers... the GT kits dont have BB's do they? Kevin

 

yes.... the GT turbos from Evoms are ball bearing...
IF one does a 700/800 set up I would rather just throw on a set of GT30Rs and get the custom headers/exhaust.... it would be cheaper to do it. A gt30r with a 4 bolt exhaust housing is $1000. headers $2500(custom). Custom exhaust may run you $2200.
just my opinion...

 

My understanding is that you will need stronger rods with anything over 70HP?

 

Actually 80HP is where you need rods... Just kidding.Evo suggests rods at 700, but Scott ran Proto 700 on stock internals. Kevin

 

Most of the GT700 evoms cars are on stock motors...
I have been told by a handful of tuners that 650 rwhp is the max for the stock rods...

 

The 700 uses a 28/16 hybrid compressor and the 800 uses a gt30r.The 800 has much more lag than a 700.The 700 has instantaneous boost whereas with the 800 you learn to drive around above 3500rpm.

 

So the stock internals are good for 650 rwhp?

 

Ok after all of this since no one answred my question sI went to tthe ***** mouth Ill gain about 20 whp and 30 lb torque wheel to the pump and race program. Good enough for me. I will be running the gt750 on stock internals. Ill et you know how I do but Im sure 615 pump and 660 race are gonna be fine. If I blow something my car iwll be at Imagine the next week. keep y'all updated.

Suman,

the 700 uses gt28 and 750/800 uses gt30's. So more lag w 750/800 kits. Who is crazy enough to sell you a 750/800 without a engine build? I know evo will not! Please let me know, i'm very interested to find out.

I think he's doing a race gas program for the 700.Atleast that's what it sounds like from the numbers he posted.

 

thats what 4 engine builders told me....

 

guys go to imagine auto's website. the GT750 is the same turbos(as the gt700) the only difference is the throttle body and y-pipe plus an ECU upgrade. the upgrade is only 3500 dollars and will give me a marginal amount of power. I put down 640 whp on race program of my gt700 kit.
