No more tiny turbo!

[thespeedfactory]

Here is the old and new. Car is at exhaust right now getting 3" straight pipe turbo back. I finally have a good lead on a Dyno yere on Okinawa so I might get lucky and have some numbers by the 28th of Aug. Thanks for all the support.

i'd say theres a pretty nice difference between the two!

what turbo is that?

[rundatrack]

Should get full boost around 3.5k right?

Looks good

[quote=MRMARSH;10253608]what turbo is that?

Garrett T4/60-1 hybrid T4 footprint, p-trim exhaust wheel, .69 A/R hot side, oil cooled CHRA, 60-1 compressor wheel, .70 cold side, Garrett m24 cast, 4" inlet and 2.5 outlet.

[quote=rundatrack;10253711]Should get full boost around 3.5k right?

Should spool at 2500-2800 and have full boost at around 3800 or so. Hopefully!

Hell of alot better than the crappy T0457!:evil2

Nice upgrade. Turbo is still too small though. You should try a GT4088R.

I have 3/8 inch from my compressor housing to my head. As soon as someone sponsors a 666 manifold I can go bigger. Righ now this is the absolute biggest I can go. If I make a 3" neck to clear the head I wont be able to close the hood.

I was just thinking this while looking at the under hood picture. Looks like the new snail will hardly fit.. hopefully no melting.

Good luck! Get that sucker on a dyno, and to a 400m dash!


edit: Just realized there's no plastic engine cover like on the E36... nevermind about the melting i suppose.
