Hey guys,
First of all im kinda interested to know what the largest turbo someone with a TII swap in a FB has ran with a HKS cast turbo manifold.

The reason im asking is because my project is progressing and I may have just found the parts I need to make the car over the top. A local rotary guy is selling his dyno proven 460rwhp setup, T78 turbo on a freshily rebuilt TII. I may have to jump on this, make my car a real crazy machine.

i would love to see this done

 

I am not sure on the specifics of the T78 frame. But I am running a AF61 on a HKS cast manifold made for a FD. I am also not exactly sure what the differences between the FD and FC manifold are.

I have about 3/4"-1" between my turbo and the inner fender.

If you do get a "proven" setup make sure that you either get the stand-alone and or the map. I can assure you that this will save tons of money and time.

Here are a couple pictures of my turbo.

 

a t78 is similar in size... it will fit.

like z said, it was proven in his car with all his supporting pieces. as long as you get EVERYTHING then you'll be all good.

 

HOLY CRAP!!!

That thing is HUGE!!!!!

BTW: What do you think about the new DP cans? I dont like them.

I also used to like Mr. Pibb, in those cool angled cans remember!

 

Good news, ill have to sit down next weekend with the seller and figure something out. Going to be one fricking fast car, everything is just so expensive...

 

a t78 turbo is extremly laggy for street driving.. remember,, a very useable 400 hp is better than a peaky 500 hp, for the street that is...

 

This is my 13B-REW with a T78 on a custom manifold, with 48mm wastegate.



Unfortunately the turbo hits the inner fender in this shot, so I need to change the manifold somewhat. Shouldn't be too hard from what I can see.

 

Holy ****. Those are some massive turbos.

I am with Robert on this one though. A not-so-laggy 400 horsepower would be tons better in street use than a high rev, lag oriented 500 horsepower in street use. But then again I have no idea in the least as to what you are going to be using this car for.

 

HAHAHA my buddy drinks the Dr. Pepper. Jon, nice to see another REW in a FB.

 

Beautiful cars fellas!!! A 78 can be laggy. Tuning, and AR size helps a bunch....Good luck

 

GT35R T4 1.0 A/R here... made 300 rwhp@5k.. Re-Dyno this saturrday..

 

thats a quick spooling turbo, not too big, great for street driving! nice choice gonzz

 

Same turbo that a local RX-7 guy was also recommending I get, how does the GT35R compare with a 60-1?

 

if you are going to rock a GT series turbo then get on the waiting list for A-specs GT500R.... which so oddly is about the same as a what?? T66!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!

i say get a T-66 for the best compromise in big power on low boost with less lag.

if you want 500rwhp just get a tune for some good ol' c16 WOOWOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

I have always wondered why most Australian 1st gen turbo setups all have the wastegate forward on the manifold. I bought mine from Australia also and it's the same thing.. Is their any benifit for having it like this? I know the steering box is on the same side on the RHD cars. Maybe that is the reason? I have attached a few pics to show what I mean..
