Anyone here using hinsons 20b subframe. What is fitment like and have you driven the car to feel bumpsteer. ( noticable or not )

 

I have this mounted on my 20B. Fitment is good and allows clearence of the hood. We're about to fire up the car hopefully next week, so I'll have a better idea of bumpsteer for you later. You will likely have to alter the 20B mounts a little to shift the engine to the driver's side in order to get a little more clearence on the passenger side for turbo fitting. So far, though, I like what the subframe is providing.

How do you mean alter. Is this complicated or a matter of notching.
Please keep me posted about the bump. I plan on using there sub.

 

You just need to notch the 20B brackets a little. I'll give you a yell as soon as we hit the road.

Sounds great. Im just gathering parts right now. What turbo and ecu do you run. Is your motor ported. So far I only have my 20b and am looking to have it gone through with a street port. I also have a t-66 p trim with a .96 ar housing. What do you think about this turbo. Im wanting to build 550 on pump gas.

 

Are you building the motor first? If so it will be to small, even on the stock ports it will spool like crazy.

 

that was my plan. I thought I would go through it and port before I did anything else but I am new to the 20b so maybe its not necessary to do this for the power level I am wanting to build. Please recomend a turbo for my setup. I also have a 72mm with the GTS wheel maybe that would be a better choice. Please give me some advice. By the way I want 550 on pump gas.

 

Have you goteen your car on the road yet. i dont know if I want to buy a subframe or do the 13b rear iron and lower the LIM? Anyone else doing a subframe?

 

We're down to the computer hook up and the retro fit of the AC and we should be ready to run and test the Hinson frame. I'm hoping to be up and running within two weeks.

 

that 72mm should yield you the HP your looking for, even though I still have stock ports I'm putting my system together for after the motor is built I'm using a Garrett T76 big shaft with a 1.32 A/R

 

any updates?
