this motherfather is huuuge. MP GT45 turbo, HKS 50mm wastegate, "unknown" exhaust manifold and a greddy type R bov. all for 730 bucks shipped

whatdyall think?

 

Awesome man. It does look big... what kind of mods did you have to do for this?

 

looks like the FD ebay manifold, but don't worry it will be fine. BUT have you checked your clearance for the LIM? you may need a spacer.

 

im building the car from the ground up, so its not really an upgrade per say. Im going to run a 4" single exit turbo back exhaust, custom front mount, most likely a KG parts fuel system with 1000cc/1600cc injectors, Alky injection, and a haltech setup. Im a long way from finishing, there are many other supporting mods i would do, The only reason I jumped on the turbo is because i got it for so cheap. otherwise i would have just done a standard T2 swap and upgraded from there.

 

yeah it is a FD manifold. I wont know about fitment untill i get my s5 Manifold in the mail. should be here this week sometime.

 

keep us updated on how that turbo behaves they always get a bum wrap from people that dont own them..... lets see how they do.

 

...and a bridgeport to spool that turbo before 6000 RPM?

 

biscuit you may be thinking of "XS POWER", not Master POWER. biiiiiiiiiiiig difference. people are having great success with Master Power turbo's including me

 

its on the list. im going to run the stock port S4 t2 engine i have, untill it blows up, or i can score a used T2 engine and rebuild it, ported etc.

 

I don't think stock ports will do **** with that turbo...

You probably want at the least a half-bridge on the secondaries...

 

im gonna full bridge. i just dont want to tear down a perfectly good engine :o it would make sense though. instead of potentially ruining a housing if it were to blow. depends on my budget, and if i sell my motorcycle.

 

very nice, i'm curious to know how that manifold turns out. I'm interested in it just because they are cheap but I really don't like SSAC stuf. I had a ssac mani for my old stock turbo and I warped the flange and cracked it. The warp was bad, like the flange had over .065 variance across the sealing surface. But I've heard that the FD mani's are ok

 

the flanges on the manifold are 1/2 inch thick, its going to take allot to warp it. I hope

 

I swear by it...im a trendsetter! It is a fun turbo btw. Im hitting the dynoo in like 3 weeks, no alchy yet though...my PR trip is worth more!

 

BTW, you will need a full BP. That is unless you like getting 4psi at 6k. I switched to Full BP for this one

 

I had the "newer" style mani when I had it. The flanges were like a half inch thick and they still warped like crazy. Just be careful with it

 

yeah. in a perfect world i would have a ceramic coated turblown manifold. Im going to give this one a shot, hope for the best but expect the worst.

 

Probably not the best idea. You'll never make boost, and if you do blow the engine you could damage the turbine with apex seal chunks...

 

yeah, what makes the most sense, is doing a tear down, bridgeport, rebuild. before i damage a housing or such.

 

what doesn't make sense is running that turbo on a stock port. I run this turbo on my full bridge and it still shows signs of lag...but, to each his own..enjoy.

 

20b!!!!!!

 

where does it spool with your full bridge?

 

about 4300-4500rpm.

 

hey slammed what size is your hot side

 

sweet thats perfect. full bridgeport it is!
