alright so i yanked my motor out of my car to get rebuilt. As it stands it has the stock turbos rebuilt, aspec 450r fuel system kit (with 850 primary 1600 secondary), apexi ecu, and a bunch of other stuff. The turbos were rebuilt 9k miles ago. I read that rebuilt turbos don't like to last long.. and since i have the motor out i was thinking of going to a gt35r single. The car is daily driven and will be tracked... most likely not autocrossed to much. What you guys thing? good or bad idea?

 

If you have the cash for it, sure why not...

 

good! less weight, less complex, less heat, more reliable and more power. only thing you will loose is some response.

 

i am in the middle of gt35 upgrade...

some numbers for u on stock motor
374whp & 304ft/lbs at 15psi on a dynapack dyno

if you looking for response go with t04s turbo 18psi around 3700rpm this turbo is used in feed fd3s and go with v mount intercooler

i say if u got your motor out for rebuilt do a street port that should help response

 

do they sell a kit that comes with everything and i mean everything,? looked at the kits on rx7store but not sure if they come with everything i would need.

 

I've got similar upgrades (850cc primaries, 1600cc secondaries, street port, radiator) and I was looking prety hard at the GT 35R turbo kit. I may end uo with the GT 40R, though. I would like to hit over 500hp since I put all th time and money into that fuel system upgrade. I feel the 850/1600cc is overkill for a GT 35.

 

No kit includes everything. Most, if not all, will need to have the IC piping from the turbo to the IC fabricated, the rest of the stuff you need will be in the kit.

 

Yea the motor I have is pretty aggressivly ported. I have a front mount, still debating on a v mount

 

well besides fabbing up the ic piping from the turbo i mean, oil lines and what not come with it? i don't know much about single turbos yet so im not sure.

 

If your worried about boost response I am selling a low mi Apex'i RX-6 single kit. Spools almost as fast as twins and is capable of over 400whp on pump. PM me if your interested.

More on topic, definitly go single. Thats my opinion anyways, its way less complex, the power band is linear and the power gains are sweet. You will want one down the road so just save yourself the hassle and do it now.

 

Yes they do, unless they say they don't.

I agree about the RX-6 kit. And as far as single goes, don't half *** it. Do it right the first time. You'll save yourself time, headaches, and LOTS of MONEY.

 

That term " kit" is a pretty loose word in the turbo world. Most places are just selling a turbo manifold, wastegate, turbo, cooling lines, an air filter and calling it a kit. The only place I know of that will build you everything, and I mean everything, full exhaust system, complete intercooler, fuel system etc is the guys over at turblown.net. Thats what they did for me...

 

well, all i know i would need is the fuel system. i got the exhaust and ic done, i know 1300s wont really do much for single turbos so thats why i would have to upgrade it.. already got fuel pump also.. i got i believe almost all bolt ons.

 

turbo still for sale, is it the kit ,or just the turbo
