Hey everyone,

I have ordered a T04E (turbonetics) and have the following:

HKS race wastegate
race blow-offs (not usre of manufacturer)
850 primary 1600 secondaries
upgraded fuel pump + regulator
3" downpipe, midpipe, and catback
twin-power ignition box
custom cold-air intake
koyo rad
custom FMIC (spearco core)
Apexi FC + commander
Blitz SBC-id boost controller

Engine:
street-ported
3mm seals
lower-compression rotors (8.5:1)
balanced

So my question is, what kind of driving characteristics will a set-up such as this provide? I know much is dependent upon tuning, but assume the set-up is tuned well. My goal was to have a quick-spooling, responsive car with no temp problems. I have talked to a few ppl regarding the T04E but no one has given me there own opinion of owning/driving a car with this turbo. If you guys can give your opinions it would be much appreciated. Thx everyone!

 

I have a T04e TII...The turbo spool realy depends on the rest of the parts... Who built your motor? Who ported it?..
A tight well ported motor does spool it far quicker than a slug motor..
What manifold is it on? divided or undivided, cast or tubular stainless? ..
What exhuast a/r? what wheel trim...I have the 1.15 ptrim exhuast on it, almost spools like stock with my setup..Max

 

I have never understood the meaning of trim, and the different housing sizes and so forth. I'm also unsure whether the manifold is divided/undivided. It was custom made. The manifold is stainless though. The engine was also built by a really good expert and feels tight. What kinda' set-up you running Max? What kinda' power you making? BTW that's a sweet looking ride!
