Ok basically I got a 13b-re pulling 8.7-8.8 on all faces so i dont want to tear down to pull out the exhaust sleaves to replace with fd sleaves. The intake ports are already huge. Turbo is a gt42 with .6 ar. Here are pictures of the ports and the turbo

 

btw turbo is 9inches in diameter

 

^ DAYUM! Really, I don't know, I just like looking at the turbo

 

It will definitly spool that turbo. I would worry more about how to fit that bad boy in the engine bay.

 

so stock ports will spool it?!

 

Here is pic of runners on manifold.

 

Wow, awesome, thats huge.

Did you get another FD?...I liked your previous car, what plans do you have with this one?

 

Same car, different motor.. I was going to put a 20b in but I just dont have the time to fabricate some of the stuff needed.

 

I'm all in favor of large turbos and think lag is overrated but that ain't no .6ar turbine......does the compressor wheel and turbine wheel measure up to gt42specs?

 

did you get that turbo on ebay?

 

yep, ebay. Stevekan said it was a gt42.

 

I guess I was bidding against you than. I was second highest bidder

 

lol actually the guy who won bid didnt get it either, i sent him money to close the auction and had him close it early.

 

 

Mind posting how mucn you paid ? , I am thinking of selling my TA51 and was wandering how much to ask for it .

 

Oh damn, I was looking at that turbo on ebay too, but it almost looked too big. Too big??? what am I saying???

 

Good to hear, can't wait to see it, when its done.

 

damn how much hp are u pushing on that beast ?

 

none yet, havt got it all together

 

Yes it can spool it, and thats not a GT42. But will make good power.

 

That's a GT42, plain bearing I believe, not the BB CHRA. I've held an identical turbo in my hands. The exhaust sleeves have those restrictors in there which won't help the spool situation any. Let us know how it works out! The biggest issue will be the 5" v-band discharge and reworking the turbine housing.

 

Yes, it is the same frame turbo and they do share some components, but it's not a GT42.

 

And how exactly do you know this looking at a photograph?
