Is anyone runing N2O from haltech with turbo? Few setup ?'s

I am building for 500whp minimum on daily driver and have a few setups in mind. Does anyone run one of these and how is it working for you?

One setup is a GT35R-T4s and spray a 100 to 200 shot wet with alcohol injection. I really want to know peoples experience with this.

Another setup is a GT40R with alcohol injection.

Next one is a HT51R or GT42R and shrinking hot side to like .86 to combat lag with alcohol injection.

How do the tuners feel about tuning these setups?

I am willing to live with the gt40R lag but I feel I may lose some races that don’t last 10 miles long to people with smaller turbos. I am at sea level.

Lag shouldn't be a problem with spray.

It is as capable as any motor. I just need to have more info on how to run the setup with N2O. Should the haltech control it should it just run as normal and so on so I know how to wire it for my tuner. Will it over flow the 35R and so on.

haltech won't control it...it will arm the system.

careful with your apex seal selection.

BTW, you can get 500rwhp with just a turbo that isn't laggy.

be very careful when you run nos for a couple of things
1. as dublup said make sure your running the right apex seals or they will get jacked up
2. make sure you pay attention to your f^%%^ tac cus it is real easy to not notice redlining, i mean i am up to 8k rpm and didnt even notice cus it was so smooth!

Yup, A-spec's GT35RS\500R or the AF61r\John Deere special!

What apex seals do people usually run with nos? 3mm?

I'm going to have to agree with the "no N2O" idea. With the A-Spec 500R or the AF61R you can hit 500whp and still have great spool up. And with alcohol injection you shouldn't have any problems keeping it reliable on pump gas.

I have one prob right now. The Car is RHD and A-spec does not want to seem to sell the 35RT4s outside of a kit. The kit won’t fit with my steering arm. So I am looking at a custom manifold with 4in if possible if not 3.5in DP on a Gt40R 1.06AR. So now I have some more lag. Looking at a staged 50shot wet and if I don’t like it bump to 100. Use a WOT system on am manual switch input into the haltech auxiliary so it knows when it’s alive. With Alcohol injection of course.

The people who are far more experienced I am looking forward to the input and loving what I have gotten thank you all!

Also to take the added instant stress of the N20 looking at RA or RS 2mm seals. How’s the group feel on this choice? Should I really spring for ceramic?

A-Spec announced that they are working on a manifold that will allow RHD 7's to run their kits. But I can't remember how long of a wait it was going to be on that. You might want to call Sean and talk to him about that.

RA says no N20 with their seals...

you can always weld whatever v-band size flange on a turbine housing...might turn out cheaper to build your own turbo...I did, and it was dirt cheap.

step1

step2

step3

step4
