Nice work and nice WG placement

Gene

 

Sean, why do you put a flex line on the wg? Shouldnt they move together since they are both connected to the turbo/manifold?

Looks nice Sean. I had the 35/40 with the 1.06 T3 for a while and it spooled great with decent top end. I can only imagine what it would do with a true T4.

 

I know but it took forever to get those turbine housings done over a year and I kept hearing "anyday now" So I blame no-one for not waiting, and please keep us informed about how your progress goes.


Ha! I was hoping you would see it. You were the only guy I spoke to who was aware of placing it there. I could never get it to work right on the short runner manifold like we were discussing. So it had to wait till this turbine setup was finally in my hands. When your ready we will take care of you if you wanna upgrade.


It allows for some movement and expansion. I have seen many without crack on the reroute.

I agree I think it will be real nice even with the larger 1.12 we'll see I have a bunch going out.

 

Gene or Sean would you care to elaborate on the purpose of the wastegate in that position?

Are you guys taking about it being inverted or that the WG exhaust flows in a relatively strait line to the DP? What is the benefit of this?

 

Looks like a great design....I would have been happy to go with one of your 35/40 kits if it wasn't for the Cali smog laws...

 

When will the FC version be ready?

 

I was wanting to get the wastegate away from the DP and tranny for awhile. There is just a lot of heat right in that area. Gene called here awhile back and was working on the same plan. I just couldn't work it into the shorter manifold so it had to wait. Just less stress on the wastegate thats all and yeah it allows for a better aproach angle into the DP as well.

Our lower short runner manifold works with the airpump, combine it with a well done CAI and it would be hard not to think you wouldn't pass.

 

Are you going to offer an external dump kit?

 

However the customer asks either way I can do it.

 

I don't think the testers would buy that the single and that manifold work was OEM....we have both visual and sniffer test here.

Nice work though, it's good to see a company that actually does solid engineering and makes a quality product.....seems like those companies are getting rare these days. Please keep up the good work, I won't be stuck in this state forever and I'll need a single kit at some point....

 

Fc version perhaps? Looking to turbo my n/a...lol

 

if only you guys knew personally how much time Sean puts into his work. he puts alot of R&D into his work, hes always looking to improve products.

 

Is that a 3" downpipe or 3.5" ?

 

can someone help a newb out and explain the benefit of this design over what is currently used?

its much easier then me making some misinformed guesses.

cheers

 

What are you referring to turbo or kit?

 

Both I guess.
If we buy the turbo only, is it extra for v-band ?

 

Turbo comes V-banded. The benefits of the kit were explained above. It has optimum runner length and is equal in length. It runs fully divided, the thought behind it is no cross talk between runners, as well as allowing you to run a larger turbine housing and still get the same response as a smaller one which equates to a broader powerband. ie. more flow up top but still quick spool of smaller turbine housing. Hope that helps.

 

anyone have any price ideas on this turbo/kit?

 

So is the v-band 3" or 3.5" ? What size is your downpipe ?
I know you make quality manifold, just wondering what size v-band the turbo has. I've already gotten my T4 manifold and am looking to buy the turbo only. But now after seeing the pics, I may just as well buy the whole kit. Still considering...

 

DP is 3" I'm sure we could make something if you wanted more but I really don't see the need. I would say call for a price. I would say call or email for pricing.

 

Yes As A - Spec Does Make Some Of The Coolest Manifolds Around **** Just Look At That **** And Damn Does It Puts The Power Down !!!!!

 

Very nice work man....but when will the FC version be available and price?

 

GT35 and GT35R have different compressors.

For comparison:
GT35:
wheel dia=76
trim=52
A/R=.50

GT35R:
wheel dia=82
trim=56
A/R=.70

You can also buy a GT35R compressor without a ball bearing center section-I have been running this setup for about a year now and am very happy with it. Therefore, 'R' does not refer simply to the center section type.

 

You can buy just about any combo of wheels, however Garrett uses the "R" to refer to BB. I can get you a wheel diameter of 88 on a GT35R if you were interested but it wouldn't be ideal.

The first two positions are always GT.
Position “X” is used to indicate a revision to an original “GT” series turbocharger. The original GT turbocharger will never use position “X”, only in revisions thereafter.

Position “aa” designate the turbine size and bearing system. “GTaa” is referred to as the “Base Model Number”.

Position “bb” designate the compressor wheel diameter in millimeters. Compressor wheels with diameters larger than 100 millimeters only the last two digits will be used.

Positions “cccc” may be used to designate special features of a particular turbocharger.

Not all four positions are required to be used.
Some of these designators are as follows:
“B” Boreless
“D” Dual Passage Bypass (Wastegate)
“F” Carbon Seal (Compressor Side)
“G” Compressor Recirculation Valve
“L” Water Cooled Center Housing
“N” Ported Shroud Compressor
“R” Ball Bearing
“S” Single Passage Bypass (Wastegate)
“V” Muti Vane Variable Geometry Turbine
“W” Water Cooled Turbine Housing

There are some exeptions but very few. Usually when the sizes or designators don't match up it means something has been either made purposely(ie optioned) that way or rebuilt with what was available. Hope that was informative to someone.
