hks cast manifold and a gt35?

hi guys,
i am thinking that conbination and i wonder if i will have any issues.
the car:
fd3s 93+

first of all, is the gt 35 bolt on to the hks ccast or do i need any adapter?
are there more than one cast hks for the fd? i am a bit confused. are there for external wg ? divided or undivided?

do anyone of you guys run this combination and can help me with what i need?
any tricks and pros and cons for that combination?
is there any wrightups or how tos for that ?

i am not looking 500rwp. 300-350 i think it is enouth for me. i am interesting for the driveability of the car and fast spuul up.

thanks

hks usually comes with flanges to be more of a general part instead of of a specific part u know?
cause i wanna do the same but with the stainless steel with the stock turbos!
wut you need to do is get the size of the turbo and the manifold. if it fits good on you. if not u r going to to have to get a flange to up or down size.
im doing homework for this mod. ill keep you informed

HKS cast manifold is a T4 and will bolt up and work fine with a GT35 turbo, a adapter will have to be made for the wastegate if you use anything other then a HKS.

I saw that there are many gt35 versions :
Gt35r T4inlet
Gt35r T3inlet
Gt35r
Gt35r T4 style.
if the hks is T4 style i asume that i need the gt35r with t4 inlet?
Can anyone please clear this? All the above have the same compesor outlet?or there are many compresor casings i must choose from?

Witch spools faster the .82 or the 1.06?witch one do you suggest?

Also confused about the flange style. What are diferenses of vband and standard flange? What do you suggest?

I am not concern about 500hp. I want a reliable and fast spool from low rpms. Can you please suggest one?
thanks!!!

The GT35 from Garrett comes with a T3 housing but you can order your turbo from other suppliers that offer a T4 for the GT35, the .82 will spool faster...

Take your pick....

Flange style is the discharge from the exhaust housing, and V-Band will be the easiest route. You will have to buy another v-band flange for your downpipe, and a clamp but you will have no gaskets to worry about. http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant..._Code=ATP-FLS1

I would suggest T4 divided with V-Band for your turbine housing, divided housings give better response on rotaries.

Those are just T3 turbine housings with a T4 footprint...
I have one in my position and can post a photo if you want...

Casting inside is also terrible...

I believe A-Spec is the only place you can get a T4 1.06 turbine housing for the GT35R

hi guys,
if i understand corectly all the 1.06 housings are T3 with T4 flange?what is the diference if the housing is a T4 or T3?
are the housings intercheangeable?
i want fast spool for now and as you said the .82 is the fastest but i have a limit in the power hp.can i start with a .82 and later change it to a 1.00 or 1.06? do i need to change wheels also or modify the exaust?
the 1.00 from turblown is very interesting one!do anyone using it?
thanks!!

It is the 1.0 or 1.15 we were machining to suit the 35R's

We have done 415 RWHP on the .82 and over 450 RWHP on the 1.06. Both on pump gas.
We carry both of those.

http://www.aptuning.net/Garrett_GT35...rt-tbo-006.htm

I just tuned a car today that did 443 RWHP on the 1.06 at 17 psi

Definetly go with the 1.06-Η τουρμπινα θα σου σπασει με το .82 Τ3, εδω σε εμενα δεν κρατησε το Τ3 με 1.06 και φυγανε ολα τα ρουλεμαν μεσ'το καρτερ. Αν θελεις παρε αλλη τουρμπινα-borg warner, υπαρχει σε καλη τιμη εδω.

The 1.06 is undivided though, correct?

I thought one of the big advantages of going single was a stainless relatively thin wall manifold that gets that big "lump" of metal away from the housings. Much better heat dissipation and all that? Why go cast? Is the cost savings significant?

hi,
no it is not the cost. i thought that the cast is more durable.i didn t think that the heat is a problem.
when i made my search many people mension how much durable are the cast manifolds.
thanks

Read Howard Coleman's thread on making the 13BREW reliable - his opinion is that one of the problems is the heat from the cast stock manifold transfers a ton heat to the block. He goes on to taught the advantages of the "A-SPEC" style tubular manifold.

I have not seen a picture of the HKS piece maybe its not an issue.

I have the hks cast manifold and doesn't sit up against the housings like stock does. It's just a short runner cast iron manifold with a t4 divided flange and hks's square wastegate flange. It's a nice piece and is very strong and durable. It looks just like the short runner tubular manifold but it's made of cast iron instead

Definitely a big step up from the stock "lump" then. Any body have a picture?

Similar in what dimensions? Physically? I would think so, only the exhaust housing would be bigger on the 3574.
