Here is a pic of the Little GT-42R. Its in the car and almost ready for action!<P>

 

Is it me or this turbo is bigger that the upper intake

 

Maybe you should mount the motor on the side and the turbo in the center

 

Its bigger! Fittment was an issue but sean at aspec waved his magic
wand and this is where it landed. We are in the process of casting
a new mid manifold with 4 injector bosses and equal length runners,
so when the maniflod is finished we will be able to run 4X1600 secondaries which we will need!!!! We will post dynoruns after the
ugraded manifold is done approx 2weeks. Ralph Thx Sean!!!!

 

Holy S***!!! That thing is huge. Can't wait to see some numbers.

 

We want number!!!! Good luck with getting it running. And boy, that is one BIG turbo.

 

holy ****...how much rwhp are you expecting?

 

Is that the 56 trim wheel? What rwhp you going for at what boost? Something like 500-600?

 

About time you put a real turbo in it Ralph !

 

Hey rice I can put my whole arm thru the exhast housing and 4inch down pipe up to my shoulder. New pans are done, Ill try to send you a picture again, were making a run of 30.

 

you should actually be running a 5" downpipe with that turbo.

 

We changed the outlet of the housing to fit for street use, 5inch just would not fit. We still have the air conditioning and power steering working in this car!

 

Dont you think thas a little xcessive? lol

 

They could fit a 4.5 " DP, 5" wouldn't fit with the way everything had to be positioned, it could of fit but would be horribly tight and it's tight enough already.

 

Sean , its bitchen isnt it. We hope to get 35-40 psi out of it. Your work is really good, especially the fitment. Thx Ralph

 

How bad is the lag going to be????????????

like 6k u get boost or start to build boost???!!

my god thats HUGE

 

siiiiiick

 

you'll be very surprised how fast it will spool up.
The GT42 is a very serious turbo.

 

What rwhp are u guys hoping for?

 

really? how fast are we talking here? faster than a T78 would spool? about the same?....

im trying to figure out what single turbo i want so this info helps....

 

Ralph quit making me sound better than I am ,
and I see no reason you can't get that boost out of it.

 

The GT turbos have larger housings - the wheels themselves aren't necessarily that big. Don't confuse a large compressor housing with a large wheel.

 

Compressor wheels on the 42R are 94mm and 102mm, I wouldn't call them small either. Both are pretty mutch the same as a T51 KIA and SPL, only they are both BB, and both are slightly higher rated.

 

is that a custom manifold.do u have any pics of just the manifold.

whats your fuel system setup?

 

We have a fully loaded street car with stock flywheel, 530 gears, kazz lsd and hopefully big enough *****.It should spool pretty good and if it doesnt the owner said he would put the turbo, where the sun doesnt shine.Our biggest problem is fuel supply, were running 4Xbosch pumps
for quiteness and going to run 2X850 and 4X1600cc injectors. This car is sick, its running 345-25-Zr20s Pzeros on back with I forged 20s all
around. Ill post some pics when the fittment is don. The only thing missing is a radar detector. Ralph
