Finally I got the RPM GT3540 kit installed. I am currently running about 7lbs of boost, as I am breaking my motor in [had about 3k on it before single was installed]. I will install Greddy Profec B as soon as it arrives and will head down to KDR for some dyno tuning.

My first impressions of the kit are quiet impressive. With my stock port motor, this thing sees 7lbs at about 2200-2500rpms at WOT 4th gear. Don't quote me on that since its so hard to keep an eye on the boost guage and tach at the same time. Dyno data will point more specific details as soon as I get the car to KDR.

My current setup is as follows:
Stock port Jspec shortblock
RPM gt3540 dual bb single
550cc primaries, 1600cc secondaries
K2RD secondary rail
SX RRFPR
Greddy 2 row FMIC
Pettit resonated midpipe
HKS carbon Ti catback
Unorthodox underdrive pullies
Walbro GSS351 intank
Apexi PFC
Tial BOV
Greddy Profec B [waiting for arrival]

I may have missed some details, but you guys have the idea.

 

Some more pics.

 

Some more.

 

How do you restrict the amount of oil fed to the turbo? Since it's bb, it needs a lot less oil than stock.

 

i think the oil feed line provided in the kit from RPM has a restrictor fitting. dont quote me on that though. i will find out from my supplier regarding details ..

 

That is $%&*# bad ***! Nice job! Do you have a link to the RPM site? What did the kit run you?

EDIT:


I just saw their website again. Did they raise their prices for the Haltech E6K?

Some of my TurboFB (1st Gen) friends got quotes of $880ish for the same crap that they are now Selling for $1190.

Is it 1190 in AUSTRALIAN Dollars? Or did they just decide to have the same prices we could get in the US?

 

I guess they couldn't keep their prices so damn low. They couldn't have been making much money selling them so cheaply...

 

Sweet, I'm going to have basically the same setup except monster street ported motor with 3mm hurley race seals.

 

yep i got the same plans cant wait till i get money. What intercooler pipes are those. cant wait to see the dyno numbers. Marc

 

I have the same kit. should be here any day now. That is awsome. Looks very nice. Tim is a very easy guy to deal with.

3k miles and you are still on the break-in schedule?

C'mon, we want to and MUST see a dyno sheet



BTW, Tim just finished seven GT3540 kits for A-Spec tuning, so there should be a few more of these kits running in the streets soon.

 

That kit is sweet! Can't wait to see the dyno numbers.

 

That's beautiful!!! I'm just waiting for mine to get in. I hope I'm one of the seven.

 

I just spoke to Sean at A-Spec. The kits are sitting at the airport (O'hare?) waiting to clear customs...after that i get one.

 

when can we see the dyno result?

 

Just got positive confirmation that I'm one of the seven waiting in customs. I'm just going to have to wait for the dp to get ceramic coated though. No biggie since it will take about 2 weeks for my motor to be ready. I hope that this thing is every bit as good as the hype is getting. Any body with any clue on what this thing can do at about 20# with an agressive street port and all the bolt on? Take a loot at my sig and tell me what ballpark I should be looking at.

 

Tim quoted me $1190 for the fully terminated harness, with sensors, connectors, yadda yadda.

He has quoted me $780 USD for simply the flying loom, EMS, manual/software... You supply the rest.

 

So, what's it like to drive? Does it spool up as fast as advertised?

 

when you gonna dyno it?

 

Hey Jehan...I just got back from some dyno tuning on a friends T04S the last couple days...

Your GOING to need more fuel...hit me up on AIM man...

 

email me brad. rotaryunique@aol.com

 

wow!!!! that is nice as ****!!! can't wait until my arrives.

40oz, what engine mangement are you running??

 

The oil restriction is in the CHRA.
I talked with Tim on restricting oil if you're using anything larger than -6 oil lines.

I just got my GT35/40 today. It's pretty sweet!
You can blow on the compressor wheel and it'll spin pretty freely.
The polishing is nice, but there are a few spots that weren't done (I'm not complaining!).

I'm still waiting on my heatshield and adapter flange since I'm using it on my old single set-up.

I'm anxious to hear the results from 40oz's dyno.
It'll be around a week before I'm running mine (more parts, welding downpipe, etc).

Nice install btw!

40 OZ,

What manifold are you using?
