My new turbo arrived today!

[cdorhout]

Here are some pics of my new turbo that I got from horsepowerinabox.com (Australia)

GT3037R





As you can see, it uses the stock downpipe downpipe flange and a bigger internal gate.

This turbo, combined with my new downpipe, should be a pretty sweet "bolt-in" combination.



I was assured it doesn't hit the manifold when bolted on.Oil line banjo bolt bolts right up.Water lines do not bolt up however, but hpinabox also supplied me with the necessary braided water lines to replace the stock hard lines.

It will take me a while to get it installed and tuned since i'm gonna be moving soon. But it should be interesting.

looks freak bad. what kind of power you looking for

[Bronze MFP]

oh yeah, you'll be making mad powaz with that thing. wish i could see the pics at work here. guess i'll have to wait to drool until I get home.

whatever you do, don't listen to carl h's advice to make power out of it

[Roger_cha]

nice turbo... big *** one too... let us knoe how it turns out... hope you dont blow ur motor

[Sil240]

Bro isn't that Downpipe/Turbo outlet designed for the stock turbo and stock Mani???

Or is that pipe custom for your setup??

Looks badass though!!!

Roger_cha- What's your last name???Tried emailing you, but doesn't [email protected]

[cdorhout]

My power goal right now is gonna be based around my stock headgasket. Hopefully close to 400whp. We'll see in a couple months once it's all tuned.

Not gonna blow the motor, I have all the other necessary parts already in: 550cc injectors, PowerFC, professional tune by Steve Kan once it's all installed.

[cdorhout]

Bro isn't that Downpipe/Turbo outlet designed for the stock turbo and stock Mani???

Yes it is, and this turbo bolts up just like the stock turbo, that's the beauty of it. I'm running stock mani.

[Roger_cha]

thats good then.... with that turbo its a risk but since you have all the other parts for it then your set to smoke alot of hondas

[Logan76]

What size injectors are you running? what are you tuning with? and what are your horsepower goals?

[Roger_cha]

hehehehehehehe well let me give you a hint read the post first before asken a question............ he just post it....

[Sil240]

Really thats hot!How much was that setup??When are you supposed to start spooling, and hit full boost?

[Logan76]

My bad, I just read the original post, that should rip pretty good.

[cdorhout]

When are you supposed to start spooling, and hit full boost?

Well... I'm not sure exactly because I don't know anybody running this turbo/mani/downpipe combo.

But the compressor map looks very nice and fat through the 18-20psi range where I plan to run it.

I'll find out I guess....

[Sil240]

Bro one word

VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!

[rb26tommy]

yeah i agree VIDEOS!!!!!!

[Carl H]

im not sure how well the am performance dp will work with that turbo since the turbine wheel and outlet are a good deal bigger than the std bits.you might have to cut off the sealing tube and weld in a divider...

[Spazz]

i need to take a trip down to des moines iowa, you and darius have some sick rides man...

[Darius]

OMG I've got severe compressor-envy. Looks like I'll have to take one for the team and be camera man for this infamous video.

I'll help you put some solid subframe bushings in too when I get my car running and out of the gat-damn garage one of these days.

Spazz - we should definitely hook up this summer either in Des Moines or up by you for some twisty river-valley roads.

[cdorhout]

you might have to cut off the sealing tube and weld in a divider...

Yes Carl, you are right. I'm already planning on modding that DP a little to make it work. It won't require a whole lot of modification to make it work.

i need to take a trip down to des moines iowa, you and darius have some sick rides man...

yeah definately. I hope we can get some sort of meet together this spring. Maybe at Cedar Falls Raceway or something.

[Joe]

WOW I was considering this turbo for a while, Im very interested to see your dyno sheets!!!

and I want that nismo coilpack cover!! haha

[Spazz]

im down , cept i work 3 days from sat- mon. you guys should come up when HIN makes its way to the twin cities!-sorry to jack ur thread cdor

I'd worry equally about the rings... check out Fito's ride (should find it in a search not sure if the SN is right though)

Very nice though... keep up the good work!

[jobestudios]

Yeah, I wanna see the dyno plot!

[Chaos the Xile]

I'm with Kamin... where did you get that NISMO coilpak cover?

[Tripz]

I'm assuming he got it with the gb along with that turbo elbow/downpipe combo. I was part of the GB and the last NISMO one was sold, so Ande made me a another one letting me choose a color of my choice (I chose black since it blends well with any other color). I believe they go for 110 plus tax for the coilpack covers.

Also, cdorhout let me know how that turbo/manifold/turboelbow combo work for you, I'm very interested on that set up.

[cdorhout]

Yeah, that's right. It came free with that downpipe from AM Performance. Part of the group buy deal.

I've since powder coated that coilcover clear, so now it has a wet look and you can still see the grain of the aluminum. Looks good.

I'll definately post up my results of this turbo setup once it's all installed and tuned.
