I'm going to buy a GT35R turbo from a buddy of mine. I plan on making a custom turbo kit for my car. Any suggestions on anything, all info would be greatly appreciatted.

 

you have a 2.4 right? i believe a gt35 would be too big...a t3/t4 would be a good size...thats what i went with

 

35 will be good what trim is it?

 

A gt35 is a great turbo. ur 2.4 should spin it nicely it might be a little lagy but once you hit it youll be smiling. just alittle know fact Evos run them with a 2.0 the extra .4 with cams would be sick.

 

what are your plans? whats your hp goals?

 

My goal is to be in low-mid 13's possibly a year and half from now high 12's

 

Yeah what trim?

 

so then youd be looking at around 300hp...maybe a little more....id look into it and look at the compressor maps before you buy anything

 

I'll post specs when I find out, also another guy I know is selling a t3/t4

t3/t4 specs: a/r .50 M12 T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo with a T3 flange

 

The 35's are nice...but you might want to build up your engine...it will be a bit laggy but could probably push the 2.4 close to the 400 mark if not past it with probably under 20 lbs of boost.

 

have a fun time fitting that in there it is a bitch on the ss/sc

 

A little hacking never killed anyone

 

rear mount!!! FTW

what did you do to fit it in there?

 

i didn't another member could not

 

Get a second job!

 

I personally think that your going with too big of a turbo. Clearance is a huge issue with that size turbo, and a custom manifold will be required to stuff it in there. Another member put a GT30R on his car, and to have a special housing for it to fit right. I'd stick with a GT2871R for your goals. That turbo would be perfect for it.

 

what about a t3/t4?

 

t3/t4 is being used by the werks kit on the sol forums...its also the turbo ive chosen to go with...clearence might be a little tight ...but it will fit...if you want pm me and we can talk bout what you have in mind...

 

if you plan on selling that 35r lemme know, i'll for sure buy it, or if your buddy wants to sell his t3/t4 lemme know what he's asking...

 

my friend is selling the 35r for 1k

pm sent

 

you can fit the 35r under the hood.

do a search for djt's redline

 

turbo UP pipe FTW!!!!

 

here it is for those who dont know:

 

I would go for a much smaller turbo for you goals, and you would need to build the **** out of your engine. Go with what 2k5SS/SC's suggestion. GT35R's are for 500-600whp and 10's.

 

lil info my buddy built his Z24 cavalier with a gt35r turbo.... dynoed 422hp 347hp at 15psi at 6300rpms and the motor was built for 7500rpms. we didnt take it that high cause the fact that he was maxing out his injectors and was running out of fuel. the 2nd video was him at a local track racing and ran a best of 12.6 again running out of fuel on the top in so he was pedaling it all the way down the track and u can hear it in the video of the car breaking up all the way down the track
