Not a problem


exhaust is a corsa sport
journal bearing 60-1 = fail
gt3076r is enough for most peoples power goals, just keep the turbo safe to avoid the $850 rebuild cost.
log mani should be fine for it, I was pushing 411whp on a shitty ebay log manifold before I swapped over to the vulcan equal length
if you want to go journal bearing, go with the new borg warner's spool as fast or faster than the dbb's and if sized right will make more power too..... s356 woot.

my car's old setup, 60-1 cbb hifi t3/t4 on the equal length didn't hit full boost (22-25psi) til 4500+ rpm also,

 

Only problem is we live in two different states but are side by side. lol

 

Eh it's close enough.

 

haha yeah

 

Yea the rebuild kit for my turbo is really pricey but i got the turbo for dirt cheep used "so if it dies it dies" lol

 

What size is the charge piping?

 

yeah $450 for a $1500 turbo aint' a bad deal
and rocky IV quotes this weekend ftw.

charge piping is 2.5" turbo to FMIC, 3" fmic to t.b.

 

paul, you know how my piping is ran. do you think ther would be a issue with clocking a GT3076 in order to get it to face down and not have clearence issues? im sure ill have to change a few couplers and add a 90 but other than that will it clear the water pump?

 

That is a badass deal.. Brand new I can get one for about 1k... I would rather pay 450 but, cant find a good deal like that everywhere...

thanks for the piping size, thats what I was thinking.. Where do you get piping for this setup.

 

should clear, post a pic from under your car so I can see what room you have from everything back there.

cx racing universal piping kits.... greatest ever lol.

hell yeah $450 is retarded for that turbo, especially in good shape. Came from a friend of mine that went crazy with a gt3540r on his built stroker srt4

 

Haha CXR! Nice!

Nice, well that is a retarded price. Wish I could find a deal like that, haha. how many miles, was there shaft play or anything?

 

miles, dunno, it was on the car for a few months (very few). very very little if any shaftplay, less than .5mm.

 

Damn... Did you put a gun to said friends head for this price... lol Well thanks for all the help! I will stay tuned for the results!

 

there is a small section of the comp housing that has been machined for clearance from the water pump, hopefully it is just the 20g that needs this?

 

You need to convert that to external dump!

 

it is now this is a really old pic from a yr ago,

you should be able to get away with it. gt3076 has a pretty small compressor housing, I know with the vulcan log mani and another friends 05 with a gt3071r there is plenty of room by the water pump.

 

cool, like always thanks for the help

 

no prob man.

 

I know noscobaltss used to run the 35r clocked downward without clearance issues. So, the 30 should fit your you like that. Why don't you step it up and run a 35r instead

 

lol he didn't have full boost till like 5k. that must have sucked *****!

 

and the 4in anti surge housing says its good for 525 hp on a gt30 thats plenty for me.

 

Yeah that's on the gt3076r version.

 

In all opinions would you say it would be ten times easier to go turbo swap instead of getting a TVS? Since you gotta worry about all the heat issues and stuff, such as all cooling mods and stuff.

 

tvs is the easier and cheaper of the 2, but turbo leave a lot more on the table power wise.
all depends on your goals
