Al, Ive been tossing up several different turbos and cannot decide. The GT35 is the last stop if I cannot make the power Im looking for. First I was set on the 3076/3037 turbo.....then I was thinking of a GT35R to make big power, but Im definitely concerned with spool. Then I realized the 3040 is out the and made by ATP Turbo, so its not a 4 grand HKS unit....and I know you used one of these for quite a while. Im curious, the 3071 has very quick spool, the 3076 or 3037 a little slower and the GT35 is a big turbo, where does the 3040 fall in here and what should I expect?

 

Ok, anyone want to throw this out there?

 

I have a HKS Gt3040 with 3 weeks use you can have for $1,000

 

Al, that may be of particular interest. But what Im really trying to do is decide if its right for me.

The GT35R seems to be the turbo of choice....but being a person of non convention, I began looking at other options. The GT3240 is too expensive and exclusive to HKS. ATP has a turbo, and now you have one for a grand. Im looking to bolt it up to a full race manifold and go from there, having a DP and oil lines fabbed up in due time.


I really, really need your experiences and input regarding power output, spool times and a comparison to the GT35R before I make a serious decision.

Ive seen some impressive power results, I really would like to know if the turbo is suitable for street driven duty on a 2.0L motor eventually going to be used in a Crower 2.2 stroker setup. Custom is the word, Al, custom!

 

The HKS GT3040 uses a T25 flange which won't work w/ the T3 flange on the Full Race manifold. Full Race may be able to add the T25 if you have to have it. Also, the HKS turbo uses a different (smaller wheel and specs) compressor side then a typical GT3040 that can be bought from a turbo shop.

 

ATP Turbo has the unit Im looking for. Im just looking for similar results. What else do you know about it jj?

 

The only thing that I can tell you for sure is the spool up and power is going to be in between the GT3076 and a GT35R. ATP's claim of 600hp seems very optimistic to me. If it was me I would go w/ the GT35R over the GT3040. It seems to me that lag seems to be an issue to you. You should probably be looking at a GT3076.

 

yes and no, Im just wondering if there is an option that is better than the GT35R. Dare to be difrerent, but just the same, if it comes down to it, the GT35R it is

 

Gt35R is the best smal turbo for evos

 

is the GT35R good for running on a 2.0L and used for a track car 91 octane(road course) or should i go with the 3071 or 3076? i have the same problem deciding. i really want teh 3071 but on a fairly stock car running 91 i wont get 400 and thats my goal and i want to keep close to stock spool. i thought the gt35r was a straight away turbo not good for track. is that true? thanks in advance
