If you do, it won't bolt up to the stock manifold. The ATP kit hurts performance with it's custom hotside, just ruins the turbo. You need a true unmolested GT30R or GT35R in your case, the cheapest true kit is the Buschur Kits which are $2999.


FYI the Buschur GT35R kit has trapped at 141MPH, easilly into the 130's.

 

I run my AMS 35R on 91 all the time, but you can't run more than about 19psi. It performs fine. I could run an 11.9-12.1 @ 115-116 at those levels.

 

91 sucks dude, why not invest in an ALKY kit? $500 bucks well spent for about 100WHP, think about it.

 

Brother a alky or meth kit is not a 100whp gain, who ever told you that is smoking crack, I dont like the Idea of a meth kit because Ive heard to many people tell me that sometimes it doesnt work.

 

I think there are way more people with positive results on alchy than not. And most of the problems I read where either ****ty kits or people that just should'nt try to do thier own install. Anyhow an alchy kit is definately the way to go now in days

 

Uh, meth is ATLEAST 100whp over 91 octane on a 35r. 10 or so more psi and a few degrees of timing.

 

Yea listen to that noob above ^^^ he sounds like he knows what he is talking about.

I speak from experience. That new manifold will not give you power. It might show 5WHP gain up top.

ATP is not junk it just built for reliability and fitment before power comes to mind. That turbo will never brake or fall apart as the whole housing is made of thick cast. Yes you do loose around 15~20 WHP with ATP comparing to other kits like AMS However the price is noticeably lower.

ATP been in the market forever and they supply many vendors on here with turbo parts.

I would just add a good Alky kit like Aquamist (yes it will cost you good amount) and see what the results will be.

On the streets Gt35 will be laggy and not many people like it although it has nice top end.

You have to know that you gain something = loose something. With that being said before any decisions read and search.

BTW you will find a lot of crap on this site and on the net but you just have to dig deeper.

Good luck

 

+1 easily on a gt35r definately not a stock one but your asking about a 35r so definately

 

Thanks for the good advise.I already ordered my aqua mist meth kit and from the sounds of it buying a full race manifold for $1100 dollars would be a waste. Ive just been told that it would spool my turbo up faster and give more exaust to the turbo giving me more whp. If I knew it would give me at least 20 whp I would do it. Have you seen a full race manifold, There quality is supposed to be top notch.

 

If you only running 360WHP on 91 octane with a GT35R. Alky with tuning will get you atleast 450+WHP. Over here in NJ people normally get 420WHP on 93. The most I have seen on Pump and alky is 500WHP, nopt somoking crack, just runing higher octane with a top end turbo.

 

Those ATP kits really suffer from that custom hotside, just inefficient compaired to the regular GT30R kit.

Just look for a Use GT35R kit by RNR or by Buschur. I am telling you not only would it spool faster, you would have a LOT more power.

 

So could I get a different hot side or am I stuck with the one I have.

 

I am almost certain that you would be able to swap hotsides, that's what ATP did with their kits. If you already bought a ATP GT35R kit, then simply purchase a .63 Hotside and then you would need an exhaust manifold to bolt it up and then an 02 housing to bolt up to it. I believe RNR could supply you with both because AMS and Buschur don't sell pieces of their Turbo kits. IMHO the RNR manifold is by FAR the most attractive.

 

It's a little bit more complicated than that. In addition to swapping the hotside and manifold, you're going to need to make a provision for routing the WG from the manifold to the downpipe. Also, the altered placement of the new hotside may render the ATP downpipe useless without some invasive modification. And last but not least, the ATP kit is configured for a 38mm WG. IMO, you're better off with a 44mm with an improved housing.

All things considered, it takes additional money and time, and isn't a bargain route. Ask me how I know . . .

 

38mm wastegate is plenty big IMO.

and yes, i would say you are better off to sell that kit as a whole and buy some other kit.

bang for buck is the buschur kit, probably cost you an additional 1500 after selling that one.
