Nez, do you have any graphs of the 2.3L and 20G? I'm considering that setup for monster low end for Auto-x... PM me

 

i dont have any graphs but i can tell you that the 20g spools almost TO with the 2.3, its kind of feels like a supercharger! I still wish i could have autoXed one time with that setup just to see the difference. but if you have the 20g it feels like it runs outta steam a little faster up top with the 2.3 than the 2.0. All and all i believe the 2.3 option was made for larger BB turbos. I am going to try and Autox with my current set up but something tells me my street tires wont hold up like they have in previous events!

 

I have heard it doesn't fit well with aftermarket radiators, probably do to the wastgate location.

 

Thanks for the review. I'm leaning toward trying the 20G-9-5/2.3L setup for Auto-x since the 20G bolts up to the OEM mani. It's easier to move up to the 3065/3076 than to move back down to the 20G. I wonder where 22 psi will hit on the 20G, 2000 RPM?

 

I Finally uploaded some of the images of the old and new turbo...

the Old





And now the New:









You Can acually see where the wasgate "attacked" the radiator!

 

lookin nice nezzayyyyyy RRRRAAAAKKAATAA

 

whooo hoo!!!! nice nez

 

I picked up the 35r kit.. How much did you molest the coolant lines for it to fit?

 

Not to much it took about 5-10 minutes, they didn't want to move at first but once they started they were easy as pie. Carefull though, they start to get really brittle when bending a lot

 

LOL I see you have those little beads from the blasting stuck in one of your head shield holes too...

I'm doing my setup this weekend..

What size is the damn coupler on the intake? Looks like 5" I ordered a 4" Dejontool intake for my car..

 

4", you should be fine

Edit* i forgot to get those damn beads out! now they are solid as a rock!

 

Thats what I thought.. The coupler looks huge from 2.5" LOL (Edit, 3" Oops!)

My solution to keeping the stock ECU eliminates the MAF anyway..

 

The intake is a 3" all the way through, it was pretty expensive for the 4" to 3" coupling. The things we do to keep the MAF.

 

What intake is that?

Edit: Forgot to add- SICK setup.

 

Looks good man. I wonder how hard it would be to replace the coolant lines with braided hose. I'd like to have all the hoses on my 20G switched over the braided lines but I have a feeling it would be expensive.
