Custom Turbo by FAT
I was very skeptical and curious about this car also after reading about it a while back....
tuners don't tend to post bad news until they've fixed it... if they don't fix it they don't post.

awesome looking setup and huge turbo. i would be a little concerned about the heat issue as mentioned earlier. just curious but how much money have you invested in that setup???
Actually its a T04Z with apparently a 0.84 A/R TS T4 flanged turbine housing . Nothing 37 about it .
Arguably the turbine housing A/R could have been a little larger because functional TS systems are less A/R sensitive than single scroll ones . Its debatable if a smallish TS housing will pull it up to speed any sooner than a larger one but highly likely to be restrictive at higher engine revs .
I think the outcome would be that the engine will run the turbine housing out of flow before the compressor and its housing does .
Yes I thought of the SR20 manifold in that other pic too , I think Nissan Performance Mag (online) has an article about it under "Project SE/R - the turbo" .
That one had a fair bit of bracing near the turbo to support its weight .
Be interesting to see the FAT system results , cheers A .
