mine is going on this week...

just tested another turbo we had blouch build us (totally one off)...

will be an interesting comparison.

For the power claims of 520whatever; is that at the crank?

 

Yes. The turbo uses the standard GT3076R CHRA, so the standard 76mm compressor wheel and 60mm turbine wheel available on the regular 3076R. So the estimate is 525 at the crank; and that's based on the potential flow of the compessor wheel. Yes, you'll need to be fully modded to maximize the airflow.

That being said, Honda S2000s have made 520whp with the 3076R.

 

Are there any turbos that are bolton that have the potential to make more than that?

 

No. If you want more than that, I suggest looking at something like the AMS turbo kit with a GT35.

 

Something in my pants tickles cause im so excited!

 

People want pics, dyno graphs, details....ANYTHING! tell us what you all are doing.... please?

 

I just hate how the kit gives you ic piping and stuff that you don't need. I wish I could take that away and pay less.

 

The turbo probably mounts in a different place than stock, so the stock intercooler pipe won't fit with an aftermarket turbo/manifold combo.

 

You're probably right.

 

Any guesses as to what this turbo will do?

Also, what will be done to the car you're putting the 3076R on? I'm interested in doing some comparisons to other Garrett setups. I haven't touched the cams nor any of the internals.

 

Garrett says that the GT3071R and GT3076R should bolt right up to the factory exhaust manifold and downpipe so I wouldn't be suprised if your aftermarket UICP worked as well.

 

Right, the stock UICP as well as aftermarket UICPs that fit the stock turbo will fit the 3071R and 3076R no problem. Excalibur was referring to any kit that came with a 35R or larger turbo. The kits available now use aftermarket tubular manifolds and mount the turbo in a different position than stock, so UICPs meant for the stock location wouldn't fit these kits. That's why they come with their own UICP and downpipe.

 

He is. If you want more power than a bolt on you would need an AMS or ETS type of kit. Im surprised there arent more people with the ETS kit already.

 

C'mon, CBRD! Bolt that sucker up and show us what she'll do.
