jeffp Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 I just got my new turbo and waste gate today. I am very pleased with the parts. I will do some of my custom work on them, but for the most part they are ready for install. The only thing I can say that I wish was different is the turbo is not water cooled, but time will tell ifthat is going to be a problem. here is the link, tell me what you think. http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/280zxt/page23.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 im wondering more about that v-clamp thing at the end of your turbo, how does it work, does the downpipe go directly to the back of the turbo and gets clamped down.?? i have seen that v-clamp before and it looks cool.

DavyZ Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I really like the wastegate and the turbo you have. 600 hp sounds about right. Would love to see some header pics when available!! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffp Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 I think the V band is slick also, yes the DP will bolt to the end of the turbo nice and easy. I am going to run the stock exhaust manifold and see how well it performs. I will get some pics of the install when I get it done. I am still collecting parts for the rest of the upgrades to the car right now, and I want to do a little more machining on the turbo for flow considerations. This should be a really sweet setup on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 That stuff looks really good Jeff. I haven't heard of a 0.70 A/R T3, but that sounds like a good size for a street application. I'm not sure the divided housing will buy you much, unless you have a 6 into 2 type header that directs the flow from 1-3 into one side and 4-6 into the other...but you are doing a custom header, correct? And the 62-1 looks like it might be a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan280zt Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 hey jeff how much would unit like that run for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffp Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 The turbo cost 1K with all new parts, and the flange and welding the flange, oh also the vband. I called Turbonetics yesterday and ordered the pipe part ofthe flange and it was 45.00 Those guys really want allot of money for their stuff, but oh well. The divided inlet to the turbo is basically a T4 configuration. I do have to make some modifications to the inlet to give it a better flow into the inlet, but that really is not much of a problem. I also bought a new 1/2" spacer 28.00 for a part that cost about 5.00 to get the materials for and make, oh well. I have to port match the new spacer to exhaust manifold, and the spacre to the turbo inlet, and do a little polishing on the inlet to the turbo to get a little smoother flow into the turbo. I think that should be a really good setup, but I will find out for shure when I run it forthe first time and see how it spools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 WOW! That is one deadly looking turbo/wastegate! Can't wait to hear how she runs installed! Hey Jeff I also got to say, you have got a really nice website! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
