Make slowboy not so slow

I may have a spot available too.

Thanks Pete for renting me the garage spot for a few months. It will be great to have a real spot to work on the car(s).

So I'm ditching my s20g for something bigger now that I have the 2.3 motor. I've heard a lot of people talk about the 60-1, 61, and GT35R. How quickly will these spool on my motor (9.0 compression)?

Thanks,
Andrew

I have a brand new GT3561 for sale. :)

Which one? I hate the numbering places some places use. It should be like SCM6176RHPS, SC6169RE or something like that.

How does a GT35RLSP compare to those two?

Is the 2nd number the exhaust wheel size, like 76mm or 69mm, etc?

[JET]

Those are just 2 examples, there are a ton of different numbers. SC means garrett style housing, SCM is Mitsu housing. 61 is the compressor wheel size, 76 is the exhaust wheel size. The end numbers describe the housings, ported, size of housing, etc.

PTE used to make a GT3561 turbo and it used that numbering scheme. It wasn't one really sold much or usually listed for sale. It was pretty much a real non-ball bearing GT35R, not part of the normal SC61 family. GT35R exhaust wheel, GT35R/61mm compressor wheel, GT journal bearing center section. Momin has one on his 1G.

buy mattd's setup!

I would stay away from an internally gated setup, they tend to suck on pump gas. Plan on dsmlink at the same time. I had an internally gated gt35r on my 2g and it sucked, especially with an afc. On boost onset, it would spike an extra 3 or 4 psi and then settle down to where I had wanted it. This spike would cause knock if set too high, greatly limiting the amount of power the car would put out on pump. With link I probably could have pulled out some timing tocut that down, but ultimately an externally gated setup is 100% the way to go.

I picked up that car last night, didn't go so well. At first it was driving fine, but then on the highway the battery light, check engine light, and brake light all came on at once for a minute, then they all went off. I thought it was strange, but kept driving. Occasionally they would flash for a second, but remained off most of the time.

30 miles down the road the car just does a clunk clunk and dies hard. The motor supposedly had rod knock so I thought the motor was toast, but now I'm thinking maybe the alternator was dead. The lights were pretty dim too.

I'll know in a week or so when I get the motor out i guess.
