Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Cool, take some pic's! Hopefully you get the cooling issues figured out.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Well just got off the phone with BEP. That sweet deal of a turbo was basically shot. It was the non-extended tip compressor wheel, he found a part of the center section cracked and broken off. I had also asked him to swap in a ET compressor wheel, but he said that the compressor wheel was seized onto the shaft so they couldn't get it off. Shit Deng!!!

Solution to the problem was, I just ordered a brand new S362 from him. Should ship in a couple days. It'll come with a .70 A/R T3 housing, with a V-Band out which I'm pretty happy about! Can't wait to see it in person!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Just went and spent $30 on SS fasteners. I think from now on, everytime I change something, or take something off, I'm going to spend the couple bucks to replace it with SS hardware. I bought SS fasteners for the TB, and for the Valve Cover just now. Yaay!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I enjoy that too. You should get some stainless, metric, socket head cap screws.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

The bolts for my valve cover that I just bought, are exactly that.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Sucks to hear about the turbo, But at least you're getting other things sorted :)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Well the turbo arrived Thursday, but I couldn't get it because it required me to be home in person to sign for it. Bummer. Anywho it's sitting at the shipping office and I can go pick it up on Tuesday, I'm pretty excited!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

nice did you get a good deal on it

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Ya I got a decent deal on it. I'll post up some pics of it Tuesday or Wednesday once I have it in my hands.

From what I gather, it should flow a bit more than a GT35R at higher boost levels because of the extended tip design, and have pretty good spool up.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

^badass man, hopefully you don't have the same spool issues like u did with the fiddy.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I'm interested to see what spool up time on one of these bad boys is...It's always nice to see people try something different than what every body else is doing.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I forgot... Is that a bb turbo?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

No it's not. I think BW may have some real custom stuff out there that is BB, but most of what you'll see will all be just standard bearing.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Well, guess what I got today...

V-Band out, which I really likey!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

looks nice. I'm anxious to see how spool on this bad boy is for ya.

why did you stick with T3 vs T4?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I wanted to have a good medium between flow, and spool. I think T3 in the size that I got, will offer that since this is a street driven car that will see a track only a few times.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Cool, I look forward to you getting your car out. I have kinda been looking at these turbos thinking they might be the way to get a little more airflow than a GT35 but have better spool that some of the big boys.

You have a 2.3 correct?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nope, I'm still 2.0.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Bad ass turbo. Do you have specs on the exhaust side? wheel size and A/R. 2.0 FTW

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Sexy!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

As far as the exhaust side goes, it's the smaller of the 2 exhaust wheel options. Here are all the specs I believe it is. I just wrote them asking for verification of it all.

Compressor Wheel: inducer-62mm / exducer-84.6mm / 54 trim
Exhaust Wheel: inducer-76.1mm / exducer-66.7mm / 77 trim
Exhaust Housing: .70 A/R, T3 inlet, V-Band outlet

Compressor map attached below. Also I'll post up a map of a .70 A/R GT35R for comparisons sake.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Also I was going to mention that it is oil cooled as well which I really like because of simplicity in the engine bay. Less lines going places = :)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

That's a very sweet turbo man :)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

How are you going to plug the water lines from the origional setup then?

Also, are you ceramic coating both the manifold and exhaust housing?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

That's a pretty big exhaust wheel, should make some power.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

The last setup was oil cooled also.

And yes, I'm having that Form and Function place in St. Paul coat my manifold and exhaust housing.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Also, just picked up the aluminum from Discount Steel to start building my intake manifold.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Sweet! Keep us posted on your progress on the Manifold.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I will keep you posted on the manifold progress.

I did just pick up my new Fidanza 4.3 clutch from MAP, thanks guys!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Just received and installed the new CF hood today. I'd have pics but my digi cam is busted, and Derek's ran out of battery.

Also I started on the intake manifold. I have the runners cut, and have begun working on the plenum/runner flange.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Looking good B. I know we talked a little about your build but after reading this, you were holding out on me ;)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Thanks man. Nah I wasn't holding out, just not trying to toot my horn to you.

Here's the pics of the stuff I got coated from FFP.

Happy with how it turned out. Can't put it on yet though because I realised I had no fittings for the oil lines. I want to wait for those fittings before putting this all on.

Also since I'm going to Spain here in a week or so, the car probably won't be up and running until this Spring.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Update with some pics.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Looking good man.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

The new hood somewhat on.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Oh snap, JDM fiber. Lookin good dude

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

looks good
you need to get the carbon pop ups also

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

That and I need some different rad fans since I had to remove one because the turbo gets in the way.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Shouldn't need too much for fans with that radiator and E85.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

That's what I hear. Except I experienced a much different thing from that, while trying to keep my car from overheating all last year.
