alternative to gt35r or better??

mbird · 04-09-2005, 07:25 PM

alright i'm looking for a big turbo upgrade and it seems everyone says the gt35r but i'm wondering if theres somthing else that is equal to the gt35r or if anyone knows somthing that can make more power and is a better turbo. need everyones help. thanks.

I would suggest either the FP 3065 or SCM 61 or Slowboy's GT-14 all make the same HP but have a smaller turbine wheel. Much better street turbo's IMHO.

fp3065 is a nice turbo too but i dont want bolt on i'm looking for T3/T4.

then change the turbine housing

No you can't buy a 3065 and change the turbine housing....thats sacrilegious.

Now I would suggest any of the SC-61's from PTE or the GT-14 from slowboy. All are full garrett T3/T4.

anyone have any info on a gt40R? from what i've found it could be pretty nice.

this may be a dumb question to alot of people but does the gt40r have a T3 or T4 turbine side?

T4, with a divided housing.

Not for sale yet as far as I know. I think there's about 25 or so early release models floating around out there, but then they went unavailable for the past year or so.

Supposedly they're supposed to be released for normal production sometime this spring.

"FP3065" can be ordered with a t3 turbine housing. If you do that it's not really much of an FP30, but it still comes with the ported compressor cover that isn't standard issue from most vendors.

theres a couple sites that have them for sale now. going cost is $1515.00. heres a link to a few:

geting kinda off topic but who makes a good tubular t4 manifold? not worried about cost just quality.

Listing them on the internet is not having them in stock.

I called both of those places a couple months ago. They all tell me the same story, the same one I posted earlier.

mbird · 04-11-2005, 02:48 PM

try calling slowboy, they can usually get me what i need. havent had them say no yet

SlowboyCSE · 04-11-2005, 07:10 PM

DN Perfromance (DNP) makes a nice T4 divided outlet tubular manifold with a Tial 44 V-Band flange right on the collector.

We have been toying with some nice sized ball bearing Innovative turbo's between the 35R and 42R size with good results, but haven't ran any that hard just yet.

mbird · 04-11-2005, 08:53 PM

innovative is really nice but also come with a very nice price tag...think you could send me some info on what you've been toying with? 42R is way to big for me though. i want somthing that can do about 700hp.

SlowboyCSE · 04-12-2005, 12:09 PM

I emailed you off post!
