Xr6 Twinturbo!

the comparison was even, because the 35 had a larger t4 gcg rear housing. twins rated at 760hp, 3582r rated at 750

The horse power rating of a turbo is purely a mathematical equation from the compressor. Multiply the max Lbm/min by 10.4 or 10.6 depending on what crowd you hang out with and you have the max horse power figure. This is the equation that most turbo manufactures use.

The smallest of the GT2871R compressors = 38lbm/min x 10.4 = 395.2hp. Garrett rate them as a 400hp turbo.

Multiply that by two turbos = 790.4hp or Garrett 800hp.

GT3582R multiply 63lbm/min by 10.4 = 655.5hp. Garrett rate them as a 600hp turbo.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Ricky.

thanx 4 that, but a bigger turbine housing will definately allow 4 more power. that's why smaller housings are used 4 faster spool, with less overall power/top end power.

hi to everyone,great entertainment. It would be a great promo tool if u filled the back of a ute with a jet engine and enjoyed stock turbo on the street and then blast off at the track

Hey guys im getting no help any where else so I thought this would be the place to start again.

Im thinking of a TT set up on ... wait for it (sorry guys) a ve v6 alloytec. Seems your guys are more accepting of a turbo 6,

Reasons for TT , V6 motors aposed to inline, im going to mount them lower where the cats are normaly place and plumb it to a stealth black intercooler than up and into some stock intake parts trying to keep it all standard looking. It jsut seems easier to run 2 smaller turbos than try and run cross over pipes and mounted in the engine bay.

I know you guys wont have much experience with the ve layout of engine bay.

I need to know anything really like internal/external waste gates what size turbo"s to run for a 3.6L engine that redlines at 6700 Rpm. T28? im thinking for dual setup.

My idea is right now I have pacemaker extractors which stop at the cats so I could just make a adaptor flange and mount them there so no need for custom manifolds, im not trying to do a cheap and nasty job but anywhere I can save money is good.

hey buddy. I seen on another forum a bloke just finished a alloytec turbo setup. I have heard of a few shops making off the shelf kit. as for turbo t28 sounds abit to small. nice ute btw.

[1989mitty]

Yeah I have seen that kit, its punching some massive power but its only set up for vz alloytec's and also I still want twin low mount. so twin t28 are to small?

DO IT, DO IT

1989mitty,

Have you looked at the twin turbo kit that APS fitted to the 350Z? It's a 3.5L motor of course but may have a similar setup and turbo size that you require for your car.

Your ute looks great by the way.

Thanks for the comments guys, didnt think they would be good on this site. spoke with proFlow they said the pacemaker extractors are thin wall and wont hold up to the heat or weight of the turbo ? I call bullsh*t on this my self they said standard headers would be better? they recon they were going to do the turbo kit the way I wanted to first go around but to be more like everyone else they went for a more normal setup in the engine bay. Tuning vcm suite have let me down and wont support 08 model alloytecs for a while to come so im looking into after market ecu piggy back, can any one recomend a good ecu piggy back that would suit boosted aplications
