So, do the guys at A-Spec have any updates for us yet?? I know that Sean said he was going to put one on a car pretty soon. I just didn't know if soon was now or not yet. I hate to be pushy, but I am really really wanting more info on this turbo. It "might" be the solution to the GT35/40 top end problems. Laterz.



Zach

I have three 40R's in stock two are spoken for one is still available, what info are you looking for.



-Sean

What sort of $$ figures are we talking here? What kind of turbine discharge, V-band or "regular" ?

Michel

And what specs are we looking at here for the one that's still available? I'm assuming the compressor and turbine options are identical to the plain bearing GT40?

Call him, Michel.

Sean,



I would like to know a price for the turbo and manifold to go with it for a 13B-REW. Also, if you have any test figures on it as far as approx. spool up time and it's efficiency range. Thanx in advance for any and all info.



Zach

The first few kits are almost done I'm just stuck waiting on some flanges to get here(not the kind I can make) once that happens I will have some #'s for you, it wont be much longer.



-Sean

Sean,



Thanks so much for keeping me updated on this. I really do appreciate it and am looking forward to doing business with you in the near future! Laterz.



Zach

V-band rulez you!

Possibly, but does the new GT40R kit from A Spec come with the V-band attachments or no??

Yes it does.

which attachments are V-band? That is great news for me though. I wanted V-band, but the only turbos that I have seen that have them were bigger than what I wanted to run in my car. This deal keeps sounding better and better. Although, I am still waiting to hear an approximate price for the turbo and manifold...



Zach

5 billion dollars, there that should keep you happy, the backside of the turbo is V-band the wastegates will be also, that's on the 40R kit only. Kits are probably going to be $3499 for the 35/40 (new improved and cheaper beat that!!) with the new manifold and DP, and $3799 for GT40R.



-Sean

I'll take three. Don't bother wrapping them up, I'll consume them here.

what a bargain for 5 billion dollars

As long as the dyno charts look as good as I think they're going to, you'll have at least one of those kits going to me. I was talking to some of my good friends as well and they are very interested. In total, there are 6 of us. I can't promise on any of them except myself. So please make sure you let us all know when the first dyno charts are available. Thanks for all your help Sean.



Zach

Believe me you'll be one of the first to know.

Is there ahy forum any where that you are not on JEEZZUUSS, you sir are like the plague https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

to answer that question:



no.

Just to clarify this. The $3799 you stated for the GT40R kit... Is that for the turbo, manifold, and DP like with the 35/40 kit? Or is it just for the turbo itself?



Zach

That price would be for the full kit!



-Sean

Rock on!!!! Too bad you guys don't offer a V-mount IC setup too! hint, hint. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



Zach

Well what do you know I do, but it's not going to be sold for a while, I've been running my V-mount for 3+years now, now everybody wants one thanks to Chuck. Fine by me!!! I'm just lazy about marketing it. Here is a pic of the older setup.



-Sean

I am currently looking at Chuck's Monster V-mount setup. It looks good. I was looking at the regular V-mount he is selling, but it just doesn't look big enough. I want something that if I decide to run 22psi I don't have to worry about maxing out the IC. So the Monster is where I'm heading now. How does yours compare in size and capabilities of the Monster? I believe it was rated at 1250CFM @15psi and capable of supporting 800hp. Granted I'm not going for 800, more like 500 to 550 on high boost. If yours compares you might end up being my "one stop shopping place." And a package deal would probably be available to me as well!! Let me know something.



Zach

Check out the latest Sport Compact Car (December 2003 w/ Apexi drift FD on the cover). They're using a Vmount setup with an Apexi drag core. Very nice setup. Also interesting was the use of an Altezza radiator. Wonder if the IS300 radiator in the states is the same. Ducting is very nicely set up.



Sean, will the GT40R kit mount the turbo high like the GReddy T78 kit and the 35/40 kit you sell? Or will it be lower and further back like some of the HKS setups?

Michel

Based on the exhaust manifold, low and tight.



Okay, so I'm ready to get a new IC for the new setup.



What should I get? Thought it was settled with the Greddy 3-row? Guess not!

Bad Dog,



As great as the GReddy 3 row is, a V-mount seems to have all of those advantages without worrying about overheating. I know it's a little more expensive, but it seems to be a bulletproof setup. The one question I have about it is the whole vented hood issue. I will be running the Scoot Sports hood so I'm not worried about that part, but some guys that refuse to run a vented hood may not realize the full potential of the V-mount. That's what I've gathered from my reading and experiences. Hope that helps some.



Zach

It mounts low and very very tight I haven't had a chance to do the final fitment on the 40R kit yet but when I fitted the 35R kit it was tight enough that you will want a engine brace or a slight hammer, unfortunately that is the only way to get equal length and low mount that everybody asked for the good news is with the 35R you can at least fit the airpump on there but as far as plumbing goes that will probably be left up to you guys.



-Sean

I've been reading about this turbo for months, but I have yet to see what turbine housing is included with it. Sorry if I missed it somewhere. T3 or T4? Divded or not?



Curiosity has been killing me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



-Chris

T04 divided v-band .95 or 1.06



-Sean

you are the man dood.



https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Thanks Zach! So glad I have a vented hoodready to put on! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



I'll wait until Sean tells me about his v-mount setup....waiting....

v-band where? Connecting the exhaust housing to the center cartridge? Or for the downpipe?

JSpec, I quoted this from one of Sean's earlier posts for you.



"the backside of the turbo is V-band the wastegates will be also" Hopefully that will answer your questions about where the V-band connections are on this turbo. Laterz.



Zach

The new Manifold is fully divided as well?

Yes on the 40R's it is on the 35/40's it's not.

I think you have a new customer then! Getting really tired of dealing with the inadequacy otherwise known as GReddy USA. I just spent more money making phone calls trying to locate replacement GReddy T78 gaskets (turbo to downpipe and manifold to turbo) than the cost of the gaskets themselves. For three days I've been calling people! GReddy sucks. Tell me your kit uses readily available gaskets and I'll buy two! Seems like it'll be everything I'm looking for. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

ONLY if I come down and tune it. New rule on a GT40R purchase! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



What gaskets? Where there is a v-band, we don't need no stinkin' gaskets! Well, maybe the one between the mani and the turbo...



How big is your port and which engine you going to use? The BRE? Have an idea what CFM you're at? Guess?

Badog,



Which types of EMS can you tune. I'm either going to be running the Haltech E6X or the PFC. Are you familiar with either or both of those?? There is a good chance that BDC will be tuning my car once he builds the engine, but if not then I would need a good tuner seeing as there aren't any in South Carolina. Thanx in advance.



Sean, your turbo kit sounds like the perfect answer for what I'm looking for. You can rest assured that when I do buy my turbo, it will come from your shop! Now I'm just waiting to see dyno charts to reinforce my decision.



Zach

I am working on a monster v mount II using a 1400 cfm core enough to support 900 HP. The core measures 11"x19.5"x4.5". There is no way you can out flow this one and best of all, I am keeping it at the same price. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
