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 Chuck Huang |
For this Turbo, I need 1200CFM+, I need a 4" core, 3" piping in and 4" piping out, I prefer vertical fins, needs to be setup for NO battery (remote battery), NO Y-pipe (single turbo), and NO intake. It would be nice if the sucker were as wide as possible, across the area where the intakes and battery goes.
Horizontal fins [---------------] [---------------] Vertical fins [|||||||||||||||] [|||||||||||||||] Yes, this of course means that the end tanks on the top and bottom rather the sides. |

If you want the top and bottom end tank, the core size will be greatly reduced and you won't be able to find a core that flows 1200cfm in that configuration. The maximum length from top and bottom is 12". So if you want a 3" inlet pipe and a 4" outlet pipe, that will only leave you with 5" of core. You also need some space on the end tank to weld the pipe so that will leave you with a 4" core. I don't think any company makes that size and flows 1200 cfm. Spearco does have a core that's 24" wide so you will need to relocate the battery to the back. Unfortunately, that core does not flow as much as the core I am using. The core I am using is the second highest flowing core made by Spearco. The highest one flows 1500 cfm but it's too tall. I don't think a 4" outlet pipe will be a good idea. You will lose a lot of air velocity. Besides that, I can't find a place to mandrel bend 4" pipes. What turbo are you using that requires 1200 cfm and 4" outlet? Chuck Huang |

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.

Okay, Chuck. How about 3" in and out?
So, the max is 12" of vertical space. What is the width of the large/hiflo core you're getting? Then add end tanks? How much wider than the current one on your site? How about a group buy price with under 100% profit, too? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png |
Chuck you can't find anybody to bend 4" that's too bad for you, maybe we can work something out like you stay off my thread and I'll bend your 4" pipe https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
Tony 4" out wouldn't be that good of a idea you will lose velocity, you are right though in wanting a vertical setup instead of a horizantal one,Tube length is one of the biggest considerations, a tube twice as long as another will have nearly twice the drag at the same velocity. Entry and density also matter to a degree.The most ideal configuration is position the core to offer the shortest length tube and the most number of tubes. This would optimize core area but the way you would like and what you can do sometimes don't agree. -Sean |

Zach [/quote] Zach: There is no way you can outflow the core with that turbo. Right now I am making 3 of them all for the HKS T51R Kai which flows 80 lb/min. Let's do a little match. The new core I use is 19.5" wide, 11" tall, and 4.5" thick. It flows 1400 CFM at 15 psi which is about 2 ATM. 1400 CFM stands for 1400 ft3/min = 37.8 m3/min (cubic meter / min) The dry air density at ATM is 1.22 kg/m3 so at 2 atm, it is 2.44 kg/m3 You take the CFM and multiply the air density at 15 psi will be 37.8 m3/min x 2.44 kg/m3 = 92.23 kg/min = 203 lb/min So with the calculation, it shows the core can flow 203 lb/min at 15 psi. I doubt your turbo can flow that much. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Chuck Huang |

BTW, if you are worry about pressure drop, I have the intercooler flow map that shows pressure drop diagram and efficiency. With this core, the pressure drop on a 13B will be less than 0.5 psi. This thing is recommended for a 7.6-8.5L engine. haha Chuck Huang |
Yeah, I don't think that I'll have to worry about outflowing Chuck's Monster V-mount setup!! That is good news!

A engine's CFM rating is fixed but the higher boost you run, the more power you are going to make because the air density is higher at higher boost.

I think flow is only one of the things in this puzzle that needs to be considered I could care less if it could flow 2500cfm if it can't cool down the charge air effectively it wouldn't mean diddly end tank design has alot to do with pressure drop as well. I would almost be more concerned with eff#'s than flow#'s.
-Sean |
I think that the cooling efforts of the V-Mount are going to be just fine. Going by what I have seen from other V-Mount setups using similar parts, they work great. Plus Spearco cores are always a safe bet. Sean, sorry to hear that you are stuck waiting for parts to arrive. I know how frustrating that can be. On the good side of things, my TII will be sold my next week so my funds for the project FD are still on the rise!! I might be able to complete it sooner than expected.

It's the right one. You can request a turbonetic catalog and it's in there. Turbonetic bought Spearco just in case you are wondering. Chuck Huang |
Before this turns into a v mount thread, please open up another thread under "3rd gen" if you have more questions or just email me. Thank you.
Chuck Huang |
Chuck,
Not to worry. This isn't going to turn into a V-mount thread. This thread was started by me so that I could find out more info on A-Spec's GT40R kit that is for sale. It just so happens that your V-mount setup was brought into the thread, also by me, and it was discussed. I am trying to keep the focus on the GT40R kit though. Funny enough, I'll be moving just north of Sacramento next year and will be within driving distance of your shop. I look forward to meeting you in person. Laterz. Zach |
Come on guys, don't let my my thread die!!!! What's the news??

Ok here are the pics of the kit

isn't the ar on the compressor on the small side, as far as singles go?
|
It's just a ratio...can't compare it to other turbos.
|
ah, thanks michel.....
|
You and John have to come back down and come for a ride with me....my turbo has the same compressor as the A-spec kit (88mm). I'm still in the 10's a/f wise but she's a rocket. Stupid fast, just the way I like it :-)
Michel |
wow, you mean next time i come down your car will actually be running like it should!!! hahaha, i'll do that next time i'm home. i need a new clutch and might switch manifolds and stuff too.... we'll see,
oh by the way, did you say rolo up here in orlando is a pretty good tuner? maybe i'll get my car dynoed there when i'm done fixing it.... |
There are two dynos in Naples that we can use. Yes, he's a great tuner though. Compact is in the process of making a mild steel fully divided manifold. You could always get that ceramic coated inside and out...
Yeah she's pretty healthy at the moment. I pulled a 996 twin turbo like she was sitting still today. My front seal is apparently leaking though so that's being changed out on Saturday. It never ends.... |
To Zero R
What is the size of turbine housing of turbo GT40R in your picture? Is it 0.95 or 1.06AR? I will put this turbo in my skyline gtr so which AR you recommend for rb26 (2600CC). My target power is over 600Whp with new piston, con rod and 272cam 10.8 lift at 1.6K boost. thank you |
It is .95 and I may have a better turbo for your skyline, I will put something together and get back to you, I'm actually working on a twin 35R RB30 setup right now. I may be able to help you with your skyline project.
-Sean |
So which turbo you recommend to my skyline Sean?
What is your target WHP in rb30 twin GT35? (I guess 1200 hp ..Cool) and how you deal with the gearbox and front drive shaft? even holinger sequential may have problem at that level and hks front drive shaft will last for less than 5 drag run How about your GT40r on 13b-rew, Have you test run turbo already? Why you select .95 AR instead of 1.06 and what about exhaust temp? Thanks Sean |
On a GTR you can get 450-500 on stock turbines, so this turbine should get you to 600 easy. Gtr's with cam's and stock bottom end and t04r/ t78 size turbine get anywhere from 700-900. With all the supporting mod's of course.
|
Sorry for the late reply, I had a Idea I wanted to chase down for you but haven't had the time, the 40R with the .95 should be OK, my goals on the RB30 are not that lofty it is attainable but we'll see it all depends on the customer, as for going with the .95 on the kits, I sell both the .95 and 1.06 it's up to the customer really. If you want call me here 630.543.8890

sorry, slightly off topic, but where does that "Performance Calculator Mazda RX7" computer program come from? (I searched)
