grahamc Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 The entire point for having this discussion... The cars life (in order) should be, road then track/race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Jeez you've changed your tune Jamie LOL Lag is a royal PITA for a fast road car. You will not notice it on dualies or Motorways becuase then you can change gear, but around the twisties it is infuriating. I have had a 74GTS & mega quick spooling GT35R hybrid, and the later was sooo much more fun to drive. Terry how do the hybrid gt35R's stack up on auto's?? this is an option I was considering?

Guest Terry S Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Terry how do the hybrid gt35R's stack up on auto's?? this is an option I was considering? Would be a very good combo IMO. Similar to a T61 with slightly faster spool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm thats got me re-thinking now going to look into this in more detail!! whats the turbo good for power wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 Would be a very good combo IMO. Similar to a T61 with slightly faster spool. Where do you get them? Are they any good for manuals? Price wise how do they compare against the T61? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Its the turbo I ran on my VVTi. Very good for manuals. Made 550 bhp 520 ft/lb torque on pump fuel, stock cams. Let me know if you need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Would be a very good combo IMO. Similar to a T61 with slightly faster spool. agreed, the 35R is a cracking turbo. Very fast spool and will push up to around 600hp IIRC using the biggest hotside. There are a few batardised ones around now that use a divided tang t4 housing too, as the original uses a t3 hotside. Though its not a big deal, simply use a t3-t4 converter or weld a t3 flange to the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you need one. Not looking right now, but will be in the not too distant future. Basically sorting everything else first... engine fuel system aem ecu exhaust induction cams (264/264) fmic brakes - good brakes are a must! after this lot, will be suspension and diff, then comes the single turbo.

Guest Terry S Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 OK just a heads up on the 35R. If you are using a BL kit you would need a hard pipe oil return to miss the manifold. The T61DBB fits without issue and is available as a complete kit now with water lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 It is very confusing Deciding on what turbo to get for your needs.. im still undecided to keep the T88 or not:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 Thats is why I am starting to look now... need to make a decision, but need to time and info to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 As said before, a decent mapper with a good ECU should be able to sort most of it out, I have hardly any lag, if any I think anything over 550 - 600hp on the road is silly and there are plenty of turbos in that power bracket which have great spool.
