GT Motorsports: 509whp, APS Single Turbo, Utec, GTM Turbo Upgrade, Stage 0 block,

George@GTM · 06-15-2008, 06:25 PM

Brandon's goal was to break the 500whp barrier after the engine build, which we did. The end result is awesome, this is a perfect example of a cost effective 500rwhp build if you already have a APS ST system.

GTM Turbo Upgrade for APS ST Systems:
As many of you know, the turbo provided with the APS ST systems is not a true Garret GT35r. The turbo is a hybrid with a smaller exhaust and intake housing which makes the fitment of the kit much easier, at the sacrifice of peak power. This kit was intended for a stock block setup, in which it does fine - but when you go built our turbo upgrade compliments this kit nicely and enables you to make big power.

What our kit provides is the parts needed to fit the standard intake and exhaust housing from a regular GT35r, fitment becomes tight, and some modification is needed, which is why APS went the route they did, to offer a truly bolt on kit.

Damn, very nice numbers from the APS single turbo. This car is definitely a sleeper. Simple but clean and fast! Nice job fellas.

Never been a fan of APS's products, but great power none the less. IS that APS Turbo upgrade something that only GTM is offering? Looks like it requires quite a bit of modification.

VERY NICE, I'm gonna go that route in a little bit, glad someone pushed this kit a little further

ZGLASS · 06-17-2008, 12:04 PM

What exhaust did you run before you changed it?

Zridder19 · 06-17-2008, 12:10 PM

Very nice wok GTM.

tig488 · 06-17-2008, 12:59 PM

very nice, ive been waiting on somebody to do this. looks like a tight squeeze. i like the y-pipe, looks similar to the one i fabbed up, only much better.

Kwame@z1 · 06-17-2008, 07:56 PM

Nice setup, those brakes look GREAT!

azula · 06-17-2008, 08:03 PM

awesome build guys, i'm inspired!

kopo · 06-17-2008, 09:00 PM

how much would something like this cost if you already have an APS ST installed?

accordfreak · 06-17-2008, 10:57 PM

what hot side did you go with? 1.06 a/r?

what size downpipe?

DanielW · 06-18-2008, 05:32 AM

holy crap man almost the whole shop build section is taken up by GTM. You guys are really pumping out some fast cars!

tig488 · 06-18-2008, 11:55 AM

im curious tho, the pics you show of the turbo installed, is not the correct compressor housing that you show in the bottom pics of the turbo. the one with the turbo installed is still a smaller housing. can you post some pics with the S-cover installed.

this....

The turbine housing (hot side ) is the 1.06 a/r with 3 " v band discharge .
