What Other Manufacturers Turbo's Will Fit The Turbonetics Stage 1
#41
2" pipe for the crossover is more than big enough for over 800hp at the crank (if you go over 2" you get lag on the crossover). A turbo v8 only uses a 2" crossover pipe for around 800hp, the biggest is 2.5".If you do the volumetric effiency calculations for the vq35de a GT35r will support over 600whp, this turbo will make power all the way to the redline. I would recomend at least a 4-4.5" exhaust for that power on a single turbo setup. Or you could go all out and use a holset hx35/40 hybrid, these have titanium wheels and are designed to spin backwards, they do not break. Oil cooling only, so you also have less piping. Headers would be a good idea to use also.
Flanges are cheap http://motors.search.ebay.com/t3-flange_W0QQfromZR40
This will outflow a gt35r, the hx35 flows 9lbls per min less than the gt35r

If you want to do some research on people that are all about do it yourself check out the forums on www.turbomustangs.com and www.turboford.com - both of these forums will provide more information on turbocharging engines than you will ever get off of this forum. I used to build junkyard turbo cars, its fun outrunning someone in a 500$ car, that runs low 13s and looks like hell. I made the ricers cry, with my intercooler hanging out of the front of my grill between the headlights.

The GT-K series turbo's won't be shipping until early January I have been told. I don't know if anyone realizes this..... the GT-K 550 turbos will be about $2300. That's a lot of money just for the turbo. And there will be no exchange/credit given for the people with stage 1 turbo's. So if there is a turbo that can get me where I want to be for less money I'm all over it!

I saw the prices there and I must say, I cannot imagine they will remain that high for long, ESPECIALLY if they intend to compete directly with the garrett GT seriest turbos which cost half of that.
#44
plus one... is that is the MSRP most likely the prices will be around 1600..i hope they give soem sort of credit to current stage 1 owners at least if they own the kit very very recently like me... so the price with trade in is around 1000+500 piping+700 new intercooler+a better wastegate and the upgrade to current custom 1.5 kits is around 2500
#47
JET... you will still not make it very far even with a bigger turbo... there are restrictions in the pipin man... maybe buy stage 2 piping and a different turbo..
even if they dont trade... 3k $is as high as i hope it woudl be for current custom stage 1.5 "users" to upgrade to stage 2....

ask D350Z10, he put a T66 and only got 525 with cams..... so a bigger turbo and only made really 40 more whp than you..the rest is the cams...
i have seen a custom kit and the tn kit, and from underneath you can see some of the piping being small..going from 3" to 2" in some areas...

Do you know if his curve pulled to 6500 tho?? cause if it didnt do the 5400 drop off thats almost reason alone to do T66. What was boost as well? Just curious if you know.

idk 2 much on the turbonetics specifics like pipe size ect. but like i said custom DP would be needed ..i also would like to see what stage 2 TN would be ... but i doubt it will be new pipes. then what was stage 1 for the BOV and wastegate? i havent been on in a while so i dont know but last i saw was talk of programable ems injectors and fuel system that jet already has (i think) but who knows it prolly is smartest to wait for its release before making big $ choices

he mad max hp at around 5400 as wel...
th stage 2 needs more than just a new waste gate intercooler and bigger turbo, it needs some new piping in some areas...

stage 1 and stage 1.5(which is basicaly stage 1 with fuel upgrade and ems) the piping is the same......
#55
yah... well jsut put a samller turbo and the stage 2 tn piping =]
or add cams... IMO cams will end up being your best friend for your goals, that plus a turbo ovbiously since you aint got one

Send your t60 to majestic turbo or a place like that, have a bigger exhaust housing put on it and the wheel clipped. It will make more power up top. You people have to understand that to make power too 7200rpms your going to have lag, there is pretty much no way around it. Use a 2.5" up pipe and you should be good. Turbos are not expensive to rebuild.

D35010 had a Stage V turbine still even though he had a T66 compressor. I don't even think he increased the A/R of the turbine housing. Yes the GT-K MSRP is that but that doesn't mean thats what the price from a dealer will be. If you are 100% dead set on getting a different turbo I encourage you to search your options. But I will say the Stage 2 kit and GT-K turbos are going to raise a lot of eye brows when they start getting installed.

damm man... 3 am and you were answering this...... i thoguth you would be partying like there is no tomorrow lol....
i agree with all.... on thing...is it true that there Turbonetics wont give any credit at all to upgrade to GTK from out current kits... i mean by the time GTK is out my turbo is going to be only 3 months old. =]
