And you are basing this statement on what factual info you have ??

On the car with eclectic issue, no cam phasing, 96 % IDC and misfiring.

I said GTM type kits, log manifold, small exhaust housings. I shoulda just said that instead of a direct company name

YOu guys make great kits, and it wasnt a knock against you, but a negative about the amount of space available. YOu guys do the best that is possible without low hanging turbos.

On our VQ platforms there is not enough data to draw from (3-5 big log/t25 housing builds that have never been pushed or just dont run properly or HTA wheels in stock Greddy housings that havent been tuned yet), but when you look at grand nationals and supra's, there are definite trends that show, big wheel small housings are not the way to produce big power.

There's at least half a dozen builds on this forum alone going on right now, that when finished correctly will paint a better picture as to the future of big powered VQs

 

Yes sir... Actually no but I still love the line..

 

I think he took them down already...

 

EDIT: I mis-read a post and went overboard.

Post cleared.

 

Interesting. But I just don't see much market potential for these turbos for VQ applications.

As others pointed out, the restrictive piping of the Turbonetics kit is the main hindrance to that kit making much more than 500whp. Slapping a more powerful turbo on that kit is not the singular solution. The same can be said for the APS single turbo kit, which was never designed/intended to make 500+whp.

I think most would agree that if you want a more powerful single turbo kit, you are better off just getting the PowerLab kit, which has already been shown to make anywhere from 350whp on low boost on a stock block with the standard GT35R to 1,000whp on a built motor with a driver side header and a 76S turbo. So I don't see the need for these new Turbonetics turbos with the PowerLab kit. A more logical upgrade/option for the PowerLab kit would be the Precision billet turbos, although these are not a direct drop-in fitment. They require some modification to the downpipe and charge pipe.

Besides the Turbonetics kit, the only other kit that uses Turbonetics turbos is the SFR twin kit. And even Tim started offering Garrett and Precision turbos as an upgrade option. Bottom line is that most kit manufacturers and the top shops in the VQ community (including those in the 1,000+whp club) prefer Garrett and/or Precision turbos for high power builds.

 

cool... now someone body wake me when this thread actually has a car with this turbo to see how it performs?...

i wouldn't waste recourses on the existing discontinued TN kits....for what they can do...they are fine being the "used" budget less than 3.5K$ kits. Lets not try to make them be something they are not....they are build for a 380-410whp stock block...
Only thing id say is that i probably would still recommend them over ATIprocharger or stillen, or hks supercharge, or even vortech just cause it still put more power overall. (~100 lbs.tq more)

 

Hhhhhhmmmmmmm might have to switch out my GTK-650 for one of these in the future.
