I wouldn't even put that in my car. Looks too good. I'd just get a glass case and display it in my living room.

 

Tight work Foxer 10, . ? in regards to exhaust side of your turbo did you have it jet-hot-ted or did you purchase it already done. I'm purchasing my turbo this month to start the fab work and was wanting to jet-hot my turbo also and did'nt find anyone out there coating them, your intel would be appriciated.

 

Thanks guys!! Appreciate the feedback.

Yep its a GT3037R (aka GT30R or GT3076R). From the dynos i have seen, this turbo give massive mid-range. Being on a stock block, im shooting for 400+ whp.

The manifold, turbine housing, & downpipe is HPC coated. This is their 1200 version which is available in polished finish. Dont know how much i paid for the HPC as it was a kit price, but go to http://www.hpcoatings.com/, as they have pricing online.

passmans2kny, lol, install your stuff already, I want to see what the 2.2 would do against me

BMACMAC, I did HPC cause its a little more affordable. Jet Hot is probably the best one available as far as coatings BUT its expensive. Jet Hot demonstrates their coating by smacking it with a hammer and it will never chip!

 

I can hardly wait until mine starts shipping

 

Actually I think it would have been better if you would have not coated the DP because you want the air to cool faster coming out of the turbo.

Am I right on this?

 

*not expert*

having a lower temp as exhaust is exiting will help keep engine bay -a little- cooler...but the cooler exh. gases will move slower through the rest of the exh. system which ends up being a negative

 

so dont coat the down pipe?

 

that's the GT30R that I've been telling you to get. BTW, I found a used Mini-Me manifold for you. Call me!!

 

That's not true...you must realize that the exhaust gases are slowed down tremendously trying to go through the turbines in the first place. You are spinning a fairly heavy inertial mass up to 40,000rpm using just exhaust gases. It takes a lot of energy to reach that point. Going through the blades reduces exhaust gas energy and energy = heat. Simple chem/physics PV=nRT

Lowering temps post turbo reduces pressure (by reducing volume) which can actually promote flow.

 

BTW, it looks really nice

I hate how the F20/F22C can only get 3 bolts out of 4 on most engine stands.
