Oil changes are no problem at all. None of the tubing interferes with the oil filter. The system is designed to run a t3 style exhaust housing, we have never tried to fit a t4 yet. We have turbos with t3 style housings all the way up to a 76mm p-trim, with any a/r ex housing that you want. We mounted the turbo in that location to make room for the manifold and also to get it away from the fuse box and the motor. When you have all of that stuff in the same area, it just leads to more problems (heat).

wouldnt a T3 rear housing restrict alot of exhaust from going into the turbo?

who makes your t76 with a t3 back?

 

Only with tubular manifolds is that extra heat a problem.

Inline Pro has the manifold next to the fusebox, even though theres is an equal length log-based design, but they don't have heat issues with the fuse box at all.

 

Nice turbo kit. there are many other turbo kits with a similar turbo placement.

 

There is still just as much heat from a log manifold. Maybe even more because the log manifold is more restrictive and it holds in MORE heat than a tubular manifold. It looks like the HP kit utilizes some type of ceramic coating so it shouldnt get too hot. I have still heard of people melting a fusebox even with the inline pro kit. The S2000 holds in a lot of heat under the hood. No matter what turbo kit I go with I am going to be heat wrapping most of the stuff on the passenger side just to be careful.

 

Unless you want more than 600whp then no, you can make plenty of power with a T3 hotside. Hell, you can get a T3 hotside with a 1.06 a/r that would maybe even support more than 600whp. Just depends on what you want. I dont see many people asking for more than 600whp though...

 

I would have to disagree with you on that. Direct comparison between my log manifold, and my friends Full-Race and LoveFab GT1 Manifold would lead me to believe that a tubular manifold makes more heat. Think about it for a sec, the tubular manifolds have a lot more surface area in comparison to a log style manifold. My friends Full-Race manifold has melted lots of things under the hood, and that was already with their coating and lots of heat wrap etc...

 

I understand that. the bigger housing would also be to acomodate a larger rear wheel. but you still would need the exhaust gas to push it. whats the point on having a big turbo but not letting it breathe?

what t76 comes with a t3 back housing though>

 

well yes, its hotter because its bigger. But the log manifold is actually hotter if we are gonna get technical. The log manifold is more restrictive, and because of that it holds in more pressure and that in turn means it holds in more heat. having said that though, the tubular manifold is a lot larger so of course its going to produce more overall heat....but the log is still hotter

 

why you would want to mismatch a 76mm compressor wheel with a T3 is beyond me.
