Default turbo test fitting (GT35R)

A couple of pictures to share -
Test fitting the GT35R to the 16v ‘dummy’ engine…..looks kind of big!! The 3” down pipe doesn’t look that big due to the size of the turbo. That’s a 4” inlet in the front….

Chris: Now that downpipe is attached to a standard 3" exhaust system?

Same applies for the x-overpipe?

What about mounding the turbocharger? Edman and JChen did a lot of fabrications to just mount that turbo (unless you have something up your sleeve )

great work though!

It has Tim’s (SFR) stage 1 header and crossover pipe made up for the 16v head (stock diameter crossover piping) and the 3” down pipe goes into a full 3” exhaust.
The turbo has a different base welded on as well as the Vband flange on the down pipe connection. I also had to clearance the engine mounting arm a little.

Chris: As John (Porshhhh951) mentioned, you have GT kits? i never knew that.........

So, you are still testing the kits? would you be kind enough to mention what these kits would include, power ranges, prices, availablity and so on

Hey Chris,
Is that 16V running on the 106mm block ?
I had to shave quite alot off the engine mount.
Aaah, we run different intake set ups.
Is that a .64 AR hot housing that you're using ?

The original is 2.25 inch ID. Maybe going up to
2.5 would be good but I think 3 inch may create
turbo lag. What's the point of going 3 inch when
in turbine inlet flange is small.
