Turbo Upgrade Kits

[91_two]

Yeah nowdays if you have $2000 and then some can get you anything from a gt28rs/2871, td0x, gt30xx. All within hundreds of eachother. Comes down to what you want/what vendor you want to go with. Also where you want your power.

some people cant seem to do that.

mr2ya, you're arguing with one of MR2Board's most knowledgeable members. Sang has done nothing since he's been here but try and help members to the best of his ability. He does it for the person he's helping, not for himself. I'd really suggest that if you don't want advice, don't ask for it. I'd hate to see someone like Sang get fed up with the community and not stick around because of a thread like this one.

[mr2ya]

sorry but
everything i have said is how i feel
and is what ive learned over the years
I have very good contacts (i mean close friends in the biz)
and alot of import knowledge in general myself (not just mr2's)
never asked advice. got it all figured out (most all)
can not say this about beams engine (dont know much about it)
this is why i even signed up
i've not been on board long
but have owned my mr2 7-8 yrs.
just can not tell someone
yeah go buy greddy kit for $2000 you'll be happy.
when better solutions are out there
thought thats what this board was all about.
helping people not make the same mistakes
we may have made.
maybe im wrong

Yeah It's a road race car and I take the philosophy keeping the revs low to reduce the heat in the tranny and motor. The 16g should by far outflow the stock dying CT26 that was on there. And when I need to upgrade to a GT turbo all I need to do is order a bolt-on setup from Slowboy for $1100.00 and change it out in one day. Then I'd have a $1424.00 Ball bearing GT turbo on my MR2 with a 3" downpipe that I built myself. Of course the stock manifold becomes a restriction at some point.

On the track that I race at I felt myself punching a lot from 3rd gear at 3-3200 rpms. WIth a larger turbo I'd be downshifting through these sections and stabbing from a higher rpm, which surely would be harder to drive.

Funny thing is, I had the intercooler piping from my EVO (and an HKS SS BOV) and made it all work with a stock layout boost elbow from the 16g and the Ebay knockoff interecooler piping.

I don't think anyone here is going to beat my car around a track for $4000.00 total investment since the car was only 700.00

It's kinda Ironic, I sell my LS6 powered RX-7 to a guy in Prague and replaced it with an MR2 turbo racecar AND and EVO. haha.

Thank God for inginuity.

Can you please give me a direct quote when I said that to you? If I recall, I even specifically said kits greddy puts together are crap.

The point of my posts were, and has been, that greddy "turbos" are not bad. That does not mean go buy a greddy kit, you can go to hahn racecraft and buy the same turbo for less money.

[mr2ya]

like i said with this kit
or any kit based around this turbo......(I EVEN SAID THIS TURBO OR a KIT WITH THIS TURBO)
you did however bring other problems to my attention
i didn't know about w/greddy kit.
kit really does suck out load then.

i think harrisracing is getting what i meant.
wondering
is the 16g alot more pounchy than ct26

[mr2ya]

point is greddy turbo in?
its not that bad
BUT
isn't that good
either.

kid asks you, you got a mr2 wright.
I say yes.
kid asks, what turbo should i get for my mr2
as of about 6yrs. ago
the first option that pops to mind
is not GREDDY or TD06 based kit

[mr2ya]

[quote]lol...I guess all MHI turbos suck then, since that's what greddy uses.

need i say more

[mr2ya]

specifically said kits greddy puts together are crap.

like i said if you get a deal on something GOOD go for it
but to suggest to someone go buy this kit or turbo
new for MSRP
Iagree not many graphs at all on the 3071 im refering to
as with the .50a/r cold side is a fairly new item
so may be in someways smaller than TD06 (not sure)
still has around same or more peak power

MSRP on our TD06 is $2100 The GT kits (3082 3582) are $2400-2500...

It's impossible (and useless) to compare DIY prices, because everyones situation is different.

The .50 a/r 56trim 3071 you mentioned... what exhaust wheel? 53.8mm, 56.5mm or 60mm? Only the 60mm is a true GT30, the others will choke on the exhaust side long before the compressor will.

I love the TD06, it's incredibly reliable, and affordable. That said, my current project is a twinscroll 3076. I like the GT stuff too ;-) It was a very hard decision. I was very tempted to just go the 3082 route, make my 560 wheel and be happy, but I gotta do things different apparently...

[mr2ya]

60mm

[mr2ya]

not gt28 with gt30 wheel in it
as there are many version's of gt30
3071, 76, 82, 88, list goes on

[mr2ya]

DIY turbo kit.
there is a little more skill needed.

but prices im suggesting are all retail
as you can find deals on everything

haveing a friend that has a chop saw
and can weld halfway decent is needed
and no not everyone has such friends

you should not under take this DIY idea
if such friends are not available to you
or if it can't be done yourself

[mr2ya]

ats
and koracings.
dyno charts
will prove all

[mr2ya]

nothing else to say??????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????

[mr2ya]

guess nobody wants to argue bout stuff they dont know about...............
LOL
your winner mr2ya

any ?'s about trim, reading a flow chart, how a/r effects your turbo on hot or cold side,
or any other turbo related ?'s
fill free to ask.. as if i dont have an answer
my friend of 13 years with a DEGREE IN FLUID AND AIR FLOW does....................

told you, you were calling out the wrong guy........................
one must learn before one can teach.............

[canadam]

Please stop posting, you're only annoying people now. If you were truly more intelligent than the people you're arguing with, your posts would be coherent.
