A pair of cross drilled brake lines will be a fine addition

EODMonkey 02-20-2012 03:08 PM

you too? i have a similar muffler bearing on mine. i do so love it

B4C 02-20-2012 04:35 PM

Yup, I'm still putting mine together. Its acutally a 76mm not a 72 like I thought. 76mm compressor wheel, 68mm turbine wheel) , dual ceramic ball bearings, t3-twin scroll, .84ar's, 4in inlet and outlet. Had 2 dyno pulls on it the guys Honda couldn't spool it until 6k. Going to swap the exhaust housing for a standard t4. I didn't like the no name turbo that came with the sts kit

EODMonkey 02-20-2012 05:30 PM

i went with a precision 76mm but i'm keeping my divided flange and goin with a spool valve.. are you sure its a twin scroll and not just a divided flange?

B4C 02-20-2012 07:10 PM

Same thing? Are you running a rear mount too? I couldn't pass this one up so low.miles and its was almost half price. You really think your going to need the spool valve

EODMonkey 02-20-2012 08:03 PM

not really from my understanding. twin scroll has two paths to the turbine wheel for the exhaust gas to flow one for low velocity one for high. divided flange is just a flange with a bar in the middle to smooth turbulent air (exhaust pulses). right now i build boost between 2500 and 3000 and 14lbs at about 3800. i'd like to see what it'll do to how fast i can build boost

What kind of horsepower are u making? What short block are you running? I planned on 10psi Max on my stock lq4 shortblock

EODMonkey 02-20-2012 08:31 PM

havent dyno'd it yet but i'm still breaking the tires free in 2nd gear with 295 kdw2's and a full car load. its an ls1 with a scat forged 383 rotating assembly

B4C 02-20-2012 08:43 PM

I would love to check ur car out sometime, my exhaust system worrys me tho long tubes with 3in y.

EODMonkey 02-20-2012 08:47 PM

yea, its too big. 2.5in max or you're gonna take forever to spool and make no power. where are you from?

B4C 02-20-2012 08:49 PM

I was planning.on having it all ceramic coated and heat wraped, I'm in Williamstown.

EODMonkey 02-20-2012 09:11 PM

i'm in freehold. i'll take some pics n vids n send them to you

B4C 02-21-2012 07:56 AM

Hows the ground clearance with the 76mm rear mount?

EODMonkey 02-21-2012 11:18 AM

about 4 inches.. just enough for a fist

LTb1ow 02-21-2012 04:31 PM

I'll take your silly rear mount turbonetics and raise you a front mount precision.

Where is there room for that in the engine bay

LTb1ow 02-21-2012 06:42 PM

Well thats the fun part! :lol:

B4C 02-21-2012 06:53 PM

I was thinking.of doing a front mount and putting it where the battery is, but I would like to keep my AC. Still might do a front mount tho

LTb1ow 02-21-2012 06:56 PM

Mine can keep AC if you want.

B4C 02-21-2012 07:32 PM

Are you using a kit?

LTb1ow 02-21-2012 07:33 PM

Yes

B4C 02-21-2012 07:56 PM

What kit

LTb1ow 02-21-2012 07:56 PM
