Nope, you remember wrong, that was with a off of the shelf 35R kit.

 

FYI, Buschur's 'off the shelf' 35R kit IS the fp3065 with Buschur's cast manifold. I have one sitting here next to me. It is a pretty sweet kit with everything polished or high temp ceramic coated. It is also a cast manifold which retains the stock heat shield - VERY helpful for us CA guys where the police are fond of pulling cars over and demanding to inspect the engine for modifications. Buschur's kit also includes the fan, Tial 44mm and a bunch of other stuff.

 

Intersting. I think Buschur could cut costs even further by using a smaller wastegate. The 38mm or 40mm would do and is much cheaper than the 44m. Maybe he uses it because its V-band though...

 

i dont agree with the comment of it being a dog.

we run ours on pump 94 at 25 psi, and its pretty hellacious.

Ill have dyno numbers soon....

but it slips the stage 3+ spec clutch (that we are taking out)....

and spins all four tires on a roll on in second.

I still agree with him. Yes the 35R can make good power on pump it is quite laggy and the powerband wont be nearly as good as a quicker spooling turbo with a little less topend... like a 50trim... I think thats a much better choice if youre just running pump gas.

I will be going 50trim or 3065 with alcohol.

 

Consider a 3076r also. Nice turbo. So far with a conservative tune on pump, I made 397whp on 23psi. I have a .82 back housing although I dont have a AEM ecu to log spool up , I think it on about 4500rpm. I am getting my Meth kit in a couple of weeks. Oh Yeah I am running a Flash!

 

I'm also stuck between the 35r and the 3065. I'm leaning towards the 3065, as I am looking for a nice turbo for the road course, and this seems to be the kit!

 

he's making 378 whp on the stock turbo on 93 octane only. he's gona drop all that money for turbo and supporting mods to go up 20whp on pump?

the 3065 will make more top-end than the 3076 but spool a lil bit faster than the 35r....considering how a lot of tuners are saying take the 35r because the lag is almost as bad with less topend on the 3076 , the 3065 seems like a good compromise.

 

FP3065 is what I have on my Eclipse on a completely stock 7-bolt motor minus minus MLS gasket/ARP studs/FP2 cams...spool on a 11.1:1 a/f with stock timing map that peaks at 16degrees (pump 93octane w/680cc of meth @20psi) I got 25psi at 4200rpms.

The FP3065 is a Garett CHRA center section with a GT40 intake wheel and GT30 exhaust wheel mated to a Mitsu manifold, (no need for an aftermarket exhaust manifold -nice when money's an issue and a ported 2G manifold flows pretty damn well), and utilizes a .63 a/r hot side.

The "GT35R" is very similar except it uses a GT40 intake wheel and a GT35 exhaust wheel with a .83/1.01 a/r on the hot side.

The GT35R with a T4 exhaust side, (the only GT35R I'd recommend as the T3 exhaust side is worthless as it restricts flow at high boost/rpm), definately lags a lot more than the "smaller" counterpart -FP3065. Although it lags a bit more, because of the larger flowing exhaust housing and a/r flows a lot more hp at high rpms.

So it depends if you want a hwy/track car vs. a more "streetable" setup. Both make great power, (though both rated at 60lbs./min = ~600fly hp, the 3065 seems to taper off at around 550whp as the straight Garett GT35r T4 seems to make closer to 600-630whp.

Hope that helps...and FYI neither turbo starts to make NOTICEABLE power till you push upwards of 22-25psi.

 

I actually wont be considering that 3076 because I really have not seen any impressive numbers. From what I gather, the 50 trim spools faster and the norm seems to be 415-450whp on pump alone, with 475-500whp on meth/93 or race gas.

I dont know your supporting mods so I wont make assumptions but I think I could make 397whp with my setup right now with just adding alcohol/meth.

Your numbers should go up sigfinicantly with the meth.

 

At some point the T3 housing does reach its limitations, but there are quite a few cars running around with the 'worthless' T3 housing running over 30psi efficiently and with upwards of 600whp.

 

Oh don't get me wrong, I would just prefer a T4 vs. a T3 exhaust housing if I wanted the most efficient hp for a track/hwy car.

 

Thanks for all the responses guys....

I just wanna say that I mainly drive the car on the street....

what I'm currently doing is 93 + methanol all the time. I'd like to have at least 420-430 TQ in the low-mid range and whatever power I can make safely on the stock bottom end up top.....

Even with my set-up I'm satisfied with the power i have for driving around town OFF boost...

but when it hits boost I want it to pull like crazy and beat everyone that I can on the highway...

It also would be nice to have a turbo that responds well for road racing .....but mainly I likie to have my fun on the highway.

 

Yeah I'd have to agree on the T3 flanged gt35r being the wrong way to go. If anything, I would only get a t3 inlet gt35r, and if I wanted to go to a t4 inlet I would go to a bigger turbo....
