Who here might be interested in ........

I know a GT35R would be a crazy turbo on the contour. Spools faster than a T3/T4 anyways.

Hmm...are really you sure??
:idea:

Their bearing turbos are also almost twice the cost of the journal turbos, which would defeat the purpose of these "budget" kits.

 

[warmonger]

You are correct. However, it is not just bearings that affect the spool time, it is the mass of the rotating assembly. A light weight assembly on journal bearings with a small trim housing could easily out-spool a GT35R if someone chose to run it.

There are 3-4 major factors that affect spool time so that is why I take the customers desires into account when sizing it.
You can choose to buy a ball-bearing T3/4 if you want, or any other type if you wish to pay the difference.
If you have certain criteria you want to meet, then tell us what those criteria are and we'll size a turbo for your kit. If we can't meet the requirement without a ball-bearing turbo then we'll talk one-on-one to figure it out. Costs may change though.

anyway we can get zero lag? or spool time

Sure... VVT, or stay Naturally Aspirated; Either one.

If you choose the VVT, then you need to do the prototyping on your own, though.. LOL

ZERO? Why don't you settle for not-noticeable. lol
If zero lag is your goal then we can almost meet that but you will not have a real good top-end pull.

You guys should have parkedcar make up some nautilus performance stickers. I'd rep it for sure.

Not much you can do about the heat. Lots of airflow is all you can do. Just don't run as much boost in the city and then run more when you get on the highway and intake temps come down.
Invest in an intake air temperature gauge. Autometer sells a two-channel gauge or a single channel gauge. It was invaluable to me.

H.
Just so you all know, all deposits for the kits will have to be done by check instead of paypal.
Please look in the thread about deposits for the group buy for details.

Thanks.

i was thinking the same thing. Crispy at NECO has worked closely with Intricate Lines to produce a variety of vinyl body art for the Cougar.

I'm hoping, since I'll be moving down there in the next few months, that I have dibs on this honor.

 

[warmonger]

Well we're definitely interested.

Guys, check the pics and videos thread for a shot of the completed turbo kit!

does the price tag of $2825 for stage 1 include shipping or no?

 

[BurritaSVT]

shiping not included but if you want it shipped I am doing it for $100 with insurance FedEx

 

[my98SVTturbo]

how many hours labor does this kit call for install?

 

[RawBurt]

Joey gave a rough breakdown earlier in this thread.

 

[yamaha racer 686]

what gauges should you get when getting this kit?

 

[RawBurt]

That was also discussed in this thread.

I'm running Boost, wideband, pyrometer, oil pressure and volts.
