Ugh oh, sounds like maybe an upgrade for the Vadermobile! Low mount short charge pipes, bigger turbo! Hmmm

Thanks guys.
Almost done waiting on build parts. GTX3576-R came in... it had the wrong compressor housing. For some reason I got the small 3" housing Sent the housing back and when the 4" comes in I will have it machined to be reduced down to 3" Anyone know why this ^ makes any sense? |

Bigger hot side for top end, smaller cold side for spool?

^ Let me rephrase that... Why would I send back the 3" housing for the 4" housing only to custom reduce it back down to 4"?

Something to do with air speed in terms of velocity? Compress more air through a smaller hole at higher speeds?
So basically its like changing compressor A/R without actually changing compressor A/R? Low boost setup? Last edited by chris keefe; 03-12-2013 at 12:22 AM. |

Why do you have to reduce it to 3"? It would be best if you could maintain the 4" all the way into the compressor. Junior kind of lectured both Layvon and I about not reducing intakes/ inlets to the compressors as you force the compressor to work harder.
I'm psyched that you are going to test the GTX3576 for the low mount! That should be a great turbo for the low mount. Fast spool and probably close to 500 WHP on pump gas! |

The actual inlet for most of us bigger turbo people is in the 2.2-2.4" size range. Take a look at the inlet of any 4" turbo and the inlet is anything but a smooth transition. It's actually pretty freaking horrible! So why Chris did the manufacturer's (and performance industry) in their great wisdom move from 3" to 4"? In one word, surge. The surge ports and surge characteristics are greatly improved on the large housings. This provides significant advantages in tunability and power capability lower in the revs where a 3" non-ported housing would have to be tuned around the surge line leaving power potential on the table. If my logic is making any sense here you can hopefully see where we're going here... Combining the best characteristics of both. A trumpeted 3" inlet with the 4" housing's surge ports. The theory made sense. I passed my designs to Garrett for input and according to software simulations the "Killer B Motorsport Compressor Housing Inlet Adapter" has improved surge capabilities even over the 4" inlet because the surge flow is much less turbulent. As well as marginal improvements in overall flow due to the smooth transition of oncoming air into the wheel. Now I'm not going to make it sound like it was all planned out this way, because it wasn't. Like many discoveries, I came across it entirely by accident when I decided to reduce the 4" inlet to 3" due to the small clearances around the inlet. It was really rubbing me the wrong way, but I figured if I've got the ear of Garrett engineering they'd be able to guide my path and/or let me know if this would be a problem to the point where I'd pull the plug on this kit. I was pleasantly suprised with the feedback I was given So there you have it... Or at least an understanding of what we did and why. I don't have back-to-back REAL dyno data to prove it, but I do have a kit on a car that makes more power, and sooner, than any kit I've seen with the same size turbo, fuel type, and comparable mods. The GTX3576 should definitely be interesting... better yet the TS GTX3576 should be even more so I'll give you partial credit on this one since a reduction in size does make a 1/2" offset from the original size |

So stoked to see more activity on this thread. This is one of two I'm subscribed to and my face lit up when I saw you posted. Very interested to see what's to come! Great work!

We just made a simple 3" intake tube from Vibrant parts, no MAF, velocity stack and big filter! I installed it before my touch up tuning with Junior yesterday. So now I have no restrictions from filter all that way out the dual exhaust! |

So would this modification work for all the garret 4" inlet turbos? I am ordering the gtx3076 with the 4" ported cover and im interested if this would help out.
If i understand correctly, is the nasty lip machined off to smooth aiflow in the 4" ported shroud? OR Is there a piece added to bell it out? |

So what were the final results? Any leaps in power or just cleaning things up a bit? Quote:
Here is a pic of an intouched 4" GT3076 And here's the GTX3071 housing modifications. CNC milled compressor housing with tapped holes (not thru) Here's the adapter I designed with feedback from garrett. CNC turned from solid billet aluminum. And the final product assembled. I'm going to be making another one of these inlet adapters in the next few weeks so if you, or anyone else, is insterested let me know and I can get pricing. |

If you're going to be experimenting with twinscroll of the same compressor turbine combination please plumb in a backpressure sensor or if you feel rich a shaft speed sensor. I know you're going to argue that it's not necessary for the average consumer, but your customers are not average anyway. The best test I've seen to date was done on the supra forums, but there were too many variables to draw strong conclusions. It's always good to have other data sets other than outcome data.
I don't have any comments on your designs and always enjoy your posts. I'm curious about your solutions to single wastegate twinscroll. |

The compressor flange looks to be v-band compatable, correct? Not to take anything away from this low mount kit but turbos spool so fast in the stock location or rotated stock location with your headers that it may be difficult to justify the cost of the low mount kit with smaller/ mid size turbos for the gains. I think this low mount will shine, the bigger you go turbo wise because the shorter piping will aid in spool up of the big guys! Kind of like what Junior is doing with the PTE6766 and his soon to be forward facing front mount location. Talk about short and efficient piping! I love what you're doing though and I'll bet the 3576 will shine on your kit! Think about the waste gate exhaust though, it's a shame to route it back into the down pipe and loose some of the gains. Look at the discussion in the external waste gate muffler thread that we have been having! I'll post up a link here. |

Plus one of the competing theories about the value of features like split pulse is the increased total volume from running two long secondaries to the stock location. One could argue that the increased volume would limit the effect. The idea is not so much low mount as it is reduced header volume while increasing efficiency. It just so happens that most designs will put the collector closer to the ports. |

I can't entirely disagree with the performance of our headers in stock location, but you can't compare your setup here. It's VERY different. You've got the long rod block, built D25 heads (with bigger valves to boot) , I'm going to guess no cat as well and probably a bunch of ther stuff too I've got a SB with forged pistons/rods and higher pressure valve springs in the heads with a catted exhaust. That's it. For comparison sake the kit makes more power sooner in the revs than a 3071 on any other kit (rotated or OEM location) I've seen and similar peak power to the bigger 3076. The bolt-on-ness and combination of streetability (super good spool characteristics) with 400whp capability was the goal. Maybe I'm shooting for the wrong demographic? Quote:
At 400whp I'm not concerned that I'm leaving a lot on the table power wise going recirc. The EWG has a long dump tube, it's is tied into the exhaust at an pleasurable angle, plus it is tied in after the cat. So the concern is going above 400whp and still being as quiet as the possible. An additional muffler on the gate is not the path I want to take. I'd MUCH rather run exhaust and EWG into a collector and appropriately size up the exhaust from there, say from 3" to 3.5" (or whater the math says it should be). I know the dual muffled setup works, but for some reason it's not tickling me the right way. More thought required Quote:

For now you'll have to have some faith and trust in that we cross our T's and dot our I's and hopefully the 'outcome data' will be all good. The TS single WG solution is pretty cool and it might even catch on as a fabrication piece for the DIYers out there. Or at least I think it's cool Our first cast part too. Basically right before the turbine housing it runs a port from each runner to the WG, so the WG port is split into two and runs into the exhaust runners, secondaries. It's tipped at an angle for good flow characteristics (can't say how much I DESPISE WG's stubbed in at 90°!). The divider goes into the WG all the way to the WG's valve for minimal cross contamination of gasses. It's made correctly to a T3. I say correctly because I ordered 2 different off-the-shelf T3 flanges and the profiles (specifically the corner radii) did not match the housing . It will also not require the squeezing, hammering or otherwise mashing of tube to fit a T3 flange, because it IS the flange. It goes from round to the rectangular-ish port shape in a nice smooth transition |

I still believe your low mount will really shine with the 35r size and bigger turbos. These are the turbos that really need the added help with spool on our Subarus! |

^ No worries, I love a good discussion/debate
Here's one I found on a quick search. The other car is OEM location and he is running catless. The ATP turbo has an IWG and I am running recirc so I'm not sure what kind of skew needs to be put on that one |
