GT35R install

I am going with the 3" intake/ 2" output housing on the compressor and an external wg setup.

What are people using for their intake filter setup? I was hoping to use the stock intake/airbox. Happy to ditch it if I need to though as long as there is a proven mod.

Has anyone got any info on it? Some pics of an install would be great.

I want to keep stock ac and the battery in its location. Am aware there is some ac bracket grinding to be done.

Thanks,

Re: GT35R install

I relocated the battery to the back and used a ATR air box. Also vented it to the outside buy using a firebird drivers fender vent, turned it upside down and installed it in the pass, fender. Works great!

Re: GT35R install

Here's mine that I am using with my PTE 70MM:

It is a carbon copy of the setup that I was using when I was still stock turbo:

air_intake.sized.jpg

"DIY air intake K&N filter, Bob Galla turbo to IC pipe and HKS SSBOV. Remote trans filter w/trans temp gauge sender is below air filter."

I had to remake the air filter to turbo coupler because I expanded the original one slightly so that it would have a better seal on the stock orange elbow:

"3" mill finish tubing for K&N air filter to turbo intake tube before and after polishing."

The first one was made of stainless steel, my current one is aluminum. The "Cobra elbow" is pretty much the universal choice for the large aftermarket turbo crowd. Space is a luxury behind the passenger side headlight. Usually the diehards that want to retain a stock looking truck but wish to run a much larger turbo realize pretty quick that isn't going to happen here...

The sooner that you loose that plastic cross over pipe the better IMHO. It is well know to crack and take out turbos when it does:

"Stock turbo killer, a broken cross over pipe discovered at the dyno during the '03 NATS."

All it takes is one piece of plastic to break off under boost and your new turbo is toast

Re: GT35R install

Thanks Mike, that is great info.

I had my piece of plastic destroy tho original stock turbo and wouldn't be surprised if it was the reason behind my damaged 20G. You guys are right - I am going to ditch it.

Looks like I am going to have to go with the setup you have there or something similar.

The other thing is I need to get an aluminium pipe :D)or something similar to connect to Waller's upgraded W2A IC so i can get a BOV on there. Was it Mrweeler having probs with too much turbo backpressure?

Has anyone got a GT35R with Waller's W2A? If they could mock up an ali tube or even make it with the BOV then I would be interested - think I'll put that in the Wanted section....

Is there any filter setup where you could dispense with the 90 degree elbow etc, maybe just have a big flat dish over the turbo?

Could someone measure the radius from the centre of the turbo to the stock fan and the depth between the turbo and any obvious obstruction. A lot of them seem to be 3", meaning there is a bit of space I reckon if people are using 4" elbow?

- what about putting one of these on or something similar. Got to be a way of making that work right?

airfilteroverturbo.jpg


3" height, 8 inch radius. Only concern is the fan (keeping stock one)and maybe some hoses.

I would love to keep the battery in the same place, or move it as little as possible. Looks like some fab is required and I just don't have access to those resources.

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks guys! Merry Christmas :cmas:

Re: GT35R install

I just have a screen over my 35r. I had to grind my a/c bracket a little to get it to fit.

Do you know of any videos of this BOV in operation? Or how about the BV 50MM? I would like to hear how it sounds when it vents to the atmosphere before I buy...

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I'm horrible about staying up on happenings here. Anyway...

This is a video of the 50mm that we'd made on our WRX when Synapse first came out and started attacking TiAL. He had made some videos of our BV with the wrong spring, claiming that our products were crap, and his were superior to every other product on the market.

The fact of the matter is, we make the best wastegates and blow-off valves in the world. We make them in Owosso, Michigan, with American materials. Synapse products are proudly stamped "Made in China."

As far as I know, there isn't any publicly available video footage of the Q valve yet, but I'll do my best to keep syty.net posted... if you all are interested in that sort of thing.

Thanks for the link

. That BOV looks and sounds pretty sweet :cool:. I like my HKS Super Sequential but the sound it makes is a little on the ricey side to me... If I end up purchasing a Tial BOV down the road, could you get me the dimensions of the mounting flange ;)? I imagine that you have buy a mounting flange separately. However due to the radius I'm going to have to work around, I'm going you cut a hardpipe with the flange integrated into it...

What kind of screen? Do you DD it or just the track? Are your wheel wells in there?

Thanks - that could solve my problems - I was just worried the screen might act as a restriction.....

Re: GT35R install

My wheel wells were out in that pic because i was working on the truck. We have the tial 50mm on the supra. On an auto they don't sound like much but to be honest i installed it for mechanical reasons not for sound. The valve does a great job ridding your charge pipe of the air rather than escaping back through the turbo and damaging it. If you want a more noticable sound i would not use this valve unless you have a manual car. The valve moves a huge amount of air through many openings reducing it's typical blow off valve sound.

Re: GT35R install

yeah I agree - the whole "sound" thing is a bit gay.

I am not keen to destroy a turbo so that is the only reason a BOV is going on there.

Can you tell me more about the screen though please?

Re: GT35R install

not much to say about it. I just took a strong piece of screen material and placed it on the inlet. I then cut a rubber coupler and slid it over the inlet and installed a t-bolt camp on it. The ty rarely comes out so i am not worried about debris getting in there.

Re: GT35R install

In case anyone was still interested, we have new video of our Q wastegate, which flows 60% more than our original 50mm and 40% more than any other bypass valve on the market.

Here is our video page, which isn't extremely easy to navigate to on our site.

Enjoy. I hope this addresses some concerns.
