Looks good. No ceramic on the turbine housing? 5 degree clip should keep the initial hit right there so you get the stock feel to it. Looking good.

[b29pb]

what's the clipped turbine for?

[BlackMS3]

It's ridiculous how small that thing looks.....

[TurboWagon]

^Think that is small, look at the turbo on a 1.8t. There are hairdryers larger than that.

So this "reworked" stock turbo, what are the advantages to what you have done to modify it?

[bmman93]

SHOOT LOOK AT VR4 3000GT TURBO ITS SMALLER THEN THE K03 ON A 1.8T LOL THERE IS TO BUT GRANTED THEY ARE SMALL

i thought there was a samll one for low rpm boost and a bigger one for higher rpm power, you sure there are 2 identical?

[subparpunk03]

Tru Boost, what EMS are you using?

I'm wondering if this is going to work well with the AP reflash, guess I'll be the guinnea pig.

[redrocketz]

hell the turbo on a Mazdaspeed Miata is tiny as shit my fist is bigger.

he has none. We'll be putting it on next week sometime.

[subparpunk03]

putting on the turbo or ems?

Any ideas on whats gonna happen with the upgraded turbo and no EM?

[redrocketz]

the Turbo sorry. We will see how the turbo does on it's own and go from there. we will more than likely have dynos also.

[AutoXRacer]

I'd predict that you'd have a slight decrease in available fuel...thus your AFR will lean out. Whether it will be enough to have concerns...who knows.

But I'd venture to say as long as you stay with stock boost, you should be fine... (of course with an upgraded fuel pump which should be a standard mod by the way)

We'll have to wait and see...

[shucky]

thats kinda funny Zach, you have Neil's car as your avatar. How cute lol ...

[redrocketz]

look at the stripe. I took that picture.

[TRU-BOOST]

turbo should be on next week. Zach and i plan on taking care of it as well as my CS downpipe. i will be waiting a week or 2 for the dyno though. this is a major mod to just slap on a stock ecu car. i will drive it a while and let the fuel trims get settled for a while. once that happens and i have successfully beaten the piss out of it on the street a few times, i will hit up my guys at P&L for a dyno.

that.... or you can throw a GT30, manifold, and inlet on the car. Push it over to the dyno, after it had sat for three two weeks.... let it idle 5 minutes and then start making pulls... lol Make sure its at least the third one before you boost 25... make a few more before you figure out the boost control.... finally set in at 18psi, tune it with a piggyback, and drive it the fuck home....fast....with a dyno sheet in your hand.

Just another option.... worked for me. for the last two months, racing around.... Ive often wondered if I should have "broke it in more"

[winniep]

I thought blue lining it WAS breaking it in

Quoted for troof, upgraded fuel pump should be standard, before racepipe and cai even because this car has so many fuel problems. I am just waiting to see what ptp comes up with, and wasting money on other mods in the time being, lol.

You want to talk about small turbos? Anybody ever see the turbo on the .7L Smart car? My goodness.

It takes talent to doublepost 2.5 hours apart!

[winniep]

Those things actually have turbos? How "smart" is that?

Hahaha, wow, my internet has been really... laggy lately. I almost just ordered a pair of shoes 2 times for it, too.

The smart car is an odd little car. You can even hear the bypass valve if you listen carefully.

redrocketz, Im about to order shifter bushings, is the price you offer to members a little less than advertised on your site?

[94jedi]

Did someone say small turbo??? Here's my k03 vs my 50trim T3/T4 .48 a/r

and here's the finished product...for grins: cell phone pics FTL

[winniep]

Look at the AR on that thing! It's teeny tiny compared to that big ole 50 trim. Man I bet that thing spools up fast as hell though . If only they would offer a 50 trim for the MS3. I think it would be an excellent match for this car. It does wonders on an SRT-4

yea, the k03 spooled fast alright...full boost by idle lol. The 50 trim was awesome. for a "big turbo" it wasn't too laggy with the small-ish .48 exh. a/r. I had full boost (21psi) by 3900 or so. It was very rough though. when boost hit, it was like warp speed haha.

all we would need to run a 50 trim on this car is tuning (that's a given), a t3 flanged manifold and I guess that's it really. It was oil cooled only so I just re-routed the coolant lines back to the engine. Is there enough room back there? I'm sure the turbo would have to be clocked differently than my setup to make it work but I think it's doable. too bad I can't weld for shit lol.

edit* the down pipe would have to be custom as well...

[TRU-BOOST]

ok guys this week for sure..... my downpipe took 4ever to get to me. i have it in hand and i am ready to roll !! you ready Zach ?

[ptperformance]

Waiting, thanks.

[redrocketz]

we still doing this tomorrow?

[winniep]
