bump who wants 400whp+ reliable power

[SleeperHatch]

Can you give us a list of exactly everything that would need to be purchased for a GTX 3071?

[EdgeAutosport.com]

Well if you are fully bolted already which includes, intake,fuel pump/internals,tmic or fmic and full 3 inch turbo back exhaust and Cobb AP or CPE Stand back to really benefit the a maximize the upgrade of a big turbo.

The only thing to order is a atp gtx drop in kit and big turbo inlet and you would be good to break the 400whp mark with a solid tune.

[SleeperHatch]

Great so all i need is GTX turbo kit and inlet

[RyansSpd3]

Running BT is it a good idea to upgrade clutch to handle torque? Do you think it's a bad idea to daily drive a 400hp bt setup?

Ed Zachary!

[crazyp]

do you guys only sell GT30 series turbos?

any precision, Borg warner, etc. journal vs ball bearing.

I had a garret fail on me recently and the fact I cant really rebuild it sucks

Great question, I have 450whp and I have 15+ dyno pulls, several track visits and several autox events. On top of that I commute 100 miles to my job everyday and have yet to have problem.

As of today I just turned 65k and my clutch is holding just fine, It may be in my head that its getting a tad soft but its not slipping in the least bit. Only time will tell and I will keep this updated. I have about 10k on my bt build and the previous 30k were spent with 330whp and 380wtq.

Yes we do packages (anything you need we can put together for you) and a turbo that would do well in that range would be a 3071r

Im also on stock internals on my power levels and the car loves it.

[blkspeed307]

^^^so u recommend a 3071r, completely drop in with stock mani.

[RyansSpd3]

Thanks for the great info...are you on stock engine internals? Rods, pistons, etc.

[EdgeAutosport.com]

yup that would make great dd power and still have awesome spool.

Im on stock everything and about to install n20 to really see what our stock blocks can handle.

[blkspeed307]

Can u pm $ on 3071r , that's next purchase after fp internals
Thanks

I wonder how much a Steedspeed Mani would net a GTX setup over the stock EM?

Thats a great question, I run a prototype Steed Speed mani and my buddy and I run roughly run the same mods minus he runs meth and I dont and I made 37whp more then he did.

Its really up in the air and to many variables but the definitly flow much better then stock.

I will hopefully, eventually be able to answer this question. I'll be upgrading to the steedspeed before too long...

[blkspeed307]

Think I won't be going beaner stg3 now after pm
Gtx ftw
Thanks

[JTMS3]

PM me the pricing for the drop in 3071r Xmas is around the corner and maybe the misses will drop more than her panties for me.

Wow, that's impressive and well worth the $ IMHO. Is this prototype different than his standard flanged mani that's available now?

I'm definitely looking to stay IWG.

Well the difference is that I have the mani with the interchangable flanges and the manifolds that are available now are actually supposed to flow more then the manifold im running currently. I could see them doing 40whp+ with the new design

We are also having a super duper sale on these new drop in atp GTX turbo kits for 1,649.00 shipped!!!!!

pm me if you want one!

[SleeperHatch]

How long is this "sale"?

[SSinstaller]

Will the GTX35 CHRA work with my standard GT35 compressor and turbine housings?

[RyansSpd3]

Holy crap keep that awesome price by spring 2012...thats my realistic goal of going bt

[EdgeAutosport.com]

As long as you need

I spoke to atp not to long ago and unfortunately we can not just send in our regular model GT turbo and have them make it into a GTX. The good news is they are looking into that so hopefully it will be able to happen sooner then later.

will do sir

[adlpb]

So Eric, how much for the whole package (GTX3071 + cp-e BT inlet)?

BTW, thanks for this thread

[Alpha]

So all the creep and IWG issues are solved now even with the higher flowing GTX series'?

That was really my only hesitation before...

pm'd thanks for reading it.

Yeah no creep what so ever. These turbos rock man soon enough will I be seeing a gtx35r in my bay but dont tell JP

[8.5MS3]

^^that plus all necessary lines, gaskets, manifold options and a boost controller if required

ex: Steedspeed mani, new exhaust manifold gasket/dp gasket/mani-turbo gasket, gtx3071, necessary coolant/oil lines w/fittings, cpe whale dick tip for a total of XXXX dollars

[trf5000]

Yea that is my question as well. How is boost control working with these IWG on these ATP turbos? Is anyone having any boost control issues?

Edit* NVM, answered b4 I could post haha

[adlpb]

Eric, another question that just came to mind. I think you might also have to replace your MAP controller, as the stock one only reads accurately up to ~22psi (granted your tune goes above this level).

Also, wouldn't it be recommendable to buy an EBCS?


Edit did mean to click edit your post i meant to do it on mine lol

These kits will include brand new 8.8 hardened studs, self locking 15mm nuts, oil return line, new banjo bolts for the oil feed and coolant return utilizing stock hard lines with those and the full brand new coolant to egr line.

I reused my stock gaskets as they are metal and all the kits I have installed and no one has yet to have any problems with them leaking. Also one last thing to order would be a 45* coupler 2''-2.5'' to fit from the turbo to hot pipe so its a direct bolt-up with your fmic



This is another great question, you are correct the stock map sensor only reads to 22 psi but I still run it without a hitch. To compensate all you need is a accurate boost gauge and to up the boost an mbc (i run the grimmspeed) or an ebcs. DJ (djuosnteisn) runs the same 2.5 and he is planning for 30+ psi so really it comes down to personal preference

ttt who has more questions even if they are complete noob questions we all started somewhere!

bump

[RyansSpd3]

So about the intake..if going bt all i need is a bigger TIP and the rest of the intake can remain the same? I have a mazdaspeed CAI
