GT Series Turbo Questions.

There is a couple... but I have never been to ether one. I had an appointment to go to a place, then that shop closed down. I know that National Speed in Wilmington is supposed to be good.

That sucks about the PG headers. I need to order some headers i am thinking about going with the DNP?

[JimmyMac]

Well the PG manifold might be here by next weekend maybe. But I'll be out of state Saturday. Might do the install Sunday. But I have 5 mid-term essay's due the following week. So if not next weekend, maybe the next. Although I do have 3 days off of school. So maybe? I'll post up any results and how the GT28 responses to it. Tonight I spiked up to 24psi. I think that happens when I run up too high in the rpms to shift. I try to keep my shifts under 6000rpms to hit a sweet spot for the next gear. Usually the spikes are 22 psi.

Anyways, I'll look up that Wilmington shop. Thanks for the info.

Manifold finally arrived Friday. Installed it friday night. Here's the pic of the PG manifold with ceramic coating by Jet-Hot. (posted this pic in the PG threads) Now I can start to get down and dirty with some SB tuning. Then off to the dyno. Gotta wait for decent weather though...

[7mileshome]

Nice... Looks good. How hard was it to get the stock manifold off?

[JimmyMac]

Well for me, getting the stock manifold off with the stock turbo was a piece of cake. However, with the GT turbo, it's kinda a pain in the ass because of the studs sticking out of the head and the big fat compressor housing on the GT turbo. I played dumb and didn't unbolt the dp from the turbo. So I had to man handle the manifold out of there. I didn't bother taking off the valve cover either. It may seem impossible. But I found a way to get the PG manifold in there. Kinda like the preschool ball with shaped holes in it, and you had to put the correct block into the correct hole to fit it in there.

I wish the weather would warm up so I can head out to tune the car some. I'll play with it this weekend. Wish I had the Standback V3 software. I hate the V2 software. PITA.

Hey, where do they cruise in Fay? What's the main strip?

[7mileshome]

the main places alot of people go are skibo rd. or raeford rd.

Have you noticed any other exhaust manifolds that are good? Besides PG?

[JimmyMac]

DNP looks good. But I would wait for the Steedspeed. That looks to be a pretty good unit with an external wg port already machined into the unit for future upgrade possibilities.

Did ATP fix the problem with the boost creep?

When not, how can we fix it without using a external westgate?

[dlogic]

Any update if ATP fix the problem with the boost creep?

[7mileshome]

No, they said it was not the turbo causing the issue. They suggested getting an external wastegate, or porting the internal wastegate (causing it to leak boost BTW.) Another option that they offer is a "surge protected compressor housing"

anyone have pics of the restricter pills ?>

[cageyvet]

whos using the 2871

[www.cp-e.com]

Use t3 flanged turbos. I would advise going with that over an ATP stock flanged turbo ANY day.

Bryan is working on mine now. Probably goin to be a month or so b4 its done, but ill let u know how it all works out when I get it

[mattizle14]

im wanting to get the gt35r and i had a question about how the whole 2-1 hoses work and how it goes to stock soleniod...i kno u will say read the thread and go to link but the link isnt working for me and ive tried searching and thats not working so if u could paste it in here on how u could hook that up that would be great

[7mileshome]

JimmyMac describes it best on the first post of this thread.

[mattizle14]

but what about the boost prob?

[7mileshome]

Check my proir posts (about 8 ago) on this thread.

You can call ATP and ask them their opinion, but if your asking me, the only way
to manage your boost correctly on a non-oem turbo is to have an external
wastegate+manual/electronic boost controller.

[rigor]

supposedly their porting the housings now?? not sure if you have to ask for it, and if it is actually enough to effectively control lower boost lvls.
be curious to see results???

ATP FAIL FLANGE

[7mileshome]

^^Explain Please^^

[dizzin9]

atp fail flange?

[cpolly69]

the atp mazda specific turbine housing that is set up for iwg is restrictive - a regular t3 flange with out the internal blockage of a iwg setup flows better - you have to run an ewg t3 mani setup to make this work tho
here's a story about when socks changed turbine housings
Byebye ATP Fail

[leo766]

it might be a fail flange, i personally cant believe a turbo that works in IWG config on other cars magic/epic fails on ours, that is the only reason they would insist its not their turbos and not wind up with a civil suit up their anal crevass


dont worry, before you start typing ur flame, i am going to possibly eat dirt when my atp 3071 arrives this week(then the saving begins, since i am getting this B protuned again)

since the sad fact is, people upgrade their turbos and dont change the tune... how or why ppl think this is ok if you want your car to run... nm im not going any further

but well see if given all the love and care if this thing will in fact run... otherwise ATP needs to STFU and withdraw their product from the market

either way, i willr eport back my personal experiance(probable rape according to this forum)
