What type of HP are you expected to get?
Donovan J.
Need something from england..or other eastern nations holla...
I dont mind looking.
Car: Toyota Soarer GT-T Jspec "Limited"
Galant: at home chillaxen :(
Honestly I have no clue. Drybear made 222 with a T3/T4 combo, though my turbo is quite a bit larger. So maybe 240 with proper tuning?Originally Posted by Donovan
Damn..fa sho I hope more than 222...Originally Posted by Jet Black
specially witha v6 ..

remeber to the wheel the v6 only pushes like 160 so going to 222 is pretty good thats a 60+ increase.Originally Posted by Donovan
Also remember, that the weak point in our V6 engine is the pistons, and without putting in stronger pistons, we can only safely go up to 8PSI - my dyno run was at 6PSI with a stock catback at base tune, so I also could probably eek out a few more HP with a better tune. Still, she does pull pretty hard :twisted:
Nice progress guys!
Are you going to go for a slimline fan, or do you have enough clearance for the stock fan with the controller relocated?
Where is the air filter going to sit? Have you figured out your intercooler piping yet?
BTW, I'd suggest installing the tranny cooler *now* so you won't have to removing the piping later to get at the stock tranny cooler lines. :oops: Unless of cource you still plan to go manual...

Ahh ok, I thought those numbers were a tad low. 8 psi and you should be right on top of 240. Possibly even up to 260 with an excellent tune, and a full 3". :twisted:
Well I'm going to be ordering a slimline with my next paycheck. As it is, even with the extra clearance we were able to scavange, I don't think the stock fan would work (stocker is HUGE).
As for the air filter, its probably going to sit right behind the drivers side headlight. Right around that area were theirs just empty space. (compressor > bov recirc pipe > maf > filter)
lol we havn't even began to think about the FMIC piping. Though I do plan to go the ghetto way for time being and use some flexible exhaust piping w/rubber coating on it. Heres the tutorial I'll be following:
http://208.186.78.102/forums/showthread.php?t=98542
Considering that the DSMs run some 14-16 psi stock, I don't believe I have too many problems with it at 8 psi.
I think I'll install the tranny cooler soon (thanks for the heads up ~ didn't realize think about that). Considering that I'm basicly out of money to do anymore *major* mods, I'm going to try to keep this tranny for a while.
BTW After reading the thread over at Club3g about the overheating issues, I suddenly developed a whole new love for our grills (excellent airflow).

its nice to have the extra room to work with, especially when you are trying to fix leaks(coolant, boost, and exhaust) around the turbo and manifold.
looks clean too to have the extra space and less clutter.
there really are no significant downsides to running it as a pusher either.
i plan to do it, not because i have any reason at all to, but just to make the engine bay cleaner.
even with my beefy new snail and external gate, i still have plenty of room and clearance to work with. it will only get better with a pair of pushers.

may i ask where the HELL you guys get all this money?? i want turbo sooo bad its killing me to see these threads!
Which fan were you thinking to get? I still have the Hayden slim fan I never used.Originally Posted by Jet Black
That's what Brandon aka Underated used initially for his intercooler piping before he took it to a shop to get hard pipe custom made. You might want to check with him.lol we havn't even began to think about the FMIC piping.

FYI I haven't had *any* overheating issues at allBTW After reading the thread over at Club3g about the overheating issues, I suddenly developed a whole new love for our grills (excellent airflow).
Honestly I was thinking about doing that, but about the only reason I want to keep it inside the engine bay is to act as a sort of shield against the turbo.Originally Posted by DOHCstunr
The turbo [with the extra room] is still only about two inches away from the radiator. I figure that instead of having to create my own "radiator guard" it might be easier to use the fan as a guard.
Another option [instead of using the fan as a "gaurd"] is this:
I could possibly fabricate some sort of mount for the turbo like tearstone did (instead of bolting straight into the compressor housing, I plan to bolt it into one of the housing bolts:
http://tearstone.com/shop/images/stories/v62.jpg
The reason I don't like the above idea is that it now adds a little too much rigidity to the turbo. Maybe I could use a heavy duty spring instead?
I was planning on using a spal fan. Hmmm how big is your Hayden fan (depth wise)?Originally Posted by DryBear
Believe it or not, thats where I originally got my idea from. I googled it, and one of the first links was the "upgraded" version of the same idea (the rubber coated one).That's what Brandon aka Underated used initially for his intercooler piping before he took it to a shop to get hard pipe custom made. You might want to check with him.

Hell ya bro, thats what I want to hear. I read through that thread like 3 times before I realized that the key reason for their heating issues was the lack of any upper grill. Only when someone posted a picture of the Evos front, did it hit me.FYI I haven't had *any* overheating issues at all
BTW Do you know if our radiators (99-01) are the same as the ones on the 01 GT? Tear said the 01 GTs have a rediclously skinny radiators.
