500whp some day in the future is good enough for me :D

I don't know about you guys but for me this is quite a jump in turbo sizes.

wish me luck

Haha, selling off the gsx to fund the evo. It is inevitable for all EVO owners.

So whats next for the EVO?

Jakey has one. It is no $100 ebay special but it is priced at what it is worth.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

Post up the link.


I might follow them one day. Get a evo & part the gsx. :D

Its nice to see that you are buying parts, and getting closer to your goal. Just dont up the boost to much on that stock 7 bolt, it will not end up good.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

meh, up it all you want. The 7 bolt will go anyway. Stock, or not.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

Yea, people have only made 550+ on the stock 7-bolt and the just as weak Evo motor.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

That's for the referral Tim and I apologize for not updating my FS thread but the ECU is sold. It went to Canada a couple of weeks ago.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

Funny. I have bought 2 off ebay that were listed very poorly for dirt cheap and sold them for a good chunk of change to people in Canada.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

I cant believe you sold it to a Canuck. Did they pay you in canadian money or US funds?

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

With current exchange rates and the weak US$ is there any difference? ;)

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

I'd hit up ebay too but damn I don't want to wait or risk etc...

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo

If I remember correctly, the GT35RLE is the Mitsu style exhaust housing. If so, the exhaust side will be the "choke-off" point of the set-up. Quicker spool-up in return though.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

It is the one one with the mistu exhaust housing. It is a complete bolt on. Stock manifold and 02 housing work for it. You surprisingly don't even need a spacer plate to clear the water pipe with it.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

It's not clearing the water pipe. I had to bang the water pipe alittle for it to fit but it's so damn close to the block the compressor housing is touching the block drain bolt not even a peice of paper can slide in between. I hope I didn't make a puncture on the water pipe :(

what's a good fix if I did?

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

Replace and heat to bend. If you moved it enough to have a leak then it's starving already. (smashed shut)

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

It's only about 1/8 banged in for the compressor housing to fit. I'm more worried that the 2 braces which I had to flatten doesn't cause any leaks.

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

Weird. I had no fitment issues on my car. I wouldn't worry about it, but if it does leak, put a little jbweld over the spot that leaks and let it cure overnight. I did this on my 1G and it saved my ass, and looked fairly clean as well (read: don't use too much!).

Re: I must be dreaming! a turbo
 

I was thinking the same thing JB Weld it if it leaks
