And it begins: the 6A13TT tear down and build up thread!!

Adam it's not about the flow if you can't make the flow without being in stall city

over the next few days I will re-write my code to work online so that you can use it to play with numbers to you hearts content , but if you have a look at the garret turbo 103 tech on there website you will see what you need to do to work out flow patterns

that doesnt see, like a bad price for both turbos, and they are the ones you seem to think will be best brad?

[bradc]

Those are GT2860RS's and are designed for more power again. The ones I like will do around 500hp on a VR-4, I wouldn't go for bigger turbos unless you really want to aim for 550 or 600hp.

I am going for GTR 32 N1 turbos.

[Adam.Findlay]

shane when you get your engine running with the t04's you have please let me know what sort of lag you get

[Fully]

For sure Adam.
Going to use 1 3/4 inch pipe (ID) from each of the exhaust ports to a collector on the turbo flange.

well here are all my flanges that i have ready to make exhaust manifolds im just going to use pipe as close ID to the flange

[scott.mohekey]

What are the two on left and right for?

[Adam.Findlay]

inlet to the compressor housing and they are alluminium not stainless like the rest

[scott.mohekey]

Ah, I figured that was the case.

[low_vr4]

That aint a bad price at all for two turbos, would like to do a rebuild in the future too

[Ryan]

NZ$2600 ex shipping ~25kg... I imagine that one would have to pay duty on them too?

[Adam.Findlay]

yeah im hoping to not pay to much more then 3200 for turbos and then its another 3200 for forged pistons and rods but that is the basis for god hp numbers. I think the hardest part is going to be finding a way to strengthen the crank or get a billet one made

Were did you get them from?

Have you got a quote from STM? For forged stuff (Speed Tech Motorsport)

[Adam.Findlay]

got the flanges made all custom from C&R laser cutters on francella street figured id get it all done there cos you cant buy 6a13tt manifold flanges off the shelf

na spec on st asaph gave me the quote on forged bits i may email stm tho

[Fully]

How much?

[Adam.Findlay]

posted earlier in this thread think the quote was 3200 at the time

[Adam.Findlay]

Small amount of progress but after yesterdays earthquake i had nothing to do today, so instead of standing around with my thumb up my a** I cleaned and re assembled my oil pump, next job is the rocker covers and cleaning out the thermostat housing.

Pack it full of grease before you stick it back together =)
