Advice on exhaust housing size...

[effect2g]

Ok... I am debating between either .82 or 1.06 on a GT35r. .82 will be good b/c that is what i was going to run if i got the blowzilla "t3/gt40", but since i am getting the ball bearing turbo and spool is faster I figured i would be able to run the 1.06 without too much spool delay. I also figured the 1.06 will give me a slight better chance at traction. Anyone with a gt ball bearing turbo that can chip in on spooling characteristics? all thoughts and opinions appreciated.

For what car? An S-Series?

I doubt you'll be able to fully spool a 1.06 turbo. I'd go with a .82, and even then I doubt you'll make much boost before redline.

P.S. Please tell me you're not buying an XS Power. [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/lol.gif[/img]

turbine trim size is an effect too. but that was the turbo i was looking into and i was thinking of the .82 with vband. me likey vband clamps

Right, but they only make turbine's so small too, right?

Anyways, I'm no expert, but like I said, I'd go .82 or less.

well the way i see it, its ball bearing so it will spool quicker anyway and .82 was doable in journal bearing, and no its not a knock off or turbo xs one. yea this will be run on an s-series, i guess the question is, how much quicker does a ball bearing really spool over a journal?

well with the gt3582r, it only comes in 1 trim. i havent seen any other unless someone modifies the turbo. i was just saying.

I was told (forget where) on average it's between 500-800rpms quicker (for full boost).

from what garrett says, 15% faster

.82

comparing a .82 t3 housing to a larger housing like a t4 with a .82 is apples to oranges.

The tg35 will spool late. Expect it to make 15 psi in 3 gear (on an mp2) around 6K rpm. ...read you pm if you want to see what else I had to say.

isnt the gt35r on a t3 housing? or is on a t4?
