TTQ B4U Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 The MS3 uses a small K04 but it gets the job done. Anything bigger on the stock bottom End will likely cause a boom that I don't care to deal with. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/110643656.jpg Maybe a nice re-worked one will due for now http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/110643163.jpg The above offers: Ported and Polished Housings Larger Billet Aluminum Lightweight Compressor Wheel Clipped Turbine Wheel If I blow the stock seals for any reason, I'll consider going that route.

1qwk767 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Red, green, white. Just a bunch of marketing hype. It's in a stock frame so it can't make very much power. HAHA ya right, IM a DSM'er I know all about the FP Red, and FP Green and the FP White hah cant fool me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/14biggy/SC300enginebay1.jpg Not too big, not too small. Way to small to be a single on a 2jay. EDIT: Just realized that was your SC300, not your TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 dude, thats a small turbo. ^^ yeah, but the K04 does the job. I'm game for a roll with ya I ran a buddy who works at Byers in a new STi. 40-120 and he had me by about 1.5 cars at the end. You spool a little longer in RPM's so upon shifts from 3-4 and 4-5 I drop back a bit each time. I didn't flat foot shift her though but she takes doing so quite well. They built the transmission well. I'm sure I'll see you around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/110643163.jpg That wheel looks so much more aggressive than my k04 wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Red, green, white. Just a bunch of marketing hype. It's in a stock frame so it can't make very much power. May not make crazy power, but will get ridiculous enough shaft speeds to spin itself apart in short order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Clipped wheel.....................ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh small fail yes/no, keep in mind the costs and the fact that it's simply a re-worked stock turbo. power gains are there and lag isn't an issue stock nor on these. just a consideration vs a larger Garrett that will require internals first. I've not decided yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 What is the next step up in turbo for the MS3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 What is the next step up in turbo for the MS3? GT3071R it's efficient up to 22 psi on the MS3 2.3L turbo engine and can produce 450 crank HP as configured with supporting mods and proper tuning. It's a great set up when configured properly on the car. THere are a number of guys running them. Lag is a bit longer but that's okay. I've ridden in a friends with his set up and when she spools, he's gone! It would be fun to have, but the MS3 isn't meant to be a straight line car so to me, I'll save my money. She's fun just as she is really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2highpsi Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 May not make crazy power, but will get ridiculous enough shaft speeds to spin itself apart in short order. I was actually kidding. 63 lb. per minute and stealth as hell. It can't hold a candle to an HTA35r on say a shearer manifold, but I am making more power than a lot of guys on older standard 35Rs.

Smokey Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've got 2 teeny tiny turbos and I plan on replacing them this year....with 2 more teeny tiny turbos. I'll go sulk in the corner with my turbo-envy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't hold a candle to an HTA35r on say a shearer manifold, but I am making more power than a lot of guys on older standard 35Rs. I wasnt. Its nice if your going for some sort of stock appearing record, but the shaft RPM gets really out of control north of 25psi. They don't last very long at higher boost levels because of it. Just tell them its a JDM turbo when you pop your hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 You have a perfect 3L that yerns for a GT3582..................... you mean 3.2l? Cause I know the FD doesnt have a 3L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 you mean 3.2l? Cause I know the FD doesnt have a 3L Nate's correct, my 95 is a 3.0. 96+ were 3.2. either way, the m3 is my DD during the summer and not getting a turbo as much as I'd love to. I already have one needy turbo car, no need to complicate the situation further. I decided that when I bought the FD that because of such I'd never boost the M3.

2highpsi Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I wasnt. Its nice if your going for some sort of stock appearing record, but the shaft RPM gets really out of control north of 25psi. They don't last very long at higher boost levels because of it. Really?? The Red was designed for 30 psi plus. FP doesn't even recommend the turbo if you don't intended on running 30 or higher. Mine is set at 30 without problem. I am actually going to bump it up to 35 with meth or race gas this year. I know of a couple cars that have a ton of hours and passes on 40 psi without a failure yet. One of the guys that helped test the turbo actually had a shaft speed sensor, and it wasn't really out of hand on high boost. I wish I could find the thread on Evom I am talking about. On a green, white, or stock I agree with you though. Just tell them its a JDM turbo when you pop your hood. It's mad tyte JDM yo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
