Default Time for an Upgrade - GT30R and tube manifold

After waiting awhile my GT turbo arrived...GT30R varient. It only took a month to get it.
I'm only looking for around 300HP on drives and 400HP at the dyno and track. This is more than plenty turbo.

4" tapered inlet


had to settle for the 0.63 exh housing, apparently the .82 housings are hard to come by


Dual BB and watercooled


It was time to move away from my current T3/T4 and log manifold. Which by the way was a crap manifold design to begin with, the placement was all wrong. That is the last manifold I ever buy pre-built again.
I'm getting the last of the manifold and DP flanges water cut now. I'll get this thing placed and start fabing the manifold soon. Once the new WG arrives I should be set.

Not really any tech, but I was very excited and wanted to share alittle.

who told ya .82ar is hard to get? the only housing thats "hard" to get is the 5bolt pattern for GT's, and even then, just wait a day or 2 extra...if even

besides, with your power goals, i think the .63 is a better choice

At the time that turbine housing was indeed difficult to get. Castings were not available in quantity.
I think I should turn out pretty good once it is put back together. This is my weekend fun car anyways, big HP numbers are not nessesary. The 30psi Talon is another story.
