05Boost

So how long till the rwd/4wd main shaft is in?

Awesome job on this again!

Two smaller ones in parallel instead of one large will give better response and three cylinders per turbo is actually fairly good.

 

However you can mount them close to the cylinder heads on the exhaust side.

 

But it will make things a bit more complicated when it comes to plumbing. Maybe a future modification.

Ehh id stay single turbo. Begining post he wanted this setup since easier to make over 500hp this way than mod the 2.5L.

Gotta remember even though this is an old motor im sure the 3.8L has more tq than almost any turbo 2.5L under 2krpm so its not going to be laggy. I know i went from a 99 sc'ed maxima with a 3.0L at 13lbs psi and going from that 3.0L to the na 3.5L swap i couldnt believe what half a cyclinder did for the low end. So just imagine 2 more cyclinders and 1.3Ls.

damn that front mount is huge. You know its comming videos videos!

on side note we need that smilie like the this thread is worthless without pics but instead saying this update is worthless without videos!

awesome job keep it up!

Who said anything aboot helmets?

bc it was at the track remember not on a public road or anything.

Like this one time I had 4 people in my car at the drag strip raced an Acura we all stared at him his concentration and "power shifts" were priceless I waved at him the whole time and then finally floored it near the line And pulled away and I was still waving good ol automatics!

gotta love having 4 people in the car with helmets at the drag strip. Just classic moments.

That is not possible the HTA68 is faster!!!!!1

ahh edit 2nd post already i want to be number 8!! haha that hta car is a 2.0l

^^ Nice, that VF52 is just a hair quicker than a lighter car 310whp HTA68 on the same dragstrip (13.07 @ 105.5 ). I know I'll be chastised for bringing in real world data. Ooops.

yea but i wouldnt take that too much into account. Thats a 2.0L so its not going to have as much tq as our cars with that turbo. Although thats what i dynoed 310hp/317tq
