the compressor is a custom design for this setup, it's about the same size as the ones in the 605 kit.

you got any with the wheel/suspension taken off? Curious what that looks like.

jpsimon · 03-04-2010, 10:12 AM

if I go back today I'll snap some more, the turbos should be off by then too

mkPOTO · 03-04-2010, 10:13 AM

so is the turbo complete?

jpsimon · 03-04-2010, 10:14 AM

What do you mean?

mkPOTO · 03-04-2010, 10:15 AM

nevermind, so the turbo is complete and ready for install thats what im asking sorry, i thought when you posted pic that it was the finished product

jpsimon · 03-04-2010, 10:19 AM

Yeah the pictures posted on the first page are the finished product, and they are currently being put on as we speak

mkPOTO · 03-04-2010, 10:24 AM

oh very nice.. i would love to get a set, any upgrades need to be made for oil lines and what not? sorry if this was already talked about

jpsimon · 03-04-2010, 10:26 AM

no it uses the stock lines

mkPOTO · 03-04-2010, 10:41 AM

wow thats badass.. i really want a set hopefully it gives some great gains

jpsimon · 03-04-2010, 10:45 AM

We really don't know what to expect, so everyone should keep their fingers crossed!

, plus lots of room to go up.

cotmfk · 03-04-2010, 11:19 AM

What kind of spool up are you getting with the 35r? High dyno numbers are great, but basically what I am asking is what kind of room do you have under the HP/Torque curves? What RPM are you hitting full boost at? (Not meant to be antagonistic, just curious) I rode in a few Evos that were running 35Rs. While once they kicked in, the speed was awesome, the lag for daily driving was ridonculous. They were also running 30+ lbs. of boost, so a lot more to build than the 15-17 psi.

Evo is a small 4 banger. I'm running a 3.2 liter engine, boost builds very quickly at 3,000rpms i'll hit around 10psi, full boost by 3300rpms. Redline is 7200rpms. Obviously if I stomp on it at 2,000rpms there is lag but why woudl I do that? I cruise mostly around 2,500-3,000 in this car. So boost is right there. The hit of the 35r is almost disorienting....its awesome

.

so thats 4,000rpms of full boost, more than enough

. If i'm actually driving it fast its not out of boost, if i'm cruising boost is only a stab away. Its a handful for daily driving on street tires. The gearing in my car keeps it in the rev band basically automatically even when your not trying. I need a taller rear end gear actually.
