GT42 build done and running.

[aye mate]

I say, gadamm!

 

[MK3Brent]

Now I definitely need to come by and check it out!



It's looking good man.

Thought Dave would give you a new digital camera for Xman-mas.

 

[dbsupra90]

thats pretty crazy sean. looks really good and i like how its positioned.
wish i could come by for the dyno and aem tuning. just be careful and dont blow the welds on the intake!

 

[kwnate]

That brought a huge smile to my face! Can't wait to see some vids!!

 

[X-man]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. The first order of business is to get an inspection sticker so I can drive it without getting harrassed by the police. Yeah, Right! I have some dyno work scheduled for this weekend(one is a GS300 with a 2jz-gte in it) and I have to wire a drag truck so as soon as I get some more time I'll throw it on the dyno and let her rip.

That turbo looks like it cost more then my house!

COOL! What did it cost!?!?

Turbine housing was alittle over 400.00 from dbsupra90 and I had the turbo from work. It is off a 12.7 Liter Detroit Diesel series 60. Dave can price you the whole turbo but I think their between 1100.00 and 1200.00 but they might have gone up.

The non ball bearings garrett turbos are not as expensive as one might think.

 

[americanjebus]

thats quite the blowdryer you got there. Major props for testing the limits of stock internals. Make sure you post results when they finnaly give up. what all have you done to the stock internals??

 

[OneJoeZee]

It looks great, and really clean. I can't wait for the videos. I don't see the need for 823 hp, but more power to you if you want it. I hope you do it without hurting your engine though...................lol

it's never enough power until all 5 gears of your gears are 100% useless at any given speed:biglaugh:

 

[foreverpsycotic]

o....m....g:aigo: :love: :eek2: ::w00t:: :runaway:

that is probably the biggest f00king turbo i have ever seen. so your going to see peak boost around............5k rpm?

^google GT47 or GT55

or one of turbonetics big monster things

 

[boostadikt]

....... did you just wake up one morning and decide to fuck everyone else and make them look stupid? cuz its working

 

[MKIIINA]

holy shit dude.....you give new meaning to "go big or go home". now you just need to bring your car down to tx2k7 and let the world see it!

 

[dbsupra90]

yeah the turbo itself i sell for ~999
the expensive part is the custom 1.01 t4 housings.

for comparison- here is the gt42 next to a TO4 turbo.

 

[drjonez]

well done man!

 

[suprahero]

it's never enough power until all 5 gears of your gears are 100% useless at any given speed:biglaugh:

I'm thinkng his tires are going to be useless at any given speed. Traction will be a thing of the past with 800+ horsepower............:burnout:

Lookin good X-man.. I thought you were going to have a built motor in there. I guess it will make it that much more interesesting to see how well the stock internals will take that kind of power. Is the head stock still? I wonder how much power you can make with that huge turbo and stock head? Can't wait to see the dyno results.

And you will see it too.
