Fox Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Could anyone who has experance with any of the above Turbo setup's please give advice on there application. Im new to single turbo land and i have read alot of posts relating to turbo lag and spool up time's, esp relating to the T78. I'm not looking for top end speed, but a car that has seat sucking of the mark speed and can smash low 11's / high 10's on the strip.... Any information is much welcomed Thank you, Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 OK the T04R will make more power, the T78 quicker spool. Both are kinda old now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 A T67 or T04Z would be a better bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 You might want to consider the new HKS TO4Z, instead of the TO4R. See HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 TO4Z on Skylines is awesome. I'd have more concerns over manifold type than turbo though, see if Arnouts cast manifold is in production, i have a pre production one here and it looks like it will never crack. IMO tubular ones on road cars that do any sort of mileage are potential trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Arnouts manifold does look good for reasonable power. We still havent seen an issue with the BL manifold though Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Actually, I think the whole tubular cracking is blown out of proportion, and IF they did crack it is probably down to inproper tuning/excessive heat. I know of 2 cars with HKS manifolds on ( TO4R) type that have in excess of 50k on them now without issue. One car is used every year in the one lap of America challenge, and the Targa Newfoundland challenge. I know of a BL manifold with 40k on it. No when you think the BL is a better grade stainless than the HKS..... If your EGT's are excessive the tubular will crack eventually, but you should be looking to reduce them with proper tuning anyway. Oh and BTW, we sell cast manifolds too!
