Oh yeah, I understand totally. They look good when the paint holds.

How long will you be keeping it for? Part out prior to sell?

b1adesofcha0s · 02-27-2013, 10:02 PM

Will be getting a new car after I get the house. Probably in a year or two. There will be a part out.

The MAF Tubes will be yours by the middle of March if all goes according to plan my friend.

eastwest2300 · 02-27-2013, 10:23 PM

All right duuude.

XwChriswX · 02-27-2013, 10:27 PM

Is there anyone that needs/wants a set of K&N drop ins? Mine will be up for grabs as well.

MyKindaGuise · 02-27-2013, 10:50 PM

Oh hey guys...so I apparently go through turbos faster than I do underwear.

Im upgrading from the H1C Holset....

Getting a BorgWarner S259, T3 flange, .70a/r, with upgraded billet compressor wheel.

Its like a $1600 turbo haha. Should be here next week.

Here is a pic...

XwChriswX · 02-27-2013, 10:58 PM

Are all these turbos that you're going through going to match well with the VQ, or are you just trying to get the biggest sucker you can get to fit in the engine bay?

And you're doing a single turbo right? Not twin?

b1adesofcha0s · 02-27-2013, 11:01 PM

Nice turbo

No these will all work so far. I couldn't find an hx40 so I decided to go to the next step up and this was it. Its a bit bigger but good for 600whp+. Our engines flow a crap ton of exhaust gas so I should still spool this around 3k rpms and max boost around 3500rpms. This will just give me more top end. While keeping low end torque as hell. I'm not coming twins because it wouldn't fit easily up top. It'd in future plans though. This is also a nodded s259 with a nicer compressor wheel so my spooling guess mighty be off a little...it'll probably spool faster than at 3k

I promise there is thought and consideration and a lot of math going into these purchases. Also I'm making money off of the original h1c turbo

Have you taken any measurements of where you plan to put it to make sure it will physically fit in the spot you plan to put it??

I'd hate to see you have this thing in your garage, and find out then it's too big to pipe around.

We've done some stuff in AutoCAD and so far everything lines up. It should actually use less space than the S&R kit.
