M35 Turbo Upgrade.

[scotty nm35]

Yep I have fcon v pro currently installed. Still debating what to do with the auto trans and how to beef it up a little

What you are suggesting could well make 3 times the stock torque, if not more. If you have the Transgo kit fitted you may be ok for a while, if you drive it nice.

How far off is this high flow option scotty? Thinking I need to sell my ss1 and go something capable of a bit more power

I should have some by the end of the week, or early the week after I am hoping. Then I will fit one to my car and test it out with the Link Fury running the show. Big few weeks coming up...

Sounds good. Looking forward to hearing all these results. Not so much for how much it could end up costing me haha

A week or two back i found a company in america that built components for the re5ro5a gearbox to handle upwards of 500hp ill try and find it later

[scotty nm35]

There are plenty of parts for the RE5, locally and overseas. It's big bucks to build a box though, I have done it twice now.

Most important is good quality synthetic fluid and a large cooler.

Yep I have the transgo kit installed.I think i know the company you speak of, the one you have to send them in part of your box then it gets sent back after the mods?

That would be the valve body, which you have already upgraded to some extent.

To handle more torque you need to increase the amount of clutch plates in the clutch packs by using thinner drive plates, not just bump the pressures up.

Level 10 was the place I was looking at in the us

Complete rebuild kit to handle 700 Yankee HP and they can also flash the gearbox ECU as well

Thats the one i seen

Cmon Aleks, do it.

I will supply the TCU.

[BoostdR]

I feel the TCU reprogram is the key(2nd to stronger internals). Changing the shift duration via a transgo reprogram kit helps much less than it should due to the TCU compensating for the changes(pulling them back towards stock).

I have spare one, will send em an email to see if I can send it in.also keen to see how much of a diffrence it would make

Level10 out source the job to another company i dont think its in house

I noticed Borg Warner EFR's were mentioned earlier. This would be the ultimate option as I feel these are the best spooling turbo available on the market. Precision will make more power as they aren't limited by shaft speed but an EFR will smash it in average power/drive ability. I have one on my race car and spool is similar to stock. Transient response is excellent and below spool boost is available from idle. The design also allows for a large turbine which is great for reducing heat and back pressure. We recently installed one on an IPRASA car and it went another second faster over the previous Garrett unit with a restrictor. I'll post a vid of my WRX which runs a 6758 to show response. Mine does have anti lag but it was more for the crowd as it doesn't need it at all, it makes boost free revving.

So install wise of this long turbo on a Stagea could be achieved as the mount angle can be up to 15 degrees(advertised) due to the double oil seals they run. Mine is around 20 degrees and has no problems. I've seen the cosworth WRX run one at over 30degrees. I guess what I'm trying to say is if a kit could be made, you would be in the money.

Here are some pics of my install on the rex

Your car goes like a beast! I do like the EFRs may end up putting it in the air boxs place, i built a box around my pod filter unsure if it helps much lol, either way it looks like a good spot for a longer turbo

[BoostdR]

Cheers, not bad for a 2ltr with medium cams. The slow speed track really shows the response. I do also run a 6 speed so that helps a lot also. I love these turbos. A 7163 mixed geometry EFR would be insane on an M35.

[scotty nm35]

My GTX was installed on a 15 degree tilt, I had no issues other than space. You are welcome to try and fit the EFR in the stock location, but without going to external gate housings and without the bov etc. I doubt it will fit, no matter how you tilt it. Have you seen how little room there is to work with? It makes RB26 twins look easy.

If you relocated the turbo to the airbox location it would work, but then you have issues getting a decent size exhaust through beside the engine. My 3 inch intake touches on both sides...

Small low mount twins would work, as long as you ditch the AWD, you would need to change gearboxes anyway if chasing that kind of power.

[BoostdR]

I was hoping you might take up the challenge Scotty. I'm not very advanced on the Fabrication side of things.

[scotty nm35]

I took up the challenge of removing the GTX and putting a highflow back in, that's the smart option.

Anything larger isn't going to work well without spending the big bucks, auto rebuild, high stall converter, 3.5 inch exhaust, there is no way a 4 inch intake is ever going to work... I'm quite happy with 300+ on ethanol, it's the guys running 98 that will be limited by their crappy fuel.

Twin rear mounts?

I remember seeing a pic somewhere.........
