M35 Turbo Upgrade.


FIA510

Recommended Posts

The G1 profile is equivalent to a 2871 52T, not alot larger then the OEM wheels, you can count it as a slightly bigger steel wheel rebuild rather then high flow. Works fine on factory ecu and stock auto.

The current project high moving towards some thing that makes power but more importantly drives nicely on stock auto. Im currently building a special SS2 using T3x bearing housing and Ceramic ball bearings for throttle response.

Should help with the bigger diameter disc

The actual size of the disc on the intense billet rs is smaller then a certain turbo pictured next to it... It's in the disc placement and porting of it where the gains are. The actuator travel being the biggest gain. Also disc size means nothing if porting isn't done to suit. Pictures of porting will follow from both turbos to show a comparison.

I suspect the larger disk without porting the hole sufficiently actually limits the flow of the gate.

putting my intense Rs turbo in this morning! Keep you all posted on results. Gorgeous bit of kit!!

Too slow Nathan, mine is in and running 30psi already. :P

Feels more responsive on the road, makes more boost on the converter when stopped and it's not even tuned yet. Need to fatten up the spool areas of the fuel map so it must be flowing more in that region. See how the tune goes tomorrow.

Looks like we are on a winner here Rick. Thanks for the help designing it, was worth all the late nights. Time to get down to Calder for a run.

I was referring to a bigger disc vs OEM. Here is the porting on my Hypergear post-49288-14482552318983_thumb.jpgpost-49288-14482552618726_thumb.jpg

The bigger problem with the M35 high flow is not boost creep but response.

Is this unit ball bearing?

I prefer the turbine style of the unit on the right in the video its a more efficient design. I expect it would make more average power over the unit on the left which looks similar specs to my Hypergear rev4. Lakes101 pic shows a different turbine again if I can see it correctly which is a good design(curved)

not bad time wise for my first turbo install I think calling you so many times slowed me down lol [emoji12]

Thanks for the help Scott I'll be taking it for a beating tomorrow and let you know how it all goes!

Lakes 101 has the same turbo as the left one in the video. I no this as we built 4 identical units. For those who couldn't tell, the other turbo in the video is the noisey Hypergear ss2 rev2. It is definetly not more efficient or responsive then the intense billet rs, should have some results tomorrow. As far as wastegate porting goes not very impressed by the porting on yours as he has ported through the inlet track of the turbine. And it isn't even matched to the flapper valve.

On the video you've uploaded earlier, I've noticed the right hand actuator has a spring hooked on to the base. Will you be able to repeat the test with that spring removed?

Yes that's not a problem at all. I can repeat the test with a standard actuator. Will do so asap.

The inlet track to the turbine is opened up all the way around. It even injects air under the turbine by about 40% Do you think this is why I have 20psi at 4700rpm and when running 25psi it goes from 25 at 4850 to 18psi at 6500..

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
