do these turbos use the same flange patterns
as garrett? i.e gt25 input flange a 5bolt wastegated
exit flange?

The GT-K 450 uses a T3 4bolt inlet and a 4 bolt discharge.

you got a total price including shipping and import tax to the UK?
or can you put lower insurance value?

If you are looking for a price shipped I would contact one of the vendors whose banner is at the top of the forum and they can get you set up.

Thank you.

When reffering to uprated internals do you mean pistons, crankshaft etc.?

Anyhow:

Pistons: Forged W?ssner (will change to JE), stock is able to hold 465bhp safe, but I'm an even safer guy so stock pistons was not an option.

Crankshaft: Stock will hold 800bhp+

Con rods: Stock holds about 600bhp, but I'll change them this winter to rev some more. The ones I have now is balanced and weighed within +-1gram

The Saab engines are more or less bulletproof originals (Saabs between 1994-1998 and some 1998-2000) and can take 465bhp w/o opening the engine at all! But as I'm not the guy compromising.

As most seem to go for dynamic dyno here are the results of the dynamic run:

505hk@6130rpm
570Nm@5003rpm

I'll post some updates on what I'll do with the engine during winter later this day.

ya cant beat a bit of over engineering!! hehe
fare play lad!! its a Class project and may u get past ur knock problems!!
im actually running some high tempps on idle so dats another problem il have 2 solve!!!

[EXD]

In short:

JE Pistons instead of W?ssner (JE has better designed pistons + coating)
Re-surface the cylinder head
E85 fuel instead of regular pump gas
New intake manifold, (own design or Saab 2.3i stock intake), longer runners gives more low-and-midrange power.
Forged conrods
Lighter flywheel to compensate for the big brakes and rims.



Gary GT: Regarding your knock problems, what comp. ratio do you have?

An extra note: Its my birthday today (13:th November), guess how old I am

[GaryGT]

well old man!!
no i dont have knock problems!! i have coolant problems which i have solved!!! running 2bar boost on my nxt mapp so that shud be mental ona little 1.3 toyota!!!! hehe

it was spiking in 4th to 2bar but i had to let off as its not mapped yet for 2 bar!! so im hoping my tuner can sort that nxt time!!!!
the GT-K in my mind is a savage turbo!!!
really happy with it!!! hope it stays going strong

So what unit did you go for, and what car ? Any times yet ?

Hopefully we should have a nippy Starlet on the go next year. A friend doing a long term project on one at the minute.
We did do a little work on a few before, but as always owners dont want to spend any money on them.
One guy manage something like 13.8 at 113mph at Bishopscourt early this year.
Melted a piston at the 2nd event though...He was warned it was a ticking time bomb. You cant tune cars for free !!!
