This looks interesting... V8 Caldina

[fuel]

Imagine the fuel consumption on that thing!

[Akane]

Twin GT3540R is a bit on the big side But that thing would haul, I wouldn't say it'd just scare Hondas at the lights. Supras, Skylines, other Caldinas

I think so too, especially he's only running 12psi and on what I think standard cams.

should go something smaller like in a TD05H Region, same PSI, more area under the curve = killing so much things on the road that you don't know what hit you, there will be EVO's and STI's look stumped with 's running across their face, I surely would too.

[Leon]

That is possibly the finest sleeper that I've seen.

I am super impressed.

[2LTR Rona]

would make going out to get milk dam interesting

very nice indeed

[Adamal]

Yea, but would probably cost more to go get the milk, than it would cost to buy the milk itself!

[2LTR Rona]

hahaha very true.....if the owner is anything like me you would probably return home without the milk anyway

[Adamal]

Ahh I know what you mean.... Any excuse mate, any excuse

[the fallen303]

maybe so

but it would be worth it

Yeah that'd do it nicely. Potential for flowing near 600whp - if thats not enough for you in a 2WD station wagon then you're a sick little puppy.

[2LTR Rona]

sorry did you say something....I was day dreaming about the sound of that thing

[gleem]

That is possibly the finest sleeper that I've seen.

I am super impressed.

i would love to see the look on the face of the sti/evo driver he would burn off at the lights

[barryogen]

I would imagine that there may be an issue there... how would you see it through the tyre smoke

[skoty]

what times did it pull? saw it at the nats show. cant get much more sleeper than that

It was awhile ago so to be honest I cant remember exactly but I think it was around the late 11s mark...

Actually its a bloody good choice. I dont think he is running after market pistons so compresion ratio is 10:1. So a bigger turbo will push that boost with more CFM and less temp... makes a lot of sense. The torque of the 1UZ is massive from 1,500rpm remember No one seems to comment on the turbine A/R with his turbo choice which would influence how well suited it is greatly...

Huh.......... Sorry I'm not technical enough to understand how that works, I'm sure I'll let Lith or someone else chime in about this bigger turbo = more CFM at the same PSI... Cheers.

i know my turbo's quite well and even i cant understand that pile of shit hes tring to push

in short its 2x 2 l motors
on a 2l motor a gt35 of any sort is laggy and crap

what people are tring to say is true
his turbo choice is arse

he could be making the same power over more of teh rev range and it woudl be more responsive at any givn point

guess its all down to knowing what your talking about
and akane your spot on teh money

I'll look back at my tapes, but yeah, high 11s for this thing.

Because you have built lots of twin turbo 1UZ's? You know $&#$% all. There is a twin GT35 1UZ making 1200WHP in Norway. You dont know the goals of the owner you dont know the specs of the turbo including turbine AR, so why dont you do the world a favour and keep your dumb $&#$% mouth shut, or try and deal with the facts instead of the made up fantasy land you live in pretending you know more about the tuning shop that did this conversion.

You believe all turbos make the same CFM at the same rpm at the same boost... you are retarded mate. Go google it and try educate yourself before you spew your half assed opinion on the rest of the internet.

Obviously a smaller turbo would be more responsive, you get the Captain Obvious award again and again... but you dont know his goals.

[Adamal]

I don't want to insult you, or insinuate that I'm trying to insult you, but vvega is one of those few people who actually does know what he's talking about.

From memory, he's an aircraft engineer and fabricator by trade, which would involve working with jet engines and they are essentially big turbos with multiple compressor stages. They make turbos and the physics behind them look like childs toys.

In short, I wouldn't take what he says with a grain of salt!

[fivebob]

Shock horror , I'm going to have to agree with vvega and akane on this one, the GT35 is a poor choice for this application. Even Garrett agrees with them.


In fact rom 700-1000HP the GT30 is a better choice, Below that the GT28RS is their preferred turbo.

It's all very well to get hot under the collar and say that people don't know what the original goals were, but get real. At the 1000HP level that GT35's become a reasonable choice, the Caldina chassis is well past it's limits.

Personally at 450HP I'd go for a couple of CT20Bs rather than TD05s
