Ok, yes I searched. I just want to confirm with something a little more recent, because there were only a couple very old threads.

gt 3037 is the biggest turbo that goes on a gtir manifold, and it supports about 400whp?

as far as i know, that is correct. and, yes, that turbo will support 400hp as long as you have all the right supporting hardware and tuning to go along with it.

a gt3037 will support more than 400whp. I have seen a gtir motor do 454whp on a GT3076R, same as a gt3037 but with a 56.5mm turbine instead of the hks 60mm turbine. I dont know how much boost though. i do know it was external w/g.

most likely you will have to modify it for an external gate... jp made a post about the 3037 on a gtir with internal wastegate and it wasnt working very well

yeah definitely with the external gate. The reason im asking is *** i want a high hp turbo for the ve, but ***** makes manifolds specifically for the ve. So i can take the stock vet manifold and mod it for external gate, but I wanted something with more than 400 whp capability. Thinking up towards 500. :D

ewwwww disco potato. They say the block can take it, so Id like to give it to it and see what happens t :biggthump

I dont understand honestly why any of the guys do it. If our going to spend a grand on a dp why not spend a grand on a sc61, if you want a turbo that spools fast why dont you get a t28 for 400 bucks off the forum.

Heres where Id like to go t :tongue:

SR20DET rods $100

SR20DET pistons about 9.3-1 compression New with rings $280 or used $120

SR20VE steal head gasket from Mossy $85

New Crank and Rod Beaings $270.

N1 intake and TB from Mossy $450

740cc side feed injs $540 on EBAY

T3T04 Turbo .63 turbine, stage 5 wheel with 60 trim or larger compressor wheel.

Turbo Manifold Log or equal length $400-$800


That will net 450-480 WHP at 20 PSI all day with no stress.

This comes from the assumption that DET guys make 400-420 WHP at 20 PSI. The VE with better head and bigger cams will net an xtra 50 WHP while costing less t0 build



But I was seeing if there were any options for the ve manifold like that. Motor comes in any day, got a deposit on it already.

Any transmission work in mind?

i picked up a classic for this actually. the 200s staying on daily duty.

its in my mind, but will wait until it needs to be done. I fully subscribe to keep it simple stupid, and if aint broke dont fix it theories. So I know my options, but I aint got a hole in my pocket either :biggthump

disc potato.... a 1g for a turbo that will barely make 300whp... psh, a 1g can get you ANYTHING BETTTER and bigger. I would never buy a dp, even a gtir t28 outflows it for half the price after a rebuild. my 2 cents, stick with a 3037

Or a gt2871r, i was thinking about a disco potato, but for almost the same price the 2871r makes more hp and spools almost as quick.

Later,Jon

yep the dp spool too quick, its impossible to modulate. and 300whp for a grand i mean come on what a rip.
