Exhaust gas temperatures and cylinder pressures will be changed when switching between the two. I dont know if he is racing this car and getting the last drop of HP or just playing.

The nomenclature that Chrysler uses is 'fan relay,' that is what they call it. In which I don't really care, why, because I know that it is a solid state high side switch.

Chrysler uses it to regulate the engine's electric cooling fan speed via PWM from the ECM/PCM. Works great to do the same for the alky pump.

Again I fail at knowledge and engrish. Thanks for the clarification

Re: and so it starts

it wont matter , i dont use the alky as a power adder , only as an extra cooling/saftey net

tune gets set with no alky , then ill setup the alky so it cools the charge further without messing with my afrs . this is my street car so it wont be running on the edge

been thinking about it , manufacture says its ok , its just a relay board for the arc 4000 , but im going to move it into the car


speaking of the car , lets just say its losing quite a bit of the front end over the next few days

My guess is that with a comp that large and smaller turbine it is going to spool soon enough to cause compressor surge. I am interested to see how it works out. If it ends up with surge at low boost then put in a cbv activated in the surge area. I just had to do this on an install to clean up surge at 0-3 PSI.

Is there conformal coating (goo) or clear coating stuff on the board?

Ah, didn't see where it said a Chrysler fan relay. I was thinking classic mechanical GM fan relay.

yeah im kind of torn atm , i shoudnt have bought the t76 i did , it was an impulse purchase and i grabbed one with the wrong turbine housing

this is the reasoning betwen buying an 88 for the track

so it got me thinking if i could just buy another matching t76 and make it work , or maybe sell off the 76 and just buy an s475 or something
if i wanted to do twins again twin 66-70mm is prolly what i should have

yeah the board has coating on it , but im moving the battery to the trunk so ill be moving the relay panel as well

yeah but at that point im better of spending the extra few bucks on the s475, those 80mm gt45's are like 600+ each iirc

Ohhh the exhaust side is .81.. So it would be good for TPI or something that needs to spool quick but not rev too high.

How much are you selling it for?

Re: and so it starts

Yeah just saying i dont think a small cube non race motor would like those turbos. They wouldnt spool well. The .81's would def help, do not need bigger. I run the mp p trim .96's and dont see full boost til 4200 but they start to make noise around 3600-3800. Just come up to 20 psi abit slower. Hit harddd by 4500 as converter opens all the way out.

My friends 6.0 notch runs the twin on3 76's on .96's as well. E85 and aggressive tune it will spool them but also takes alittle while. Hes been over 1050 whp with them

Not sure why you sold the other small turbos. A single 475 with the 83 mm turbine would work well, or even 7675 turbonetics or magnum 7675

the gt3076's were to small on the turbines they moved a ton of friggen air at idle , been thinking about the 7875 for 399 from vsracing but i may as well just grab the s475 and know it will hit 1000 crank

im sure i wont have trouble spooling it witht he 3800 stall and transbrake and if i do i still have that nx direct port kit i can put to use plumbing it on the hsr presents its own issues though , id prolyl have to make spacers to go under the plenum

Re: and so it starts

The S475 is a good unit. I would pick the 1.32 housing. With lots of digging you can find a JDere unit that has the "race cover" and have an HP-series wheel installed.

I don't know why china puts small turbines on big compressors. But then again, they undersize the comp housing A/R for a given wheel.

Check out the Garrett turbine flow maps to figure out overall flow. You typically want 45-50% turbine flow of the compressor flow for best power.

right now its a tossup between the chine 78/75 the china 80/83 or the s475

might as well get the s475. its a quality turbo, will make great power and you can get them upgraded with 80+mm billet wheels for under $500. a box stock s475 will give a stock block a workout.

thats why i have a sawzall and plasma cutter and a welder................................ to make room for that big bitch lmfao

anyways over the next few days ill make my choice , cars on hold right now for atleast another week as the shop is packed full with farm equip its so bad u can barley walk threw the shop

any one of those 3 turbos should do 800whp , but its prolly going to be the s475 that i get so i dont have to upgade yet again down the road .


if anyone wants that t76 i got let me know im prolly going to put it up on ebay in the next week

Re: and so it starts

When you cut that rad support and headlight bucket areas out does it weaken the fenders or front end at all? I dont think it would but i'm about to cut mine out for weight

i didnt notice anything at all. the metal that is in their is very thin and in my opinion has no structural support. i am redoing my rad mount and im going to tie in the front frame rails to add a little support.

You are dangerously crossing into strip only territory.

9 seconds is wicked cool if it's got power steering, motor mounts, full interior, and it can make a 300 mile trip without over heating.

You start turning it into a track only car and you've lost your coolness.

i just prefer the manual steering , the motor plate was just a thought prolly wont do it. as far as whats a street car and whats strip only, as long as u can legally tag and insure it its a street car


case in point 9 second pump gas car

Re: and so it starts

The state I live in you can tag and insure just about anything with a motor.

If the vehicle is 20 years old, emissions equipment can be removed. (yes, removed!) you an alter pretty much everything. The only thing they don't want is fuel cell's in the trunk for some odd reason.

Re: and so it starts

Joe's got a point Dave. Nothing more cooler than a fast vehicle with full interior driven on the street, legally. Case in point, Sal's old 6 second twin turbo Dodge Viper, full weight, still has IRS too. This is the greatest and fastest street car on the planet, and it weighs more than your Iroc, running a drag radial too, 6 second car, so don't get too carried away bro with weight reduction and frame modification...

mines comming out to keep the wife from driving it , though with the skinnys on the front it prolly wont stop her.



rob its not about wiegth reduction and all that its about getting that big bitch of an s475 to fit lmao. reason i thought about the motor plate was so i could do single 5 inch off the turbine into dual 3 inch down past the engine , really dont want to dump a 5 inch downpipe infront of the front tires

Re: and so it starts

Shouldn't be a problem Dave. I stepped up to an 88mm turbo and the hood still closes, just had to cut the downpipe a little because it was now hitting the firewall. I thought about cutting the rad support out too back when I started, but after seeing how fast some V6 guys are running with regular under the oil pan meeting on the passenger side setups, figured why give myself that extra work. Valve springs are too weak, and the tensioner pulley is chirping like a ten foot sparrow, other than that, very easy to work on, just waiting on outside temps to at least reach freezing to do it, which is sarcasm because its been like 0 degrees lately...

S475 can be put over in the battery tray area too.

It will be interesting to see how much ET it gains. I looked at your thread but the smaller turbo timeslips have disappeared. What was the ET with the old turbo? Gonna do chronicles of 8 sec thread with the 88mm unit?

How do you support the turbo? Make a brace to the frame, and then a flex pipe to the hot side ?

Too much leverage on aluminum heads IMO.. I'd brace it.
