What gearbox are you using?

Tom.

At the moment a modified T5.
Planning for a TR6060 behind the LS

The beauty of going with the 35 is that the kit is already designed to fit the TVR. Eann Whalley has fitted GT35's to 10 TVRs already. I will be giving him the turbo tomorrow and having a chat about other details. Will look like this when done http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd117/dbv8/Mobile%20U...

I ordered it on Friday. Just seen your email Stevie.... too late now. Its a genuine GTX3582r T4 1.06 A/R and 3" V band. We reckon it will work well. After seeing my mates Chinese copy GT3582 give 573 bhp at 18 psi i ordered this one straight away. Simple fit. With 30% more efficient heads (wildcat) ...

It looks like we wont be trying to modify the Rover inlet for the wild cat heads so am looking for options.

I like the look of something like this



Need ideas and recommendations on someone that could make one for me.

What's the engine spec?

Tom.

It's a crossbolt 4.6 with low comp forged pistons, TVR heads stage 4 I think, TVR hydraulic cam, ported inlet, 72mm plenum, mega squirt 2.

Thanks for that Stevie.
How would that GT4094R stack up do you think?

Might still be interested.
If its a possible solution then could i have it for trial fit?

Turbo dynamics have offered to send a dummy EFR for fitting trials. Maybe i should ask them to send a larger one

words from turbo dynamics.... I’m afraid the GT3582 is not really going to help you achieve the kind of power figures you are chasing. A GTX3582 would suit better and be good for 700-750bhp but is probably a bit on the small side for a 5L displacement. We are also a distributor of BorgWarner turboch...

I was offered a BW from turbo dynamics with a good discount but heard there were some bad stories. I guess like most things there will be good and bad. Apart fom price i havent heard anything too bad about Garrett. We have chosen a T3 due to size really. Space is a little tight. Also the fitting kit...

I am about to order a turbo for my latest engine build. I think I am decided on a genuine Garrett GTX3582r T3 4 bolt with 1.06 A/R. The engine is a 5.0 rover v8 from ACR. Offset crank, Chevy rods, forged pistons. A pair of stage 1 wildcat heads. 9:1 CR. I am aiming for 550 bhp on low boost but ultim...

So my new engine is currently being built at ACR. A 5.0 ACR remanufactured block with an offset ground crank, chevy rods and forged pistons. Roland is fitting his new Wildcat heads and we are fitting a turbo (probably a GTX3582R). Yet to be sorted is an intake manifold. Any ideas that wont break the...

I think I could have nudged a 10 if my engine hadn't detonated. The new motor is getting a turbo as we speak. The engine is getting built with wildcat heads and a custom inlet. Yet to decide on the turbo and cam. Would be interested to hear suggestions here. Currently considering a copy GT3582 from...
