does anyone know anyone or of anyone who has done a single turbo upgrade on there vr4(3000gt) cause i am planing on starting a new motor and i was wondering how hard it would be cause i think that would be extremely diffrent and rare

markley02 · 08-10-2006, 08:09 AM

Why is the better question. Do you want more lag???

TalonTsi97 · 08-10-2006, 11:28 AM

My friends will be getting a 3000gt in a few months, so i have been searching around about them. I seen no need for a single turbo, with twin 16g's you can have 500hp with stock motor. No need to go threw all the hassle or problems when its not as hard as people thinks to make the power in them.
My friend was looking to buy soem huge turbos and all thinkign make ton of power, and now that hes seeing what 16g's can do hes pretty happy with just going with them.

SexyDSM95 · 08-10-2006, 12:07 PM

Or just get one huge turbo and one small turbo!

markley02 · 08-10-2006, 12:10 PM

but it is a V6 not an I6. all the piping of the exhaust manifold would create too much lag, correct? Plus I dont think there is too much room to fit one huge turbo in there

there would be virtually no benefit to running a single turbo set up... even the guys running 9's at the track in these cars are using twin turbos.

Isnt there only one in the 9's? no nitrous thou, but pretty much a gutted race car type of deal.
The power is in these cars, there are just heavy and need good bit of money into them.

Spoolin92vr4 · 08-10-2006, 03:26 PM

yeah true i really ddin't concider all the piping that i would need which thinking about it would cause alot of lag

markley02 · 08-10-2006, 03:32 PM

the setup of the motor sucks to begin with because the orientation of the crank. If the crank ran front to rear and not side to side there would be less lag as well. that rear turbo has to push more air to match the front turbo because the front turbo has much less piping before the crappy plastic y-pipe.

plus you gotta figure out an intercooler situation as well...stick with twins

revenant · 08-10-2006, 06:49 PM

I'm pretty sure I've seen some guys on 3Si with single turbo vr4's. But yea, like everyone else said, most people just get bigger twins. I know there are a few SL-T's around but even most fwd guys go twin turbo rather than single when they upgrade. I even talked to a guy yesterday with a m90 supercharger on an SL(3000gt)

I think staying TT would be alot easier b/c you can just keep bolting on, but a big single would def. be something different.

Jourdan · 08-10-2006, 07:09 PM

wrx td04 + bigger turbo= good resluts.

Mike94TT · 08-10-2006, 09:13 PM

Something like this?

Too much money to custom fabricate that, stick with the twins. The setup of the motor is made for twins, if it were inline that'd be a different story.

Vr-4-Life · 08-11-2006, 12:17 AM

for one theres no room for one large and one small turbo so using a small to spool a large is out .. i own a vr4.. lol also a large turbo will lag like **** our motors have low ass compression and make no power to spool a large turbo.. do 15gs or hell even 18 gs.. ull be fine ..

TalonTsi97 · 08-11-2006, 12:34 AM

From what i seen with 16gs, i say its more then enough for most people. I think you do a basic setup motor with cams and 18g's and you set. 11's all day.
Then maybe save up some money and do a minor build and be puttin out real good numbers on it
