Vids from the previous owner! The car has a nice deep rumble during idle! It is pretty much just a 3" pipe from the turbo back with a universal hks...I think Mdforcefed's ITB's sounds amazing!
So I'm guessing you have the first of it's kind ATP turbo kit? Or you simply got their turbo and slapped it on an xspower like manifold?
I love the turbo spool sound
Oh no no, it's just the ATP turbo... Literally speaking, it's just their 0.78 A/R T3-based turbine housing with a GT3076R. The manifold is a generic twin-scroll manifold with a T3 flange welded to it. It's the same one I was running when I had my old T4-based turbos (T67, T04B/T4 and GT4088R) Here's the same list I have on the Youtube video:
Turbo IS300
Stock 2JZ-GE Motor
ATP GT3076R Twin Scroll 0.78A/R Turbo
Generic Twin-scroll Tubular Manifold
3" DP/MP
Supra TT Exhaust
JDM Supra GTE DBW Throttlebody
Tial 44mm Wastegate
GReddy Type-S BOV
Greddy E-Manage Ultimate
DMT Fuel System
DMT Meth Injection
345 WHP/350 lbft during video...
I didn't have a clean dyno graph of the runs because this turbo spools really early, but my E-shift is having a hard time producing a clean run. But in a few weeks, I will try to dyno the car in snow mode just to get a clean graph but with a little loss of power. I am very sure this turbo makes full 12 PSI of boost at 3000RPM from the way it roasts tires off the line.
Damn I love the sound of that turbo. Is it the same one listed in your sig for your IS? It sounds like the T51R but with quick quick spool.
Thanks! Yup, it's the same turbo listed on my sig... The turbo is loud, but still nowhere near as loud as the T51R though. My IS300 has a really quiet exhaust on there, so it really amplifies the sound on video.
To explain a few details on the video, each of the runs on the video I would let off the throttle between each shift. First it was to take out the stress on the transmission because I am still on 100% OEM transmission (built one is still not repaired yet)... Second it was to illustrate how quick the turbo spools back up between shifts more for the 5-spd folks to see.. And third, it sounds way better hearing the BOV + respooling of the turbo Although the automatic is really sloppy and takes a long time to upshift into the next gear. The chase car is a 310 WHP Volvo 850R.
