Regarding installation of this Pontiac G8 Turbo Kit:

We are the parts supplier, not mechanic. We can try our best to help with generic questions, but it is best to consult a professional turbocharger installer with specific questions.

There are no installation instructions included. The install is simple and most customers install it themselves in a weekend. If you cannot figure it out or feel uncomfortable with the installation, please have a professional assist.

Most of these parts are direct bolt-ons. Some are not.

The piping needs to be fitted up. Because of the bends and couplers included, it should be simple.

The T3 turbo flange needs to be welded to an adapter pipe or directly to the stock manifold.

To run this on a street car, the turbocharger down pipe will need to be connected to your existing exhaust. Expect to fabricate an adapter pipe or have an exhaust shop connect them.

COBB Tuning announces the availability of the XLE Blow Off Valve (BOV) for turbo equipped Subarus and the MAZDASPEED3. The COBB XLE BOV can be configured to operate in multiple modes using simple hand tools. Innovative engineering and precision manufacturing result in a compact package capable of holding high levels of boost consistently and reliably.

The COBB XLE BOV can operate in one of three modes with simple adjustments. Full recirculation is achieved by plumbing the primary output back into the intake pre-turbo with the auxiliary port closed. Full atmosphere is possible by opening both the primary port and auxiliary port to atmosphere. A hybrid mode is also possible by pluming the primary port into the intake and leaving the auxiliary port open to atmosphere, causing much of the air to recirculate to retain driveability, while still creating an audible exhaust of some of the boost pressure.

Spring preload determines the pressure differential across the BOV piston required before the BOV opens and releases the pressurized intake charge. The COBB XLE BOV can be adjusted by loosening the locknut and turning the hex-head shaft clockwise for more preload or counter-clockwise for less preload. Once preload is set, the locknut is retightened and ensures the adjustment is secure.

Materials used to construct the COBB XLE BOV ensure ease of maintenance and long service life. The mounting flange, body, vent cover and piston are constructed of 6061 T6 aluminum, the spring seat is made from 303 stainless steel and the primary outlet is polished cast aluminum. O rings are used around the piston and on the mounting flange to ensure optimal sealing. The valve body is hard anodized for strength and corrosion resistance. The piston is dry filmed lubricated, providing enduring maintenance free service.

COBB Tuning is offering the XLE BOV for the following applications:

The COBB XLE BOV is a limited edition piece and will not be available for long.

GOTO:Racing’s GT-R represents the very edge of development for this particular platform. There are perhaps a handful of fully race-prepared GT-Rs in the world. Of course, because this vehicle is not a factory effort, the progress on the GOTO GT-R is a direct reflection of the aftermarket industry that supports the GT-R. GOTO:Racing and the Lock family have prepared a state of the art chassis. However, at a comparatively heavy 3,400 pounds, this race car needs serious power to be competitive.

The GOTO:Racing GT-R is equipped with the COBB Tuning AccessPORT and custom mapping from a collaboration of Tim Bailey from COBB Tuning Surgeline, Portland, OR and Jon Drenas of HB Speed, Hunington Beach, CA. This form of engine management was a natural choice with the stock turbo chargers and just over 520whp, but some suggested with the recent addition of larger turbos from AMS and fuel injectors from Deatschwerks, that a standalone engine management system was needed. We are pleased to demonstrate in no uncertain terms that the COBB Tuning AccessPORT, with supporting modifications and competent tuning, is capable of coordinating extremely high horsepower.

Specifications:
Vehicle – 2010 Nissan GTR – race prepared by GOTO Racing/Brian Lock Racing
Engine – stock GT-R
Turbo – AMS stock location turbo upgrade
Injectors – Deatschwerks (800cc)
Fuel – 100 octane unleaded
Exhaust– fully catless 3”
Intake – Custom Harman Motive 3.1” ID intake with stock MAF sensors

Technical Tuning details
The key to tuning this car is the addition of the larger inner diameter intakes, kindly supplied by Harman Motive. The stock intake inner diameter is just 2.5-inches. This substantive increase in intake cross sectional area means that we can accurately measure up to 40% more airflow than is possible with the stock intake system. As you can see from the graph below, we were able to flow close to the limits of the MAF sensor without saturating their 5-Volt limit.

Because we were able to accurately meter airflow throughout the full RPM and boost range, the tuned stock ECU can easily control ignition timing and fueling. We have supplied relevant information for the rest of the tuning parameters in the additional graphs.

Since its release, the Nissan R35 GT-R has been in need of high flow downpipes. The Agency Power Stainless Steel Catless Downpipes fit either the stock or any aftermarket exhaust system. Constructed of durable, high quality 304 stainless in a full 3″ diameter. The improved flow from the larger diameter catless pipes produce more power, keep boost pressure up and provide improved throttle response for you R35 GT-R. Each Agency Power Downpipe has oxygen sensor bungs, thick flanges and sturdy hangers.

With the option of a Jet Hot black ceramic coating, the AP downpipes will also help reduce exhaust temps.

The Agency Power Down Pipes have seen gains of +40hp and +20tq on a conservative AWD Mustang Dyno when attached with supporting mods.

ATS Diesel has introduced a complete bolt-on turbo kit for the 1999.5–2003 7.3L. The Aurora Turbo System will be available for these years of Power Strokes in the Aurora 3000, Aurora 4000, Aurora 5000 and Aurora 6000 configurations. As with other ATS kits, no end user fabrication is needed and the kit is supplied with the required mounting hardware, including the cast pedestal, up-pipes and intake pipes. The design of the Aurora Turbocharger supports towing and upgraded power applications, with increased airflow which, according to ATS Diesel, surpasses factory turbo output. Often the up-pipes in the factory system can begin to display leaks when the gasket material fails due to drive pressures fed to the turbo, the ATS system remedies this by using leak-free metal gaskets. This, as well as the many other changes that were made for the Aurora System versus the OEM design, creates a performance advantage for 7.3L owners and opens the door for the many applications that these trucks are used for, according to ATS Diesel. For more information, call (800) 697-7702, ext. 21419.

SP Engineering has installed another Greddy turbo kit on a customers R35 GT-R, and had some impressive results. 700 wheel horsepower on 91 octane fuel.

Current mods:
Greddy Turbo Kit
Greddy BOV + Pipe Kit
Greddy Intercooler Kit
Denso 850 CC Injectors
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Dual 255 LPH Fuel Pump kit (SP Engineering in house only)
HKS Plugs Heat Range 9
HKS EVC 6
HKS Resonated Mid Pipe
HKS Legamax Exhaust
Haltech

After the 91 octane runs, it was time to step up the octane and run the car on 109 octane and it did 749 awhp at 1.6 bar of boost.

Then the fuel was switched out again, to my favorite big turbo, big boost fuel – C16. 117 octane leaded race gas and the car laid down 775 awhp. This is now one of the most powerful, if not “the” most powerful R35 GT-R in the world

Part Number 15179

Spearco Intercoolers introduces a new large capacity, high flow, front mount intercooler upgrade for the BMW 335i coupe and sedan and 135i coupe, increasing horsepower and torque. Made for those looking to increase the horsepower and efficiency of their 335i/135i to match the great factory torque delivery, Turbonetics heat exchanger brand Spearco, now offers bolt-on upgrades for the 2007-up coupes and sedans.

Performance:
• 14.38 horsepower average increase over stock at higher boost levels
• Averaged 14.3 pressure in and 14.1 pressure out – Only 0.2 pressure drop
• Temperature drops average over 125° F and 10% better than stock

Details:
• Fits both 335i and 135i models
• Drop in upgrade for both manual & automatic transmissions
• Bolt-on intercooler kit…no modifications required
• Bar and plate core design – designed for rugged conditions and high boost levels
• Computer modeled core design – high effectiveness and low pressure drop
• Works with all ECU upgrade programs
• Strong aluminum end tanks and piping replaces the weak factory plastic
• Installs in under three hours
• Part Number 15179

BMW owners can now enjoy the benefits of increased flow and more efficient air to help dramatically lower intake air temperatures to increase power. By using a massive 6” thick W.A.V.E. Technology core, the Spearco front mount intercooler dropped charge air temperatures on average of 125 degrees on the twin turbo vehicle. In addition to lower intake air temperatures, the pressure of air exiting the intercooler compared to the pressure entering the unit was only an amazing 0.20 psi drop. The stock unit has over one pound of pressure loss/drop due to the factory unit’s lack of efficiency and limited size. When the stock unit is upgraded to the Spearco you will have less heat and more power due to the ability to quickly and efficiently move the pressurized air through the intercooler assembly.

Once the initial investment is made, the result is a lifetime of free power and improved fuel economy. The intercooler reduces charge air temperature entering the engine, increasing the air density for increased power and torque, while reducing the overall thermal load on the engine and cooling system as exhaust temperatures are reduced at the same time. This results in less transfer of heat to the cooling system, and engine compartment and assists in maintaining normal temperatures on long hard power pulls. Since the intercooler is mounted in the factory location there is no need to worry about making any modifications to the vehicle. In addition to power and performance, you can anticipate an increase in fuel economy as the cooler, denser air creates a leaner air-to-fuel ratio.

Spearco’s drop-in replacement intercooler upgrade features W.A.V.E. Technology bar and plate cores for increased strength and efficiency by utilizing the maximum surface area of the cores available each core is pressure tested to over 200+ psi. Hand crafted and precision welded, each Spearco assembly is fabricated to strict tolerances and every unit is pressure tested underwater to ensure a leak free intercooler assembly. The Spearco Intercooler upgrade drops in place very easily in 2-3 hours time. Combined with higher boost pressures, the Spearco 335i/135i front mount intercooler provides a win-win combination of additional power and increased efficiency.

HKS has released GT wastegate actuators for the 08+ Evo X and Nissan Silvia S14/S15. These HKS actuators have three distinct advantages over their OEM counterparts. They use a larger diameter diaphragm enabling increased boost stability and response at higher rpm ranges. They utilize a turnbuckle type rod end enabling boost level adjustment without the removal of the rod end from the crank arm of the turbine. And lastly these actuators are constructed from billet aluminum with a purple finish.

HKS introduces the third generation Super Sequential Blow-Off Valve, Super SQV3. In 1994 HKS introduced the first Sequential Blow-Off Valve with a unique pull-type sequential valve structure and a differential pressure control system that allows a broad operation range from low to high boost. This pull-type relief design ensures stable operation regardless of boost pressure.

New Super SQV 3 features include a nickel-plated, die-cast metal secondary valve which is swaged to the primary valve, a stainless steel C-Clip and spring to increase sealing and durability. To assure buyers that they are purchasing an authentic HKS product, the new design incorporates a holographic HKS logo on the back of the valve as well as additional HKS logos cast onto the body.

The Super SQV 3 utilizes the same mounting flanges as all previous generation SSQV’s to assure compatibility with all optional HKS SSQV inserts, recirculation fittings and recirculation kits. The new SSQV 3 valves also come with a lower MSRP!
