subscribed... the new doms are the catalyst to finally cause me to upgrade.. that and the black friday discounts.. yummy stuff.

 

I was 90% sure I was going with Blouch. This gave me the other 10% I needed. Thanks for the review man.

 

You will not be dissapointed....trust me!

 

LOL now i just need to wait until next year. Ive spent to much money on my car in the 3 months I've owned it.

 

very nice, I am planning on going with a blouch 20g very soon. Good to hear about great customer service. One question for you though. I am also converting to top feed injecters. Do the stock tgvs(sidefeed) convert easily to top feed?

They dont convert at all, find a used wrx or top feed sti set and they work perfect. I suggest deleting the tgvs inside.

 

Thanks for the input. Tgv delets are on the list as well!

 

mine is installed dom 3 xtr im puttin breakin miles on it now..then TUNE!!!!!! ..i have spearco tmic tho..

 

Break-in a turbo?

 

As for the turbo, install with very easy, turbo fits better than the old Dom 3. The performance is very similar except it seems to pull more up in the high rpms with the same mid range, also spools faster. Made 413hp and 398 tq with the old Dom 3 and I cant wait to get this on the dyno and see what power numbers it lays down.

is that right...? hmm there was some discussion in another thread about spool time and response as in regard to these turbos (2.5xt-r to be exact) on a 2.0L, and i for one said i'd gladly take the .5 seconds of lag for the higher top end punch lol. you sir, just helped make my decision more fulfilling. correct me if im wrong, but the OG 3.0R you sent back had the 8cm housing correct? and this newer, bigger (10cm) redesigned housing not only spooled quicker, but pulled harder too? i think ill be sellin my 18g SOON lol

 

In for numbers, pretty sure this is going to be my next turbo.

 

where in FL are you?

 

Live in Land O Lakes, work for Infiniti of Tampa, near the Stadium.

 

nevermine

 

nevermind, meaning youre no longer running the xt-r?

 

Just finished installing the meth kit, will post pics tonite, hopefully off to the dyno for some tuning early next week so i will have some numbers and graphs to show with just boost then with the meth.

 

Awesome man! I can't wait to see what the dyno looks like. I'm running meth on the stock turbo and will be upgrading it in the future. The DOM 3 XTR is one that I'm looking at.

 

Got mine a month or so ago, cant wait till spring to get it tuned!

 

show them numbies

 

weeerrdddddddd

 

Numbas!!!

 

ok sorry about the delay but ive been mad busy, mainly with the car. To recap put the new XT-R blouch dom3 with that crazy billet wheel and 10cm2 hot side on, totally stock block, stock pistons and all. sent it back to CFT in orlando for a tune. put down 468whp and 428tq, during the drivablitity tune on the street the car pulls so hard its crazy. coming back from to the shop car started to miss. found my catch can full of oil. compression test found front two cyl. low on compression between 80-90 psi vs 140psi on the back two. pulled the motor this morning. both pistons broke in the ringland between rings. Called CFT in orlando, should have a set of forged pistons and head studs by tuesday. I took a ton of pics today and this last week but cant figure how to post em on here. when its back together ill make a video of the dyno and road tuning and post it on youtube for all to see. Anyway car should be back on the road for some breakin miles tues night, plan on staying at the shop late to put it together. hope everyone is having a great holiday week and enjoying the nice weather.

 

Sucks about the news man! Same exact thing happened to me except, just with just stage 2 setup. Do you have an egt gauge? If so what was it at around failure? I rebuilt with cosworth rods and pistons, hopefully will run an xtr when I get some more money. Good luck with the rebuild!

 

468whp on stock internals? were you trying to break something?

GL w. the rebuild..

yeah, didnt set out to break anything, didnt think it would make that kinda power on pump gas and meth. its was the second pull on the dyno that started to show over 450 and he fine tuned from there. thought it would hold for a little while. guess a little while turned out to be much shorter than i thought. Turned out for the best, could use a fresh set of pistons and i had no idea it was so easy to take these motors apart. Different but more simple than the nissan/infiniti's i do everyday. Think i will stay around that level even with the upgrades. I rarely make it to the track so thats enough for the street.

 

Damn... Im going to have to stay away from this turbo lol. It makes too much power which I never thought I'd say lol. I guess 20g it is for me.

 

dyno sheet of this? and how much boost were you running to make that much power, good lawd lol?!

 

418 at 19.5psi pump gas...430whp on 22psi/meth......468 @ 27psi/meth

 

looks like youve got a wicked street fighter on your hands. congrats!

+1 dyno sheet; +1 91 octane?, and +1 for having to becareful of this turbo..

It would be damn hard to ask the tuner to leave it be at 430whp/22psi knowing how much more there was left.

looks like ill be researching shortblocks and internal workings next. =/

 

hope my parts ship this am so i can slap this thing together tomaro nite!! heres to a xmas miracle

 

pump gas? 91? thats crazy!
