I wanted to give an initial review of the gnari turbo kit I just purchased.
Out of the box, the quality is outstanding. Everything from the finish on the manifold to the welding on the downpipe is great. I'm very impressed.
This kit comes with a ton of stuff: GN35R turbo, new cast manifold with external wastegate provision, 38mm external wastegate, downpipe, wastegate burn pipe, hardware for plumbing including oil feed line and water lines, manual boost controller, and gaskets. The entire kit also comes with their FMIC kit but I asked them to prorate the kit as I already have a FMIC.
From talking with Gnari reps, the turbo has parts from multiple manufacturers including a ball bearing compressor. The compressor is a .70 A/R - 82mm wheel with a .63 A/R - 68ish mm turbine. Compressor map shows good efficiency up to 25 psi which is good for roughly 500 hp. Turbine has a t3 flange with a 4 bolt discharge.
Unfortuantely, I have to wait to install this kit as I do all work on my car in my driveway and Jersey is an icebox right now. The plan is to run this kit with a pimpx ecu, upgraded fuel system, and clutch for a goal of 350 whp. I'm going to attach some pics of the hardware in the next post.
