I'm pretty sure they fit. I think LMR did a car a while ago with 35Rs on the car that made 4 digits.

Oh sweet Mary mother. Them are fine looking indeed. (Mr. Burns voice) Excellent, Smithers get my KY and Kleenex I have work to do.

What is the AR on them? They look larger but hard to tell.

KWIKSS runs a GT35R compressor on the regular APS T28 exhaust housing. The issue he ran into was on the inlet side. Some modification was required but the largest obstacle is the Inlet system. The compressor cover inlet is in a very tight spot with the steering shaft on one side and the K-Member on the other. We were going to build some out of stainless and it proved to be a very difficult task, cost and time wise, so it was abandoned for screens.

Just a little FYI.

He is running the BMR K-Member they were selling on the initial run of the kit.

The K-Member isnt the biggest issue. You've seen the APS inlets, they snake around and narrow between the frame and steering shaft. Im not talking smack, i hope you make it work. I am anxious to see a(nother) solution to the issue.

the new k member, you dont have to snake it around. andi wasnt thinking you were talking smack. just wanted to know.

and Warren

i have a stage one kit. correct.

the stage two kit has ugraded mit 20s. just like stage one kit but more air flow.

i have now have bolt on GT35 housings. so this would be like a stage 3 kit. if you looked at it that way.

When and if, do you think these might be available to the rest of the APS community. Have any of the sponsors agreed to carry them or are the mods willing to let you distribute them to help out us APS owners looking for more options. I would hope that they would let you but I am just guessing at this point. I agree with you not trying to stir up anything or cause trouble for anyone especially yourself. I like others would love the idea of a 1.06 AR exhaust housing on our larger engines just to help them breath.

Awesome work in finding them, hope things work out for you getting it running by the shoot out. I would love to see that beast in person that’s for sure.

ok i will try to answer a few questions.

These are custom APS garret housings. they work on a gt3582r with a 1.06 AR.
so these will be great for a small but powerfull cube motor. and clear up to a 454 ci motor. these are a great option for APS guys.

as far as selling them. to my knowlegde there is only a few places that could get these. My company is one. now i am not a sponsor on here so i dont ahve any plan of selling these right now. please dont ask.

now if i get these done. on my car(377 high boost) and a customers camaro(427 small boost) and things go great. and i can get more. i will deffenately be selling these. i will get a sponsor ship here on the forum. but it will be for a short time. it is a little pricey. i dont want prices brought up on here. so please dont ask. closes i can say is. they will be more than LG upgrade. but you are getting ball bearing. and a for sure torubo that willl support a 427. but at this time lets just set that aside. the point of these trhead is to show you how they fit and how they work on a small cube and big cube motor. so bear with me. work is swapped so all i reall have is the weekends right now. car should see dyno next week. na. followed by 2 days and turbo kit on with gt.

i have thought about doing the mits and pushing them at wastegate spring. and then doing garretts and psuhing them at waste gate spring.
