What do you guys think? I know what they're capable of, but I want to hear what you guys think would be a better turbo for a 320whp to 340whp car. My motor WILL have IE rods. Lets hear it peeps Also I don't care about the difference in price, only the turbo itself. :thumbup:
*another update... Car is now DBB 50 Trim'd (1-8-2013) Just a couple new pics
*edit* garrett journal bearing 50 trim in pics below. (2-12-2011)
yea, i plan to do 20, 22-23, and 25 psi runs. i say i feel it on the butt dyno because i wont get pwned by ASR in 3rd if i run 20-21 psi. if its 22.5-23, i get pwned by asr in 3rd if i dont turn it off. happened last night :facepalm:
I want to see the difference in hp and tq it makes!
I'll be boosting 1.5bar, and not sure I want to boost much higher, due to being a JB turbo...
Not sure though.
I've run up to 22-25psi - 44,000 miles. The oil seal is definitely leaking right now on me though. I"m trying to upgrade the CHRA to DBB, but it may just get rebuilt at PAG if I can't swing the additional $$.
ever since I made this thread i said i was shooting for 320-340whp. The number is right where i wanted to be from day 1 so im happy in that regard. i have a so-so setup as well so i think i'm doing pretty good for 2" hotside piping, no tweaks or logs ever taken. of course i would have been happy to see 340whp+ today, but that can easily be attained. The car has more in it for sure, but for right now i am happy. also, i know the car makes more power on the street than on the dyno
*edit also i have a cxracing intercooler i love this thing, but we all know there are better intercoolers out there. i could easily see a 10+whp diff if I went w/ a pag 500HP FMIC kit
Those were nice numbers:thumbup:
I hope to see something along those lines too.
I have 2.5" hot and cold side, big port intake, etc.
I'll be doing some tuning tomorrow to see if I can get to a dyno anytime soon too.
thanks :beer: you know whats funny? those are the exact same torque numbers i dyno'd on stock turbo w/ uni stg 1+ lol. with the 50 trim you get all the BT horsepower, but none of the rod breaking torque :laugh: i gained 110whp over stg 1+ and kept the same torque!
thanks:beer: yeah if I let Arnold tweak my file when i go to NY i'm sure i'd have a much better running car:thumbup: The man has done a hell of a job remote tuning tho :beer: I can't wait to get this VVT update from Eurodyne. It'll prob run a little better, but I'm really curious about the faster spool times guys are claiming
i did mail him my ECU back for a reflash once since i went BT(the idle was just too bumpy for me). I just pulled the ECU and mailed it back in again. I've still never taken a single log on my car so I have no idea what he did, but when I got it back the car idle'd much better than the 1st flash I had. I'm happy with it now
