10k Revs of 2.5L Big Turbo AWD Rabbit Madness!

Those guys are more concerned with "low", led lights, and "high performance air intakes" than anything else

Yip.

Gabe, Rabbit looks good

[akauf]

looking good!


gunna need a bigger turbo for 1k hp.

dude with an evo recenty went from 775whp to 850whp just from switching to the 66mm turbine. turbo totally tapped out in both runs only change was the turbine.

Wow. That thing sounds scary... I love my 2.5. Just wish it was a manual

So 2 or 3 weeks ago with the revised and updated setup we strapped the Rabbit back down to the dyno. Unfortunately we were having some issues with what I believe was the head lifting which was causing pressure in the coolant jackets and also causing the coolant to overflow out of the bottle. Also we were not able to take it over 8k rpms because of a terrible tensioner issue on the main drive belt which causes it to kick the belt off. (IE is working on a fix as we speak) However we were able to put down an impressive 811AWHP on an AWD Superflow dyno pushing 28psi. Attached is a link of one of the dyno runs and as soon as I get the graphs I will post them as well. Enjoy.
This was at a local dyno day. Please ignore the hp numbers that are shown below. He was trying to calculate for a corrected sea level number however it is not accurate.

i just wanted to quote this so that new people can see what a 2.5L can do... with proper software!

props to gabe and the rest of the BW team.

does the bw400 kit include a turbo, or is that my choice and preference?

what are the client cars running that you have done?

yes it does. the best thing is to call before you buy and discuss with the very knowledgeable people at BW what your goals are.

together you will determine the best turbo for your application.

already know what i want, just wanted to know what it came with. i assume a large journal bearing t3 or something of the sort. if it comes with a ballbearing, that's awesome.

i already know what i want to use to utilize the engines performance and get the gains for the type of powerband desired based on the comp map vs engine,etc.

though it isn't my car, it will be awesome to have a very stealthy 2.5T running around.

especially on pro-maf tune.

Any further info on the engine spec other than the 1st page? I.e. what head work, oem crank?

Awesome car!

jesu joy of man's desiring... that thing sounds CRUEL.
i'll be happy with something half as nasty and respectably streetable, but is it seriously nice to see (and hear) what these little bastards can do. even happier to see it built from the same molasses 140ish whp '07 foundation i'm on! far above and beyond any 2.slow, and with the reliability of these engines you can score a clean block for the cost of a couple rough nights on the town. i'm dead set on building my gal a terminator heart once she turns 150k, and not one mile more.
