Looks to me like their 16G-XT-R is the basis of the SC38, 18G-XT-R is the basis of the SC42 and the 20G-XT-R is the basis of the SC46. All the quoted power figures seem to match up.
Do you know what Scoobyclinic change on these to enable them to quote improvements and sell as their own design? Are the SC turbo's really that much better than the original Blouch turbos?
Don't get me wrong, I think I'm still in the market for an SC turbo if I can convince myself. lol.

Have a look over on NASIOC the break em down into wheel sizes etc.
The SC just have a 7cm housing to aid spool but would limit power compared to 8cm or 10cm
I agree that the lbs min ratings do seem similar but id guess they are before the whole + range came about,
as i says pretty sure the 16/18/20gxtr are based on GT28 cartridge
Dominator based off Gt30
No difference if u get the blouch with cm housing and correct spec its the same turbo, SC certainly dont take em apart lol
Thanks for the link. To me that looks more like a 450bhp turbo really.
I was searching last night for specs on the SC42 and came on a post on here were someone said the one i linked is basicly the same but scoobyclinic use a 7cm housing - so rated at less power - which is why they dont offer that option in ball bearing core but in journal bearing.

Is that the billet version? That sounds like a very reasonable spool rpm for full boost. Is that using a FMIC?
The turbo was standard wheel but had some repair work at TD (previous owner had HKS filter) and came back like new, I don't think they billeted it but can't be certain.
The cooler was top mount, an AVO so about STI TMIC performance.
I have some graphs on vpower made 420, I'll see about putting them up if can.

That's a great result Trev. Must be ballistic on TMIC at that level too.
just read through this thread, i think 420bhp may be a little too much for my standard rods (even though they have arp rod bolts).
do they not do a turbo for around 380-400bhp?
I'd go for the SC38 then. They have also out-performed the quoted figures so you could see 380-400 depending on mods and meth if you want to go down that route.

Or the Blouch turbo RS John pointed to.
im not too clued up on turbos and boost etc but from what i gather its better to not run too much boost on my engine, i have a closed deck block but only 11mm arp headsuds or have i got confused somewhere?
i know that to get the goals you require you should go for the smallest turbo to reach those goals so for an example the sc46 would be the wrong choice on my engine.

Depends who you speak to regarding rods really. I have heard various people state the standard rods are good for 450bhp 450lb/ft and 7k rpm.
I have been told 4 different ratings by 4 well respected tuners....
TUNER A - says rods are good for 380bhp
TUNER B - says rods are good for 400bhp
TUNER C - says rods are good for 420bhp
TUNER D - says rods are good for 450bhp

Having been there I'd go MDX321H or MDX555-400 because they're roller bearing
SC told me the 42 outspools the 38 for the reason above.

Andy F said 450bhp max on std rods.
To be honest I thought Paul Finch had also told me that but I can't find my email confirming.

I'd play safe with rods, Paul Finch say's 380hp standard rods and wouldn't want to second guess him.
I would have thought a 400hp bang would be the same effect, which ever turbo.
