Continuing to watch with interest..................

What injectors and fuel pump do you run on that Kev?

Looking at a very similar (if not identical) setup

Would be interesting to see spool of the sleeve bearing sc40 against the roller bearing sc46, on a 2.0, if such a direct comparison is available...

Hi,

they are different turbo's the SC36 billet and the SC40 billet are budget turbo's which is reflected in the price, its a big jump to the SC46 billet which is roller bearing hence the price difference.

True though spool would be interesting to compare, as are all the results, we just keep on testing.

Got an SC36 billet on a 2.0 ltr sti version 5 on the dyno at the moment, its just seen 381.9 bhp, but its a bit lean and we have maxed out the 550cc injectors and pump, further investigation required, once richened up we expect the power to stabilise at around 370 bhp which is where we intended the SC36 billet to max out,

Not bad for a budget turbo.

Keep you posted.

cheers
Kev

Just the same as a sleeve bearing.

A TD05 for instance has sleeve bearings, a phosphor bronze bush the main shaft runs in, along with thrust/end bearing, also phosphor bronze.
The alternative is roller bearings.
The claimed advantages of roller bearings is less drag or friction so in theory, quicker spool. In reallity, turbo design factors are probably more important.
If a roller bearing turbo goes wrong then repair is often a replacement cartridge and that can be very expensive. Repair to a sleeve bearing is relatively simple with a repair kit and providing the shaft is not scored is a comparably cheaper repair.
In my experience, a sleeve is more rugged and certainly more tolerant to antilag.

Hi,

sorry I missed that question, could not have answered it any better though

One thing to add for Mick who asked, the turbo fitted to his STi 8 is a VF35 and is a sleeve bearing as standard

Hi Kev, That looks like a great result so far, should be similar for my 04 sti then. Im guessing Duncan has got my new SC36 billet I'm just waiting to hear when he can come and fit/map it for me. Would you say I should fit the 650cc injectors I have then or stick with the sti's?
cheers, Rob

Hi,

sti pinks are good for 380 to 420bhp depending on fuel pressure so should be fine for your application

Good luck with the fitting / mapping, hope all goes well

Kev, in this thread there is good talk about the use of Methanol. Looking at it a 10% mix gives a nice power increase, is it just a case of pouring the methanol in getting the ECU mapped accordingly or does anything else have to be done. Possibly a idiots guide to using Methanol could be included in this thread or a new thread before someone uses it, things go wrong and a bad post is put up.
