Kev, when you tested these new turbos, was the reason they worked so well because you thoroughly cleaned them to a blinging shine beforehand??! Ergo... with Cilit Bang the Billets sang!

#ba'ra'dum'tsssssh#

Move over Bonnie Rarker, your spoonerisms are safe with me....

funny joz :-)

 

Kev looks nothing like "Arkwright"....g,g,g,granville

 

Any updates mr gaffer sir ?

 

Hi,

410 BHP at the moment.

Going home for a beer now.

Cheers
Kev

 

:-)

 

Had a billet GT35R .82 mapped on mine at Zens last week .
Made 615 BHP on my rcm 2.1 engine.20% Meth and v power
Paul thinks there is a lot more in it but my 850cc injectors maxed out.

 

Hi,

nice figure, well done.

Keep us updated , it will be interesting to see how it works on a 2.1, serious stuff though maxing out 850's.

Cheers
Kev

 

Had the pleasure of taking this car for a little drive this morning,(thanks Ian). Turbo certainly does everything it says on the tin and API have done a splendid job putting it all together, quality workmanship. Just makes me all the more eager to get the sc46twin on mine...
Ian, when mine is all done I will return the compliment. Thanks for the chat and advice about my gizzmo/compression horror story.Its not over yet, thats for sure

 

bloody ell kev . . You ever have a day off budd ?

 

Hi,

Nope.

Cheers
Kev

 

lol :-)

 

Is it just me or is the GT30R Billet the best solution rendering all these other turbo's a bit useless ?
I'm not trying to be a full fletched turbo guru here but i thought i'd share my observation.

Looking at the Sc series, even the smaller ones i don't really see dramatic spool up benefits and you clearly see that torque and HP drops significantly as rpm go past 5000.
I'd reckon that a GT30R would even be a great choice for those that don't want to push 500+ Hp and aim at let's say 420 Hp. They could reach that a relatively low boost levels making reliabillity a lot better.

Or am i missing something here ?

 

Maybe, but the rotated pipework to fit the GT30 could cost as much as the turbo itself which would put it out of many peoples budgets.

 

True, but even the Non Billet GT30R is a real performer and i believe that there are Bolt in versions on the market.

2.0 dyno plot ?

 

Any joy on that graph?

Hi Kev,

Noticed you sell the billet GT30R, do you also sell the rotated pipes etc?

Looking at a full rotated setup with external wastegate and screamer pipe.

Would the rotated Up-pipe be able to join up to OEM headers?

 

Hi,

the whole point of the direct fit range is that they do fit straight on, no messing with expensive pipework and the labour that goes with it, not forgetting the external wastegate and screamer pipe.

That said the rotated set up does breath easier and therefore performs better, it is correct what you say that there are turbo's out there using the GT30 cartridge fitted into a direct fit casting, to be fair our SC46, SC50 and SC54 use a derivitive of the GT30 cartridge with our billet wheel.

So yes, you are missing something, some people dont want the expense of the rotated setup, they simply want a direct fit, bolt on unit that performs, and these billet turbo's do perform, my personal car on a direct fit SC54 gives a whopping great 560 BHP on V power.

cheers
Kev

 

Hi,

we do sell the pipe work but to be fair we get if from RCMS as its the best on the market, you may as well buy it direct from Olly.


Cheers
Kev

 

That makes total sense and please don't see my comments as critisism.
I am looking for a turbo that can give me the following on a 2.35 build engine:

- fast spool up (asap)
- about 420 Bhp without running mad boost (about 20 psi)
- being able to run high rpms (272 degrees cams !) and still providing enough air

Is this even possible, if so what would you recommend Kev ?

 

SO ITS HERE... I am looking for a turbo that with make around 400-420, fast spool up to goes with the standard 2.0lt newage STi 8 engine... do they exist???

 

Kev,
Has the turbo changed spec as the SC54 Billet on page 1 made 528bhp on VPower?

 

Maybe running more boost ?

 

Hi,

no its the same as it was, my mistake, only human, 528 BHP.





Then we did a meth mix.





Its insane on the road, and not bad for a direct fit, no extra pipe work and no chiselling off lumps of block.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake, heavy day yesterday, cannot even blame it on a typo.

cheers
Kev

 

Hi,

in answer to both of these questions the SC46 Billet direct fit would be ideal, however on the 2.35 engine I would go to the extra expense and fit a rotated GT 30 Billet, the bottom end you have will be well caperble of dealing with it.

Graph below is an SC46 Billet on an STI 2.0 ltr, I must point out this car was 20 BHP down when we ran it before mods and has stayed that way all throughout testing, maybe its a friday car.





On the road the car is stunning, spool loads quicker than on the dyno.





410 bhp and 390 ftlb's.

Cheers
Kev

 

impressive!!!!!!! what sort of supporting mod is it on the car? and finally price for the turbo please... thanks

 

Hi

supporting mods as follows..............

SC46 Billet turbo
inlet pipe
Fuel pump
FMIC
injectors
induction kit
Syvecs ECU

The SC46 billet is £1295.00 + vat and is supplied with oil feed, oil drain, water pipes and both up and down pipe gaskets.

Cheers
Kev
