Hi,

arrived today our new VF34 beater, ( hopefully )

This is a direct fit turbo designed to beat the 340bhp bracket usually dominated by the VF34

Fitting today, testing tomorrow this direct fit turbo should beat the VF34 considerably with no loss of spool, we hope to see 370bhp approx from a standard 2.0ltr car, somthing like a P1

Keep you posted.

cheers
Kev

Free bump!

It's funny how, all of a sudden, I seem to have a developed a burning desire to follow this thread isn't it?!

Wonder how much abuse I'll get 'cos my post count is so low...

Keep up the good work lads!

Tidgy

pmsl, only joking.

Danny_P

Dunno, I'm running a VF43 at the moment!

(well I was until some toerag in Chesterfield pulled the bloomin' thing out yesterday)

Tidgy

Hi,

the 340 bhp to 380 bhp area has allways been a bit of a grey area, we have the 18 and 20G stuff, but not everyone wants to spend that sort of money, and the results seem a little inconsistant.

The turbo we have just got back for testing is a direct fit VF34 sized turbo with a differant core, we are a tad behind on testing due to work comitments, but are aiming to get it done asap

Hope its better than last time we tested it

Keep you posted whatever the result

cheers

Kev, I just happen to have the ideal test vehicle for the GT33 Billet and I am sure we would significantly add to the considerable data you have already accumulated on both road and funny fuel but on a 2 litre application. Forged pistons, steel rods, the works and full instrumentation so we know what is going on.
Let me know when the first turbo will be in the UK.

any more updates

The Gaffer

Hi,
simply bolted on the P1 test mule, power went from 302 BHP up to 320 BHP, a nice gain with more to come, it certainly shows potential with no loss of spool at all above the stock VF28

Its the gain thats important not the numbers

More testing to come on Monday.

quick one for you guys il be looking for a turbo in the new year that is suited to a 2.1 stroker my aim is 500+ but needs to be as responsive as possible as the car will be used for hill climbs and sprints but dont want to go rotated thanks dave

If it's the HTA68 in a td05 housing, I've made 366hp on a 2.0 wrx using 95 RON fuel and water/meth injection, so I would expect similar results with plain V-power and no WI. It made 316hp with no WI on plain 95 RON fuel (at slightly less boost because the 95RON didn't like more boost)

The Gaffer

Hi,

the SC46 billet should be the one for you

Waiting for one to arrive, should be next week then its time for testing

cheers
Kev

Hi Paul,

its a similar turbo to the FP HTA68 using a TD05 housing with an 18G wheel shoehorned in there, its made to our specs by blouch not FP.

first tests on a P1 that has never made good power, probably the wrong test mule, has shown potential.

Spool seems very good, much better than a TD05/6 18G.

Using a standard compressor housing will keep costs down

We are aiming for a turbo that will bolt directly in place, give better power than the VF 34 and cost less, around £799.00 + vat

Exhaust on the P1 swapped out, tests to continue, early results show potential, once it is signed off as good to go we will start work on the billet version, that should be interesting.

cheers

Hi,

just to keep interest up here is a printout of original bhp and torque graph overlaid with the new SC36 bhp and torque graph

We should be able to sort final map on Monday

Iam waiting to pr the 35......hurry up will you...lol

The Gaffer

Hi,
trust me I am on the case

News on the P1 test mule fitted with the new SC 36, now mapped it gave us a nice 336.6bhp and 310ftlb's of torque on V power .

Will post graph up as soon as my fisted computer gets sorted, virus by e mail .

Cheers
Kev

Tidgy

doh, sorry to hear about the virus kev.

what else has beef done to his car by the way? also whats the spool like?

The Gaffer

Hi,

at the risk of joining the "bump" club , in answer to your question on spool, its actually better as you can see from the last graph I posted, nothing has changed only a new panel filter and a map tweak and remember they spool even better on the road, owner states around 3000 / 3300 rpm

Lets also point out that this test has been carried out on a P1 that has never made good power, it has no other mods only exhaust, air filter and fuel pump, all done on "V" power

Shall we try a 10% meth mix

Cheers
Kev
