Kev,
I am led to believe that billet wheels from the US are actually bigger and have a different blade configuration.... is this true? I understand you can't get more BHP by simply using the same size wheel but in billet, unless you run more boost, which the billet one would allow.

Hi Shaun,
The new Billet wheels are no bigger than the wheels they replace, some are actually smaller !
They are 33% lighter which helps spool up and response.
The new aerodynamic blade design helps them flow more air which makes more power at the same boost levels as their non billet brothers, so win win situation
Cheers

the one tested is the non billet version, we wont receive the billet 36 untill late Jan.
We will have to wait and see what it performs like but if the other billet results are anything to go by it should be good
cheers

Hi,
we are going to test the turbo on a back to back basis using a car owned by a customer of ours, to be fair not sure of the exact engine spec but I am sure he will post it up soon
The plan is to run the car on our dyno with its standard GT35R, adjust the map if it needs adjusting and get an accurate figure to work from, we will then remove the turbo, replace it with the billet version and go again.
Our customer has invited Paul from Zen to map the car on our dyno, this will give us independent results, hopefully good ones
Thanks for your interest.
cheers

Steve, agreed you were not far behind mate but I backed out of it early I will give you the bigger ***** award if you take it over 170 ! Sy did 178 taking it to the absolute limit of the runway.

Hi Steve,
if you look back through this thread you will see the printouts showing the difference on the pink car, reg M79 YWE
It is amazing what the billet wheel does

Adam/Kev, reading through this thread has given me renewed 'hope' for my turbo options. I have a Zen built 2.0 with STi 3/4 pistons and STi v.9 rods, ACL bearings, etc.... BUT... still has the v.1 WRX hydro heads 
.
My motor should be good for this side of 400bhp and the main players WERE a 20g or 18g. But I'm not too sold on their inconsistant top end performance/figures.
Would the SC42, or even the SC46, outperform either in spool and top end? Would the billet SC46 spool the same or better than the non-billet SC42 - indeed is there going to be a SC42 billet anytime soon, too?! Also, how would the FP HTA68 fair against any of the SC42/46 turbos?
Basically, my brief - if possible, on my soft cams - is to try to attain 400 (or as close as) but with as early spool times as poss (don't we all?)... and it looks like a SC46 billet or SC42 could do it!...
Any help/advice is appreciated

Hi,
I was going to mention that
The spool on the billet 46 will hopefully be better than the SC42 with a much higher top end than the standard SC46, if this is the case we will cease to do the SC42
The SC46 runs a 46 llb wheel, hence its name, the billet one will run a 49 llb wheel but the wheel will be 33% lighter therefore spool should be improved along with top end performance, win win we hope.
Hope that kind of answers your questions
cheers
