You taking the p*ss Immy as there's a big tmic / fmic argument going on in Shauns project thread

TX.

 

No... as I refuse to follow the crowd.

But I expect I will need one at some point in the future, but need to see how things go first with what I have.

I will be logging and testing on the road though.... not on a dyno, since I don't drive the car on a dyno much.

 

ROFLOL @ TX

For once I'm not doing the arguing as I don't want egg on my face until I have done the initial testing.

Anyway... as you were with the SC Turbo discussion.

 

Just read it now

just read your thread it's got me thinking front mount now ,but i don't want to spoil the car.

T3 is the size you want mate.

 

I'm looking new turbo to my car the one I have is broken.
Have an STI 2003 2.0L with full forged bottom that I run on E85.
Currently has an old Blouch Dom III not the XT-R model.
Drove a little 1/4 mile this weekend and then the turbo gave up so now it sounds really bad and I need a new.

I've looked at SC46 if it can be a good choice for me.

Post my previous dyno results here.
It is @ 1.8 bar and the power is at the wheels. 367,9hp and 424,2nm



Do you think a SC46 will perform better on my engine?
And maybe give me some more power?

Thank you.

Hi,

I think an SC42 Billet or the SC46 billet would do the job nicely.

cheers
Kev

 

You'll do more power at 1.55 bar mate
Never mind 1.8 lol
Forged bottom end
Lucky bugger lol

 

Ok, So you think that i do more power at lower boost??

 

Yep
I've got similar sti 04 not forged 400 @1.55

 

I'd like to see what it would do at your 1.8 ;-)

 

Hi,

I strongly recommend the Perrin FMIC for your car, they enhance the looks as they are have black cores, black pipework with black silicon joiners, in stock at £1150.00 + vat.

cheers
Kev

 

Ok now i get it!

You got the SC46?

I like to try to push it as far as i can but with reliability.
we tried with 2 bar but the intake temp went up so we stopped at 1.8
Maybe we can push the SC46 to 2 bar!

 

Don't forget that Tom's results are in WHEEL horse power, not at the fly..

 

I got approximately 426 hp @ crank
calculated with 16% drivetrain loss.

 

Yeah you'll pee it I got
410 hp mate on standard engine :-) @ lower boost
What else is on your car mate ie headers etc etc

 

His results were also on E85 so a billet should be awesome on his car

 

This is my spec:


-CP Pistons +0,5mm
-Eagle rods
-ACL race bearings
-ARP bolts
-FMIC
-ACT HD SS clutch
-Tomei Equal length manifold
-APS 3,5" Full race exhaust
-Blouch Dom III
-Walbro gss342 intankp
-Bosch 044 external
-Surgetank
-1000cc injectors
-Sytec FPR
-Arashi fuel rails
-Autronic SM4 Pnp Ecu
-Perrin EBCS
-AEM Dryflow Airfilter
-Harvey Smith bov flange
-Forge bov
-Gates belts
-2,5 STI oilpan
-Custom oil Catchtank
-NGK Iridium BKR8EIX
-Cometic headgaskets

This is from my build thread on the swedish subaru forum.

 

I think with a better turbo i might have better results.
I like to see 500 @ crank

 

Well you've spent plenty their mate
Prob better waiting
On kevs advice mate

 

They bigger you go the laggier it gets what about twisted set up

 

Well it would be something.
But that does not fit on my exhaust and it gets very expensive.

Had pretty much lag on my Blouch turbo but I thought it was ok.
Think that SC46 will spool faster.

 

What horse power you got through rev range ie 3000 rmp = 300 hp 4000 5000 6000?

 

Have to agree with Kev, have just mounted my Perrin FMIC from Kev. Fits like a glove and looks great.

 

Hi,

with that little lot I would go straight for the 46 Billet.

In stock ready to ship.

cheers
Kev

 

But you have all ready Blouch Dom 3,which is rated to 500bhp@flywheel.
You have billet or non billet version?

SC46 is Blouch Dominator 2.5XT-R,i'm running 3.0XT-R(which is SC50 here) on 2.1...


Jura

 

Yes i have it but it is broken now so i need a new turbo.
I have the non billet version.

The XT-R version spools better then the non billet right.

so maybe I can get boost a few hundred rpm earlier with the SC50 billet instead of my old non billet Dom III?

 

And the SC50 and SC46 have smaller exhusthousing compared to the 10cm2 DomIII??

 

I'd go sc46 rather than sc50 on a 2 litre
It will spool quicker and give you high 400s hp than old turbo
And if your adding e85 or meth even more and quicker too
