Dont wish to start the next world war off please, but ..

... some of you will know i have bought the new US 2.5STI short block for my car. This will go with the rest of my UK ancillaries and accessories that are on the car at the moment.

It wont be happening while christmas, but the big question is, Which Turbo?

I am intending to run my 304 for a while, just to see what happens, but know doubt will change soon after.

Thoughts and good reasons why please guys. Would anyone be able to work out airflow etc, and put it in plain english

Cheers

Steven

 

12.16!! Bloomin heck mate, thats nice.

 

Steven

If you want calculations, you better speak to Pat

 

Email me and I'll email you a spreadsheet I made where you can put in cc, RPM, VE and boost to work out what CFM you need at what PR. Makes reading compressor maps easy. Also consider the hot side of your turbo too.

 

John, i dont have your email address, can you mail me per my profile please.

I thought i had things pre and post turbo covered, what else do you mean?

Scott "Speak to Pat", its hard to make him speak in english. Need simple examples

Steven,

If you ask Trout nicely, I'm sure he'd draw you a diagram

Mark.

 

if changing then then I would look at something like the md321 assuming the exhaust side is up to the job for the 2.5

the other options involve custom exhausts and this was a budget upgrade..

remember more reliabilty, not more power

I'd like to see how long that lasts before the words reliability & power switch

 

The iON Performance turbo that Harvey is using would be an excellent choice for a 2.5 in my opinion. It is now spooling to 1 bar in 4th from below 3500rpm and running on to make just under 500bhp.

With the extra capacity on a 2.5 the spool would be improved to approx 2800rpm

Hmmm....

Chris

Andy, you any info on this turbo?

Steven

 

I know it has a garrett core and some HKS parts. You had best Email Harvey as I know it has changed spec a few times

Andy

PS for reliability you really want a TD04

 

Think that was the start of all my recent problems, the TD04 that is.

Harvey if you read this before i get onto a computer where i have your email address, will you mail me details please.

Cheers

Steven
