Hi .
Am currently at the point where I was thinking of going rotated. My car is 2.1 ,sc42,syvecs,running 456bhp power.and would it be any different in power wise going rotated with a gt30 .63 .any body who has done this setup up please let me know what it's like. Thanks

 

Anybody???? Please
Just wanna know if it's better going rotated

 

It does seem to come with a lot of extra costs,and also I've seen a couple of sets of cracked rotated up-pipes on eBay. This leads me to think that unless the up-pipe is designed well, with support and expansion sections, it might crack easily? Ie unless well designed, reliability over an OEM location might be compromised.

There also seems to be a lot of standard position turbos now that make really good power, so from that POV it might not be clear cut if it's worth it either.

The two things that I personally like about rotated setups is that the turbo is easier to get access to, if you're inclined to change setups often, and you can run an external wastegate.

I don't think it's clear cut anymore that if you want 550-600, you must go rotated.

 

I'd be tempted to look at the Precision bolt on unit, we had some astonishing results on these lately.
Direct bolt on and good for 450-500hp on pump fuel, 530-550 on a dash of meth and we even mapped one lately with a 60hp shot of nitrous which did getting on 600hp and 525lbft from a 2.1 litre engine.

 

Thanks for ur reply
I do see alot of rotated stuff damaged your probably rite .too weak or just getting hammered.but
,I quite like the sound of that, which precision turbo was it?
I was already going to add the meth anyway.its a hell of alot cheaper that way.rotated is expensive going all brandnew.
Is that turbo ok for lag??

 

Precision only sell one bolt on turbo, I believe it's called the 5530. Yes it spools very well considering it's size and we've fitted loads of them.
They can be purchased from us at Enginetuner.

 

have you got a graph with one of these fitted to a built 2.5?

 

I don't to hand unfortunately, if you drop me an email to Martyn@enginetuner.co.uk I'll see what I can dig up.
