Hi guys after the car is back from the respray we would like to get her back on dyno just to make sure the power is still all good

Just wondering whats the max bhp people have got out of there sc38

we maxed out on injectors at 379bhp and have done a couple of bits since then like 08-14 mishimoto tmic etc we are going to get some 1000cc before we go up

Current engine spec is

Perrin oil air separator
Mishimoto 08-14 tmic
Torques_uk fuel rail and lines parallel fuel lines
Spec c oil cooler kit
Fuji Racing cylinder 4 cooling mod
Sc38 turbo
Rcm headers plus up pipe
Rcm fpr
Perrin induction kit
walbro full pump
GFB bov
Perrin inlet pipe
3 boost port boost
Perrin 4 map sensor
Alcatek ecu locked to scr
3inch decat exhaust

Try and get the respray done after the mechanical work. That would be my advice.

Not sure about the turbo but I would have thought it would be the sc42.

Yeah it will be know our lucky would get damaged if we done it the other way and we got the sc38 for a quicker spool like I know there rated to 380plus just wounding if anyone has got more out of the boy in the group is running 390 on his

NOSSY_89

I think I misread it. I thought you were getting the sc38 just realised you already have it. People go down the meth route to get more but personally I'm not a fan.

Have you spoken to Craig Belworth or one of the other turbo tuners to see if there are any new wheels they can add or modifications they can do to it. I know it doesn't answer your question but something to look at.

I think from memory sc38 would range between 350 too 400bhp. I wouldn't be pushing much more then what you already have on stock internals as it will only be a matter of time till you need a rebuild given the cars age and use

Hawkins 1995

We spoke to Craig like he can hybrid it but will have to wait for the time being with how much money we spent

Hawkins 1995

True I was just curious to what's everyone got out of them like I wouldn't mind the 400 mark in the long run that's the one thing we will be saving after the car is back from underneath work and respray

NOSSY_89

Understand that mate

Just wondering though what did he quote you.

Hawkins 1995

I sure it was around 600 which isn't to bad was talking to him at the start of June as long as work gose ok till Christmas I'll probably do it just to get over 400 mark haha

Atm we just gone back down to 4 days a week which is a pain

NOSSY_89

​​​​​​its a 2.0 forged by scoobyclinic, rcm cone filter, fmic, syvecs running mafless, 3" exhaust and down pipe, theres other bits and bobs but nothing crazy mod wise

its one of the original sc36 turbos as well, made 373bhp pretty much 10 years ago and then 380bhp around 2 years back, both on scooby clinics dyno

Hawkins 1995

Nice man good power with that turbo like we want to upgrade the injectors by the end of the year to see what we would get are maxed out on the pinks

I’m sure I had 400 out of a SC38 around 7 years ago. Standard engine too

MarkRF

Excuse me, just realised the title is sc38.. my post was based on the SC36+

did they not do away with the sc38 in favour of a bigger model? Or was that the sc36 😂

Hawkins 1995

Haha no worries they do a Sc42 but I'm at 11k this year so don't want to spend 2k more atm I'm curious what I could get out of this 38 as maxed out on injectors on the last map only looking for around 400

Hawkins 1995

Nice man what mods was you running
