After waiting four months for a turbo............I picked up this baby earlier on today.











It's the new twinscroll SC42 billet made by Blouch and supplied by Scoobyclinic.
I was originally going for an LM400 and asked Ian to supply me one back in April when the new billet wheel came out. However through no fault of Ians his suppliers were taking the mick with the compressor covers.....four months

In that time I had become aware of the SC46 billet which had great reviews and the MD321 however Mark at lateral had the same issue with his compressor covers as they were supplied by turbo dynamics.

As they say all busses come in three's!!

Last week all three come about and it was a very hard choice however Kev made me an offer I couldn't refuse

Turbo will be fitted tomorrow if all goes to plan and will be having it mapped by Engine mapper @ teg sport

Immy

 

Give it some context, take a pic of it next to a mug or something

TX.

 

An terrible when it comes to photos give us 5 mons and I'll feta better pic up

 

that looks big lol,

what sort of power u going for with that then

 

just edited the pics so you can get a better idea of the size

It's the SC42 and is capable of 420bhp+

Immy

 

 

picked mine up from kev on saturday(single scroll tho),i was shocked also by the size and weight of it,its a monster and a proper quality looking piece of kit.Not getting mine mapped until th 16th september so will get the graphs up then,juggers get some graphs up for us when ya had it mapped mate,will be interesting to see the performance differences between the single and twin scroll.

YA SHOULD HAVE POSTED THIS ON THE BILLET THREAD MATEY.

 

You sound like a very happy man juggers

 

Hope to get it fitted tomorrow and have some figures in the next couple of days ,but like you said it will be good to compare the results between the two

I sure am

I just need to get it on the car now

 

will be keeping an eye on this one..


so give us ur spec immy in advance..

 

just so we can get some idea of scale,are those the size 12 heels I saw you in last weekend?.................................... .................................................. ...............runs away.

 

Spec c R205 2.0L JDM

Immy

 

I didn't think you noticed them as you seem'd pre occupied with "big sheela"

And there size 4 for reference... thank you very much

Immy

 

Immy,
Be good to hear how you get on.

 

Will update the thread as soon as I get it mapped.

Immy

 

Blouch turbo's are pretty bloody good! We recently fitted on to an Evo X we built a Cosworth stroker engine for, it's pretty damn impressive

 

Are these direct fit from a vf37 or do you have to change anything else like pipe work and brackets, it looks good but it doesn't matter what it looks like as long ad it produces the goods

 

It's 90% direct bolt on you can either fabricate a bracket or turn the throttle body slightly so they don't rub.
I agree with you 100% it's not about how it looks ,but about how it performs.
it is the first twinscroll SC42 of it's kind so it's somewhat of an unknown area, but I guess we will find out in the next few days.

Immy

 

Turbo was supposed to ve fitted last week ,but I have to wait till Websday now

On the plus side nullfork met up with me in his UK hatch STI with a 2.5 fully forged rebuild and an SC46. The engine is on it's running in map only running 1.0bar.

Couldn't believe how quick it felt and how quick it spoiled up.
Can't wait to get mine on!
Immy

 

Nice floor.....LOL

 

Ooh, I do like your shoes Mrs Slocombe!

That's one impressive turbo Immy! £2.5k including fitting and remap, dare I ask?

Andy

 

Solid wood flooring thank you very much cost me $$$$
Will let you know when it's fitted and mapped but it should work out at £2k all in fitted and mapped

You thinking of joining the club Andy? It will make stage one feel slow

Immy

 

That looks very nice Immy,

You`ll have to keep me posted when you have got it all fitted and mapped, Do you know exactly how much work is involved with the braket/throttle body to get it fitted right, Trying to get as much info for when i`m ready to follow suit seeing as you beat me to it, lol.

Gaz.

 

Kev did say you Wanted this unit but first come first serve

There's two options one is to move the throttle body slightly , but this runs the risk of unequal air entering the inlet. I.e more in one side then the other. The other option is to push the intercooler back a little which requires a bracket fabricating. Richard henrys will be fitting the turbo and they have done a few of the SC's and advised me to use a bracket. It's only an extra hours work nothing to big

Immy

 

I suspect you appreciate that the extra .5ltr capacity makes a big difference in spool and torque mate. It will certainly feel different on your 2ltr.

Look forward to hearing how you get on.

 

Yeh I took that into consideration, but it was only running 1.0 bar so i can't imagine how quick it will be when it's running 1.6 It made the R205 feel a little slow.....and the R205 isn't no slouch neither.

It will be good to compare your results on both the LM400 & 450 against the SC

Immy

 

Ha ha, Cheers mate, You beat me too it, Bracket sounds like the easier option in my opinion too, Easy enough to sort out, Richard Henry`s in Bradford?

Do you know what the rough fitting/labour cost is inc the bracket, Excluding mapping as i`m on a EcuTek map(PM me if you want)?

Dont forget to get your graphs up soon as if you can mate, looking forward to seeing the result,

Gaz.

 

Immy,
I thought you had ordered the SC46.... just realised this is the SC42 you ordered, yet you went out in a SC46 equipped 2.5! roflol

Talk about comparing apples with elephants.

In any case have fun mate, as I'm sure you'll be happy once it's fitted and mapped.

 

apples with elephants..no mate i dont think so,the sc46 and sc42 are exctly the same unit apart from the 46 has a 60mm wheel and the 42 has a 56mm wheel,shouldnt be a hell of a lot in them tbh,the 42 will spool quicker but the 46 will give slightly more power at the top.

 

Edited as I really cant be arsed, as you obviously know so much more than me.
