moses

car made 610 bhp at 1.7 bar and also the same at 2 bar with 500 ft torque
u see the problem

well their is a massive restriction the housing on the gt3240 is too small coz of my 2.4 stroker measured down to 2.3 and simons was a 2.2 when he had this turbo so it was smaller and ok for this turbo and it made over 750 bhp with the same turbo

my problem is my engine is a lil bigger and it caused alot of back pressure and the turbo is struggling coz the housing is too small otherwise it would have been well over 650 bhp or maybe even 700



so good news their was more power to come but i cant get a housing for a hks version of the gt coz hks or garrett dont make it , so i will need to fit a bigger garrett now


anyone looking for a gt3240 for 1500 delivered pls

i need to buy a gt35 with a massive housing

STI-NUTTER

mashallah bro

well done are you still bringing it out or are you gona wait till you get the bigger turbo on it

K

ANDYUK300

will we ever see this in a car and used in anger????

moses

jazakAllah khairun bros , i was sad coz this turbo would have taken it to 700 easily but hks dont make a housing for it and the garret cant be fitted coz they hks have modified it so im a lil pi55ed my 2.3 stroker caused the prob if it was a 2.2 no sweat

im gonna get the bigger turbo fitted bros take it to 800 inshallah

and lol andy one day mate one day

T-uk

what did you do about the gearbox and diffs in the end?

I am assuming you have taken care of them if you are considering blowing the cash on an even larger turbo.

moses

lol not yet john im skint i have no choice i wanted to keep the turbo but u cant get a bigger housing for it to suit a 2.3 so 610 bhp is the max i can get out if it but i could have had 700 if the housing could have coped with it


no diffs yet and dogbox but my current gearbox is shotpeened with a ikeya shifter too

T-uk

yer a fooking loon moses!!!!!

get the car back and stop chasing figures until the drivetrain is sorted , just drive the thing at lowish boost to give the box a chance. you will still crap your breaks with the power. build up slowly rather than getting a monster back that you are scared to drive or that onlty lasts 50miles before the box dies.

moses

mate u know i aint a figures guy im a torque guy im happy with even 450 bhp as long as my torque is good

my dream is to have a 700 ft torque car


but it has to be an evo


nothing else


im gonna sort the rest out later, i dont drive like a loon anyway until someome pi55es me off thats a different story

and will be nice to get close to 700 ft torque or 650 even i hope

kevin sharp

good power but FFS get it back in the car like T-UK (forgot yer real name ) has said. but why werent you advised the turbo wouldnt flow any more than 600bhp? simple mathematics to a tuner i would have thought or did you specify the turbo?..in which case i can understand there being a f*ck up!

moses

lol kev mate, it was my fault, see no one in the uk ever fitted a 2.3 stroker with a gt3240 i was the first

simon told me to go for a 2.2 but it was expensive and couldnt afford it at the time

and when it was tested last night when mark shead and simon were mapping it, it was restricted, their was alot of power wanted to get out but the housing wouldnt let it


but im going for big torque mate God willing

brb dinner time

kevin sharp

oh right ok so youd be aswell getting it back in the car now then yes?

why do you want any more power for the road anyway? i feel my escort is antisocial for road use (hence why i rarely use it on road) as its very hard to keep to acceptable speed/ accelleration levels without alarming other road users

moses

i know mate but my life long dream was having 700 ft torque

kevin sharp

oh i forgot to ask...i take it that power was on ordinary pump fuel?

kevin sharp

so are you putting it back in the car now?

moses

hi mate that was with race fuel with pump fuel it was 540 bhp at 1.7 bar

no im not gonna fit the engine in till i sell my gt3240 and fit the gt3540 or the gt42

so im trying to sell it quick so i can get the engine fitted back in

T-uk

moses,

if you like torque, stick with the smaller turbo for and see if you like it to drive

what rev limit do you have and where does the power peak. you do not want it peaking too close to the limiter otherwise it might make the figures but not be that balanced to drive hard.

AlanG

Wise words from T-uk re: peaking close to rev limiter.

Moses.
Are you going to run race fuel then from now on in?
I know you say your not chasing figures, but i'm not so sure.

If the turbo is more than capable and not restricted when you use pump fuel, why lose cash on the one you have just now and go for an even bigger one?

Going bigger will be going laggier and will be great in the pub and on track but not so much for road.

Even my own car has less power and torque now but it feels like there is a wider power band, so feels sharper on the road.

Go figure

Alan

moses

alan ive never been a figures man, figures are for ******, torque wins races , im happy as i said with even 450 bhp, i wanted to build a 9 second quarter mile car, mines would have done that with a dogbox even at 610 bhp but i cant launch for **** i need to compensate for that and only way is 700 ft torque



i can use race fuel and pump fuel i have 2 maps on the car all i do is switch it over and t-uk is right i agree

but as sam would tell u i was always after torque nothing more and my revs were 8200 but now down to 7600 revs coz of the 0.1 extra stroker with a 2.2 it would still have been 8200 revs



mines not a track car its a drag car same as kevs cossie, thats why its all stripped inside, no carpets, doorcards, plastics nothing at all just a rollcage and a dash.



plus i stopped using my car everyday on the road after my mate crashed it , it put me off i only took it out yesterday and the fuel bill was 150 average a week so no chance using it everyday

brb lunch time

kevin sharp

mines not a drag car moses..its a quick road car that gets used on track and strip...if it was a drag car i,d have soft rear suspension and drag tyres..i dont its always been on toyo proxes and uses the same setup at crail and knockhill ...i dont think many drag cars would go round knockhill in 58 seconds

T-uk

and does 10's on the 1/4

that is some all rounder!

moses,

so if you have a 7600 limiter , where was the flywheel peaking?

moses

so is mines kev its a road car too its smoother than alot of cars


the way it is just now at610 bhp 1.7 bar its smooth as ****, so is sams ex 500 ft torque evo u aint been in it , i heard alot about it


and kev mines in sams hands would do it under 58 secs at kh in andys hands would do it quicker



john mine is an all rounder but i was trying to put it forward to alan mines a drag car coz i want it to be but i can still do my cash and carry in it

moses

sorry john just noticed the flywheel thing, mate i aint that techie i will need to ask simon

i just want torque **** the technical side

moses

and kevin i aint got drag tyres and rear soft suspension either , john aka t-uk knows about that


im gonna try to practice good and then i will take on the master kev but i need your help to beat u

R19KET

Moses,

That's a fantastic result. Just thought you might like to see just how BIG a GT42/45 is................



Mark.

moses

feckin hell thats too big mate

i thought the gt42 alone without the 35 was smaller

no way i want that, it wont kick in

is their a smaller gt42 mate

and thanks

R19KET

Moses,

Never mind where it kicks in, where the hell do you think it will fit It certainly won't fit between the engine, and the rad', not without without major surgery !

What's the problem with using the same, or similar spec' as Norris ?

Mark.

STI-NUTTER

mo

too righ about the cash and carry, we gona use the mr2 for that aswell. plus thats what my bro used to do with his scoob. cash and carry is the best place for doin doghnuts and power slides

K

kevin sharp

how do you know what it drives like with 610 bhp...the engines not been fitted yet

moses wont want the same spec as simon cos the car would be ready quicker so he wouldnt have as much time to spend on the net

teknopete

Mo,

IMHO m8 u need 2 get the engine in the thing and then judge if u need more. I think you`ll find with they numbers u have that it`ll be nuff of a handfull to drive as it is

Pete

AlanG

Cheers Moses
Handy thing then having the two maps. Sounds like fun.

So you got the car back Mo?

With the interior stripped you'll get a lot of shopping in it....

Mark
That is one huge turbo.
