you may need to cut off my hand and declare our biological ties before i do any such thing

I think we do... There was a 52T 3076 posted with like 370kw, thats 70kw above standard. Simon is a bad example as he believes he is running out of compressor flow more than he is tune scope. Jez doing 286 on 15psi is also mental... Mick gained 20kw on 5psi less.. who else is there... Its not impossible man especially if your going from pump 98 to something like sucrogen. The ping resistance is nonsense, its like they have discovered how to combust water... Only better and in reality its sugar lol And Jez before you say it, im not f*cking filling up with E85 for my next tune

yeah the ethanol alone wouldnt be what added the power, its the added tune scope Nuts. miss my evo lol

that would be on 98 ron too, 20g/E85 evos are a 300kw affair interesting

Had you taken that more seriously you may have scored yourself a motec

Must have been my exhaust that rowelled everyone up lol FKN NOISY ASS CAR *slashes wrong dudes tyres*

No worries, DVS JEZ on this forum tuned it - he has the dyno data for it also

Well arent you the pot calling the kettle black lol, Mr Corvette LS7 ra ra ra Its all relevant anyway, were talking about the rush you get from certain turbos and if thats torque or just the 'feeling' it gives you. I did my best to eleborate on my theories by describing how I utilised this 'rush' torque feeling to better drive a car. Be it FWD or not. Trying to describe that the feeling is relevant to actual torque and speed. About as relevant as comparing it to a V8 which Id say is entirely relevant in open discussion. Sorry if I didnt make my point clear enough, I hope I have now. Its hard to put everything down when at work.

I used to have this debate all the time with my old man. Theres an obvious point where usable torque comes into play, that being the happy area in your powerband. V8s feel linear because they make all their torque too early, its the energy of a big motor that makes them fast. But imagine you could harness all the wheel spinning torque they make at 200rpm and translate that to full traction acceleration... now that would be crazy. The problem is there are sheer limitations of that sort of thing, like tyres and road conditions.. But thats where our little turbo toys come into play. We start with a boring little donk and add a turbo onto it. The right turbo and cam choice can shift the torque around to suit what gear ratios were limited by, and create a fast car. I once built a front wheel drive turbo, most epic car I have ever owned. The theory of the turning wheels pulling you around a corner was a total win (driving wheels in a RWD point straight, so how can you expect it to propell you around a corner?). I set about finding the perfect balance between power and delivery to make the car really quick through the hills. I was finding as an NA it would understeer because it had not enough power or not enough energy in certain gears, but then the right cam/turbo choice ended up with only 120kw but a car that could punch through corners 2 gears above what it was prior (with the obvious speed increase to match). End of the day its not all about how much torque or power or even where... But how its delivered. Said it before and will say it again, delivery is KING. NSW is no different... been there, done that.

Yeah my experience with the .86 I mentioned is on my SR. To be honest I consider a 2L 4pot to be more brutal in nature to a 6cyl of whatever size. Whether it be some sort of lag and zap effect or that they actually product better torque for power is a difference of opinion really. I am happy for you to come and get an impression of my car once I change the exhaust housing. You will see there is no lag and zap effect but only a really strong pull effect through the midrange. As a point of reference the TD05-18g SR I did recently made over 530nm on only 207kw, thats 300kw skyline material and it had peak torque at 4200rpm. I believe brutal delivery at a low RPM showcases actual torque, not that linear wind up toy feeling everyone normally misconceives as torque (pretty much what my setup has now, with 440nm at 5000rpm).

Not sure I agree, im running a Disco right now with a .86 turbine housing. Boost comes on fairly early and progressive, its really smooth and liniear with lots of top end power. Alternatively I have driven .64 variants which come on earlier and stronger, the push you in the seat feeling is twice as epic and they are MORE responsive (not dirty laggy wheel spin things). But we are talking about 200kw turbos rather than 300kw... Maybe thats the difference I guess.

I'm jelly I want to be there

ALL YOUR FAB WORKZ ARE BELONG TO US

The G3 is a larger frame turbo, bigger wheels and bigger housings... So it is naturally laggier or lazier to drive. Stao is implementing new technology to the G3 to improve its response, this is a good idea as the G3 is the most proven of all his products and has the least constraints in terms of outright flow or housing restrictions.

I have a 3076R with .63 vband rear PM me if you want to swap for your 35R

Hi all, Need a genuine garrett housing for a GT28 such as GT28R, GT2860RS (disco potato), GT2871R etc Must be .64 rear end - just the housing Mine is a .86 rear end and doesnt suit my application Thanks,

try borrow an ecu off a friend or something and see if that will start it, or get a 2nd hand ecu for a spare ecu might be toast

sorry saruman, I don't mean to be harsh or anything.. Don't take it the wrong way. Its more or leas that the kando isn't the simplest option and with a +T in mind you don't want to put too much effort into a setup that may not work out. More or less im confident U will net 280 from a 20g 10cm on e85 but I think you will also do similar using a hypergear G2. The g3 inmentioned prior will net U hopefully 300. You can consider the g2 to be similar to a 3071. I am thinking with exhaust headroom in mind... The g2 has a fairly big exhaust wheel with a 71mm compressor. Like I said sort of like a 3071.. I guess the point here is don't be too committed to using an item that has all custom parts when you are venturing into the unknown. Especially if only aiming for 250... U should get a decent 250 from the g2 on 98ron. And again, mostly bolts on including stock dump. Benefits are there, resale is probably a safer bet also.

if you must use a kando to make 250kw on E85............ something is wrong anyway, you seem committed so good on you. Get the TD06SL2-20g 10cm, it will meet and exceed 250 on E85 with your +T

lol nice pin, sexy as always

Well I was wrong too, as Adriano confirmed the VL manifold points down, but what did you mean by being rotated? Have a hard think about it for a second.......... You cant rotate flanges on a cast iron housing mate... lol The VL rear housing is complete with dump.. The wastegate flapper is part of the dump so its also hard to change that. My bad tho Adriano, I thought I remember a VLT manifold looking like a RBDET one, but it has been a few years since I toyed with one of those!

make sure the pipe that the blow off normally vents too is also blocked understand?

that pipe should go to the blow off, somebody removed the blow off and blocked the pipe (as you can see with the 2 bolts holding a cover on it) get a piece of HOSE and put a bolt in one end (so it seals it tight) and put the hose on that pipe. it will fix it for you.

reasonable offers welcome, these are just sitting around

understand man, Dragan told me. Like I said just let me know when, its ready when you are.
