CP, I know I have told you what I am putting together... why not just ask someone who is already involved in putting this together RIGHT NOW?
I have parts lists, most of the parts on order or on hand, and an engine being re-assembled as this is being typed.... stand alone is already on hand, exhaust is going to be.... "interesting"... crossover and headders are arriving at the shop for modification / upgrade TODAY... noob... FWIW, if you can wait until I get mine back together, you can take it for a test flight and see if you like it... |

Vic, those pics are actually Dave's when he was test fitting the turbo up with his modded V band crossover for my RHD car. As you can see that's one benefit of RHD, no S-Bend needed.
What turbo are you using John? Or is that a secret for now? Last edited by 333pg333; 08-18-2010 at 05:29 PM. |

Full boost? Don't have logs but I'd say in the 3500-3800 range. 1 bar in the low 3's.
Thing is you can hear it spooling well before full boost / torque. It's working away nicely all the time. You can clearly hear it in this link...even above the exhaust and sirens....lol... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3kG4WDTN_c Last edited by 333pg333; 08-18-2010 at 05:42 PM. |

Looking like this may be the winner...Every review I read had it eating a 3076 for lunch.
Or maybe I should say, it is producing the same results at 600rpm lower, with more range up high. knptb-5857.jpg

Just as a matter of interest. George D had a larger version on the first incarnation of his 3L motor. Suffice to say, he's now installed a different turbo. Didn't work out like it was advertised so perhaps check with him just for the sake of it. Admittedly, his was pretty big from memory. May have been too big even for a 3L...but it would be interesting to get the feed back of that turbo vs say a GT35 just for comparisons. If all the reviews come back with that one over the GT35 it just might make you consider all options. |

Not exactly the same as a 2.5L 8v, but a 2.2L 16v I5. Gives a good representation of all the turbos and spool characteristics. Should translate pretty well to a 944.
