What is that thing supposed to support for horsepower?

550hp

On DSM's the rule of thumb is 10lb/min = 100hp, so 55lb/min Comp. Flow = 550hp

Not enough! Must go bigger :bounce: I want a turbo that will inhale watermellons. Spool? If it comes in by 7K life is great!

:P :bounce: :banana: :bounce: :P:

If my VPE GT3056 comes up being too small, I'll be getting the FP3065 :wacko:

What do you estimate that you are running horsepower wise with that turbo Mike?

[JET]

My personal favorites are the 14b, small 16g, td06 20g and the 50 trim. I have had all of them except for the 20g, but Andy can vouch for them. I really love the 50 trim though. My next turbo will be the GT56, but I think I am sticking with the 50 trim for a while.

Haven't been able to get out to the track since I installed DSMLink v2, MAFTranslator & 3.5 LS1 mas, Dejon Tools 3.5/3.0 intake pipe, 272/272 cams & Fidanza gears and removed my balance shafts. I don't have access to a AWD dyno, but I've run some of the calculations using tuning tools found on performance websites. I get a range of 380-425whp and 460-505bhp depending on which sites formula you use. I would say it is probably safe to say the middle figures of 402.5whp and 482.5bhp are close. I got those figures based on a car & driver weight of 3580lbs and a trap speed of 115.4mph. Ya'll can work those numbers and see what you come up with if you like. I would hope with the new parts installed it does better though.

Can't wait to see what it does on the new engine also. :wacko:

[1Fst14B]

keep the 14B as long as possible, skip the 16g crap...waste of time
i really like kevin's PTE 50 trim, spools quick, and good for 10's
a 2.4 and a 60-1 would be very fun on the street...

adam
12.10@113
14B power

[AJ]

TDO6 20G Is looking to be good for 10s. :-) I will go with my 16G for rally cause I don't need a whole lot more power, but will need quick spool to get me out of corners to be matched up with more top end power than a 14b ot t25 can provide.
