PTE 50 Trim and an engine with 105k on it

[BKs50trimGST]

Anyone have ne idea's on how long you think before my stock engine will last when i put in my new turbo and run around 17 psi? Remember it has about 105k on it. Thinkning of rebuilding the thing before it breaks down, sometime by the end of the summer.

Treat the engine right with good fluids and proper tuning and it'll give you many more miles of service.

why use a 50 trim if your only running 17 psi? it will be fine though for awhile..

[Steeltwo]

that well within the engines abilities.

i don't see much more than 300whp out of a 50 trim and 17psi.

the engine will probly laugh at you :)

Because 17psi on a 50-trim makes more power than 17psi on a 14B or 16G. I have one customer making 342whp on a PTE 50-trim at 17-18psi. You would be lucky to make 300whp at 18psi on a 16G.

Yeah, that combo should be fine if you keep the oil changed. You won't be working it hard at all.

Dam!!! That sure gives me some hope for my PTE 50trim, once i get the dam thing going in a couple weeks here. What would that same customer be running for hp at say 22-25psi?

how the hell is he running 342 whp at 17psi? that's amazing, what other mods did the dude have? makes me feel alot better about buying my new 50 trim!

So know i have 2 50 trims, does anyone have ne idea how long they last for, especially if your running only 17-18 psi on it? cuz i have 2 now, one completely blown and needs rebuilding> and i was wondering should i rebuild it and hold onto it or should i just sell it to get back some of the money i was scammed out of? also, how much u think a rebuilt 50 trim would sell for> the one that needs rebuilding is hoaged out and is made for an internal wastegate - o2 housing but not with dumptube. .60ar compression and stage 3 wheel> ne ideas how much its worth?

The reason he is making that much power on a 50 trim at that boost level is because a 50 trim is really efficient (on pump gas especially). And if you do a compressor map for the 50 trim with the 2.0L 4g63 it is almost a perfect fit.

In my opinion if you are building a 'daily' driven DSM 2.0L turbo that you want to have good power on pump gas but not be all that laggy then the 50 trim is the way to go in my book. Now if you have a 2.4 like a lot of people do now a 50 trim would be like having a 16G on 2.0L. It would have amazing spool up but I am not sure how it would flow on the top end. I haven't seen or anybody running anything that small on a 2.4 yet though. Maybe Jim (TalionFiero) is though unless he got something bigger.
