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!

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** · 10-17-2003

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 · 10-18-2003

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 · 10-18-2003

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.

Jakey · 10-18-2003

Correct me if I'm wrong please but a small 16G and 16G are just different wheels in the TD05 housing, and the S16G, big 16G and 18G are just smaller wheels in the TD06 housing?

Big 16G is still in the TD05 housing, I don't know about the 18G.

FP-Green, comes on strong and lots of power 480. With no n20 and a trap of 128.

FP-3565, yea well 608 to the wheels no N2o and a trap of 123.

So any FP turbo

. Had lots of fun with the T-28/28 too/.

just curious, what were the times associated with the traps. AWDer's dont just go for traps :dsmrule:

AJ · 10-18-2003

Both those cars:

99 GSX running the green was up at the dyno fest we had and a 95/96 White GSX running the non standard 3565 are both 11 sec cars that have not to my knowledge been driven near their ability yet. Someone let us knwo if they are running at CF today or at CF next weekend!

Jacek · 10-20-2003

turbo-FAN!
