So it's the EF2 wheels, just different housings?

No. EF2 turbine wheel, but with a different compressor wheel that allows for the larger 3" inlet. The EF2 compressor wheel isn't big enough to warrant anything but the stock turbo inlet

[Halon]

So what size is the comp wheel?

[Kracka]

It's the EF3's compressor wheel.

Yea, probably ~56mm compressor about the size of an FP Red.

My BBX had a stock compressor cover on it and was even bigger than this compressor setup so going back to a non-antisurge should work just fine. You have mivec to take away any surge that might 'just happen' from the conversion. Should add another 1-2% everywhere powerwise so you might just hit 430

Honestly I'm a tish skeptical if it will really help down low though but I really don't think it will hurt to try.

Tell Kevin or Calvin to get that shit up on the database!

[Kracka]

I'm hoping Kevin gets it up tomorrow.

I just got back from a pretty good drive and the car really does rip and pulls hard all the way to rev-limiter! It drives really smooth throughout the RPM range, I'm giving thanks to the anti-surge for that. I would like to get a touch of response and spool back though, so I'm thinking it would be ideal to give up a bit of that smoothness in the name of response and swap over to the standard cover. I'm questioning whether this turbo actually needs the anti-surge ports.

That kind of power on stock cams and pump is very amazing. Very nice!

[Kracka]

[Tachyon]

Looks like it needs more boost thrown at it to better illustrate the difference.

[93gtpeater]

Look like the ef2 is better. The spool up doesnt look all that great on the 2.5

[Kracka]

I'm discussing with MAP and we have a few ideas on changes to try. This is why it's called prototype testing I suppose

[Murlo26]

Yea I agree, for the "ultimate street turbo" you are after Kracka I don't see the advantage with the 2.5. Hell, my EF4 is only about 200rpms behind your turbo up to 27psi and I am not even on full mivec (obviously totally different setups, but still).

EF2 ftw on your car. /pray new cover helps.

I agree fully. My previous EF2 is the better "ultimate street turbo" all things considered, but we'll see how the standard cover performs. If I can gain back half the spool lost then I think we'll have a viable contender. MAP has asked me to get it done so I'll be calling Cobb to get something on the calendar.

[Super Bleeder!!]

Hughes you should run that thing down the 1/4 mile someday. I don't really care about the ET but i'm curious as to what sort of trap speeds it would pull.

[Kracka]

Some day I will do that for you. Maybe once the stock clutch goes and it's replaced with something a bit beefier.

[Kracka]

Cobb's power board, before & after:

15th ---> 13th

[Murlo26]

Those cars area all really close. I guess for good reason, stock block cars I am guessing.

[Kracka]

You can scan the QR codes, or just go to their online dyno database for all the info/details on each setup (since you probably can't scan the tiny on-screen codes).

[Shane@DBPerformance]

What kind of gains do you think some cams would net you?
