Drop a stroker in the car before you change turbos. It will spool way faster. make better pump numbers due to the increase in cc's. far more usable streeable horsepower. then think about adding water injection so you can run higher boost levels where bigger turbos shine.

 

I just don't understand some peoples goals. Before I sold my car it was making 366whp on PUMP GAS and stock turbo. I was smokin lightly modded Z06's, E55's, 450whp supras, etc... Hell I didn't come across a car that beat it (I know there are plenty out there but I never came across any and thats my point). My point is you'd have all that power and for what? You could have reached your current WHP on the stock turbo and pump gas and had it spoolin at 3k. I'm not sure why you got the BR500 but I'd sell it,go back to the stock turbo, get an EMS have it tuned and RIP **** in autocross. Seems to me like MOST (NOT ALL) people on this board with upgraded turbos aren't that satisfied with them and thats one of the reason why I never upgraded. The second reason is as a daily driver 366whp was more than enough to smoke 97% of the cars on the road and still get decent gas milage. Just remember the more power the more problems.

BTW my friend ran an 11.9 at 361whp on C16. My car was making 366 on pump so it should have run 11.9 also (same driver same conditions). Why the hell does anyone need anything faster than an 11 second daily driven sedan??

 

werd.

 

If you want slightly more power over the stock turbo and quicker spool, I would suggest getting the TME titanium turbo from Forced Performance.

 

Nice numbers, are you doing this with the standard exhaust manifold or the equal length manifold?

 

I have bought parts from them and they have good quality work and any question about turbos you have they can help you out with.

 

if you really wanted to upgrade the turbo go with one from a TME

 

Great advice. Too bad people dont listen to where others have been. I have been tuning dsms for 5 years now. Cant count how many people became unhappy with their cars after installing 50trim or larger. If I had an EVO8 I would milk the factory turbo into the 11's and be happy with that. Or install a stroker that can spool a 50trim like a 16g.

 

well said

 

It sounds like you need a bigger motor combo. If you are looking for a really nice set up here is what I would suggest.


2.4 liter motor
GT35R W/equal length manifold


We currently have the biggest GT35R on our car with a built 2.4 and spools so fast it is amazing. We recently made 615ft lbs of torque. The car absolutely flys and has tons of bottom end grunt.

 

i dont think so

the power levels in my sig were on quantum's dyno before cams on pump gas

i still have stock IC, IC piping, manifolds, and head. Other than that i have pretty much everything a stage 4 car has with 785cc injectors and emanage

 

Here is where i am at right now options:

RNR 2.4 built block 4500 no core charge

Buschur Stage 3 head 1600 + 1200 core

Magnus intake manifold 700

I would like to keep my stock motor so i will pay the core charges

What do you think?

Not much info on turbos yet.

 

Yep, I'm one of those people. I had a FP green (50-trim) turbo on my 2g and my 1g. I grew to hate driving it around on the street cuz of the lag. Transient boost response sucked. Basically, the cars were only fun to drive in a straight line.

I know I'll either keep the stock turbo on my EVO or upgrade to the TME turbo.

 

I am most definately going with the 2.4 block. I just have a few more questions.

Will i still have a/c? Will this motor hold up everyday? I have heard bad stories about strokers and reliability.

 

Yes, it keeps the AC and everything bolts up with the adpater plate we use. Also it will be perfect reliable for a daily driver. We have been using this in our daily driver for at least 5 months at 30psi daily.
