that's pretty impressive chad. with that type of spool this could make for a very effective multi purpose turbo

something us autocrossers/time trialers would like to get our hands on for sure.

ok, im loading some charts...... i have sooo many...

the first two are of a STOCK turbo evo IX... vs. the BBK... similar boost (the BBK was up .3 psi sorry!!) .... similar mods..

car #1: BBK, 780s, Fuel Pump, Hallman Pro Rx, BR Fmic, Dc Sports Downpipe, Cobb Catback, Intake- 83 degrees 41% humidity

car #2: Stock IX turbo, fuel pump, hallman pro rx, ams fmic, dc sports downpipe, hks catback, intake- 68 degrees 36% humidity


at the same boost levels you can see we lose about 350rpm worth of spool up.... I did not put a boost plot because I wanted to get HP/TQ curves.... I can add that later.... there is an AFR plot for both, showing that they were tuned similar, car #2 was a little leaner.

once it hits peak torque, you can see the BBK has an advantage all the way to redline... I wish we had cams in this puppy...

here is that plot..



Here is the plot against a car with an HTA3076R, BR Race FMIC, COSSIE M3's, etc... EVO IX...

you can see an obvious spool up difference... is this a good comparison? well, for what we wanted yes... because we have lots of clients that ask about HTA's, our hybrid stage 3 50 trim, and stage 4 setups..... but everyone seems to run them on pump... so that was the point of this comparison....

Had our car had a set of S1's in it, i think we would see more torque and even more high rpm power.... NOW granted, the HTA is running at 1.3 psi less boost, I still dont think running it at 25.3 would have made up the difference AT ALL in the midrange... its just way too late...

here is that graph...



ill post some more data later, when I can.... with boost plots

but this is just FYI stuff for now... im very happy with what we have come up with... our clients have been waiting for us on this... and Im happy we are at this point.

cheers

Thumbs up

calebs car stock is about 220/225whp
with a tune at 23 psi, turboback, open element filter, fuel pump was 279/278
with the BBK Lite, and a BR fmic it was apprx 335/295 (26psi) stock injectors
and last night it was at apprx. 365whp/336wtq with the BBK test turbo at 27psi- 780 injectors

the car does not like timing up top, which is hindering a little power (its been like this)....

I am EXTREMELY pleased with these results.... the car does NOT have cams.... and the temps were higher than the other times this car was on the dyno....

780ish injectors are a must from what we are seeing right now... it was WAY WAY out of the stock injectors.

this turbo is doing exactly what I set out to have it do... its providing us with more peak hp and tq than a stock IX turbo.... and its only losing about 350 rpm in spool up and its peak power is right at redline, while peak torque is right at 4000rpm in 3rd gear...

Ill get some charts cleaned up and posted in the next few days... we are going to test a few more things with it.

Congratulations Chad on the performance this car has made, I have enjoyed watching this thread come along....even with the wait .

With a nice set of cams I'm guessing it might hit the magic 400whp . I think you have got yourself a winner on your hands mate. These are going to go like hot cakes judging from all the interest.

Well done to all of you at CBRD.

Cheers Steve

Steve,

Cams will be going in soon.... caleb was going to purchase a used set, but decided not too...... so we will probably pick up a set of S1's next month...

I think it will help, but I dont think it will hit 400whp, just shy perhaps.... Kreionics car will be the one to hit 400whp on pump... he has a BR head, now putting a BR race fmic in, etc etc...

the other thing this car will get (caleb's that has the turbo we are running right now) is the JMfab exhaust manifold... If it works as I hope, Id love to pair it with our turbo in a package.

cheers,

more to come

im confused? you posted these numbers with the upgraded perrin intake from calebs car?

This car has the following mods:

CBRD BBK compressor upgrade
Buschur Racing Race FMIC
modded walbro pump
dc sports downpipe
cobb turboback
stock cams, stock injectors...

please note that we were out of injector on this car before up top.... 100% IDC with our upgraded compressor wheel.... so youll notice the lean afr's up top.

baseline pulls, (average of the 3) was 324/300 (ish)...

we then added the intake...

and the first pull 355/309.... i was shocked.... never expecting any gain like that. by the third pull, it was 349/308... very consistent.

note that the boost rose 1/2 psi... and afr's leaned out about 2 tenths of a point...

very impressive....
so the turbo only made 10-15 more hp over when you bolted on the perrin intake? Not looking to start something - just clarification. The tq. def. increased though......

MMMM, this on e85 should be around 475whp+ no?

that was with the compressor upgrade alone (which had provided us with more of a power increase than we had expected).... calebs car on the stock turbo had only made around 280whp... then with the comp uprgade in the 320-330 range...then 340ish with the perrin intake (leaner because of the lessened inlet restriction)....

before.... untuned on the perrin intake, so the AFR was in the 12.0s.... and peaked upto 12.6 up top.... now the car is safely at apprx 11.7 afr and tapering to 11.2, which is more practical in pump gas terms hee he.

I am extremely happy with how it is performing.... I want to get cams in the car and see how it does..

do you have the ability to test one on a full bolt on car running e85?

Very nice results Chad, you posted the data that I wanted to see. The boost plots will finish presenting the whole picture.

Looks like I might be upgrading my turbo to a stock appearing one after all!!!

Chad,

That JM Fab exhaust mani looks absolutely stunning, I hope this works out well with your turbo. The craftsmanship is really outstanding, they do some nice gear alright.

Is the Perrin intercooler as efficient as the BR race intercooler Chad, as it looks very good as well? Pretty late here mate, I'll check back tomorrow.

Cheers Steve
