yea we havent had the chance to actually compare it to anything other than the customers old 20g but im sure people will start pushing these things once they have been out longer

 

A TON of interest on this turbo. PM us for crazy pricing on this amazing stock frame turbo

 

if you want a really quick spooling turbo with more power than stock...this is the best choice...with bb reliability as a bonus...

 

Has this been tested on a 2.3 stroker engine yet? Will this turbo be too small for that capacity engine?

 

Looks like a fun car

 

BY far IMO. I would def get this turbo instead of any other with a color code.... That thing hits hard, spools super fast and holds power. it never falls off.

 

a good way to summarize this turbo up is it will allow 50whp over a evo 9 with no loss in spool and more durable since its ball bearing. with that said i would never put it on a 2.3L. I can spool my black FULL by 3800rpm, it would be stupid to put this thing on a 2.3.. waste of motor........ unless you're looking for n/a feeling with a turbo.

 

^^ Maybe that's in fourth gear? in third gear on a 2.3L engine the black will hit full spool on about 4100, and that's being optimistic!!

 

wanna bet? obviously whoever tuned your car dont know how to tune for fast spool. I get my full boost (32psi) by 3800rpm. 4th gear it comes on so early it will surge the turbo.. around 3400rpm.

 

So basically it's a BB BBK FULL correct, and just falls short of HTA GREEN power?

 

Well for the non draggies out there I'd like to see some power and torque comparisons of these turbos on an engine with a hard rev limit of 5800 .
The restricted rally engines in the Evo 6 era were generating 650 Nm of torque and from memory works drivers were changing up at about 52-5300 revs .

I can't imagine how narrow/peaky some of these coloured turbos would feel to drive if not revved to the moon .
One thing air restrictors did do was to force the engineers to find ways of making killer torque in a rev limited engine .
Obviously this had to start at the manufacturers level in order to be able to homologate at least the Group A cars for international rallying .

I think the reason why Evos became so popular as street cars is because they make good torque and are not what I call laggy/peaky in OE form for their power output . Rally engines make good torque and fail dismally if they don't . Tarmac race engines are different - higher state of tune . Generally the homologated road going versions are laggy pigs that don't want to know about coming alive much under 4000 revs . Hopeless useless failures in my book - for a road car that is .

Anyway I'd really like to see what can be done with turbos designed to support a LOT of torque without a lot of revs . Maybe things like the 9RS turbo vs White HTA vs 7460R vs BBK lite .
I wonder how a HTA White with the spiffy comp housing/titanium turbine/ball bearings/10.8 cm T housing would go ...

A .

 

the torque comes on much faster with this turbo...look at the charts you will see why it hits so hard quickly...it speaks volumes for us road course junkies...incredible on street dd as well

 

ya its not a bad little turbo. 50whp over the 9 turbo and it does spool faster so torque will hit sooner. i think a lot of people like it because its ball bearing also and direct bolt on. its like a fast spooling 20g

 

force fed - what does a stock evo 8/9 put down on your dyno?

 

a normal bolt on evo8(intake/TBE/Fuelpump/MBC) around 290-310
evo9 around 315-330

obviously it depends on alot of things besides just mods but a bone stock 03 evo i think puts down around 210-220whp on ours

this turbo is a awesome lil turbo. Not a "replacement" for any of the other turbos but def a good addition to them
