So I just got everything completed on my 2.3L build running the BBK full ported and it's spooling crazy now and heats the turbo up very quickly, so I may be in the market for a bigger turbo but want to maintain a quickish spool. I don't care about having XXX whp, just one of those that would perform great on the street and occasional track (3 times per year at most). My tune isn't complete yet, but looks like it isn't liking 27+ psi anymore. I was currently running meth which I opted not to put back on anymore and no E-85 close by. I've checked out graphs and really looking into turning my BBK full into a BBK-B as of right now since mine has been outstanding with me. Any suggestions on which one I should chose? Most dyno sheets around here are with E-85 or meth. Thanks.

 

I love my fpblack on my 2.0 .. i can only dream of the badassness with a 2.3

I vote black all day on a 2.3.

 

Thanks, is that pump only?

 

Check out the BBK-B on e-85 on a 2.3 that GST Motorsports posted results about in the tuning section.

BBK-B ball bearing turbos are also coming out verryy soon.

 

Talk to chad about a bbk b BB - mine is there and ready for conversion

 

When you say "track" do you mean the drag strip, or closed circuit?

 

i love the fp black, but bb bbk sounds prety sick

 

Don't quote me on this but I don't think journal bearing BBK-Bs are still available. Pretty soon the options through CBRD will be a JB BBK-Lite & BBK Full or a BB BBK-B. OP, definitely talk to Chad about a BB BBK-B, should be a really fun turbo & reliable.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I left a message at CBRD. I love the BBK full but think with the 2.3 I need a little more "umph". Track will be 1/4 mile only.

 

no im on methanol injection 34psi stock block 524hp/460tq

but regardless i still vote the black on a 2.3 . the other turbos will come on so quick but lack the umph uptop.

this is all my opinion .

 

How about a bb black , that's what I run and that 's what gets my vote, 2,3bar @ 3900 and 9K red line on a 2.0L setup.

BBK-B's are now a ball bearing only turbo- when released shortly! with various compressor cover sizes and custom CBRD inlet pipes

I did get your message-

Can't wait!

 

Recently an EF4 customer of ours made over 500whp on pump with a stock block, I can only imagine how much fun that turbo would be with a 2.3L
